Net migration has fallen 82%.
I promised to restore control to our borders. My government is delivering.
I know there’s more to do, we’re introducing a skills-based migration system that rewards contribution and ends our reliance on cheap overseas workers.
@SarahCholwill Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you can reject a faulty vehicle for a full refund within 30 days.
Speak to Citizens Advice.
If a fault appears within 6 months, it's assumed pre-existing, and the dealer must try to fix it.
Document everything.
It will likely discourage savings and investment, especially in this country.
Must tie in with...
- Making the exemption the same as the Personal Allowance and tie them both to inflation.
- Making ISA allowances greater, and tied to inflation.
Wes Streeting has this morning set out his tax plans - specifically bringing capital gains tax into line with income tax
He says that the current system is unfair because it penalises work
Higher or additional rate taxpayers will pay 24% on gains in the current financial year. Streeting said that the rates should mirror income tax bands - so 40% for higher rate taxpayers and 45% for additional rate taxpayers
He says that the approach could raise £12billion a year
Streeting said: “A member of my family is a cleaner in Lancashire. She pays a higher tax rate on her salary than her landlord pays for the growing value of the home she lives in. She slogs her guts out, he puts in far less effort, yet the state rewards him more than her. And we wonder why people are angry.
“The system is penalising work. It’s not fair and it’s bad for our economy. We need a wealth tax that works. A pound made from simply owning assets should not be taxed less than a pound made from a hard day's work. We can do it in a way that is pro-growth, pro-entrepreneur and pro-work.”
Yea, when challenged he just talked over, comparing his income with the Duke's inheritance is apples and oranges...
Now comparing his income v the income the Duke gets FROM the inherited assets is all apples.
So wealth taxes NO, tiered income taxes + anti avoidance rules YES.
🚨 FIA president Ben Sulayem has confirmed F1 will return to V8 engines
"It's coming, oh yes, it is coming. At the end of the day, it’s a matter of time. In 2031, the FIA will have the power to do it, without any votes from the power unit manufacturers."
"You will hear about it very soon. It will not be something like now, which is a 46-54 split. There will be very minimal [electric] power."
"I'm targeting 2030. One year before the maturity [of the regulations]. it will happen. But let's say the manufacturers don't [vote for it], then one more year and it will be done. It's not a matter of, 'Do I need their support?' No, it will be done. V8 is coming."

@cmwrawcliffe This is a little short sighted.
Firstly, what people can "live on" differs.
Secondly, your solution advocates:
- higher prices / inflation up spiral
OR
- staff lose job
- high st shop empty
- owner lose livelihood
- customers lose choice
Supply, demand, immigration all linked.
@MBdaytrading Not been thought through properly.
What happens:
- if 2008 type crisis happens while it's on sale?
- if it would mean mortgage default
- if it's due to divorce or death
- to the housing crisis
- to rents generally
- etc
No sale no CGT
No rent no income tax.
Don't they need £?
@100kDiary If it was negative equity, you just hand the keys back to avoid that. Finance Co's car & nothing more to pay.
Then start afresh with a new PCP blank slate.
Just ensure it's got a minimum future guaranteed value in the terms.
Angela Rayner has been moaning on a lefty podcast that her son ( 29, married, one child) can’t afford to buy a house as he’s on a “ very low income”.
Life ain’t fair which is why the bank of mum of dad often helps out.
If Ms Rayner hadn’t evaded £40K of stamp duty she could have sent her lad the £8K fine she faces from HMRC and he could have used it as a deposit.
Even on minimum wage a 40 hour week would give her son £26.4K with a mortgage bank prepared to lend 4 times pay to low earners.
Have been looking at prices in his mum’s constituency of Ashton and Lyne, for £120K you can buy a two up two down terraced home.
Sure it’s a starter and doesn’t compare with his mum’s £800K place in Hove, but it’s a beginning
Although he comes from a Socialist household the son might even be prepared to work extra hours and his wife may have to pitch in.
Owning your own home is not a right. At the beginning it takes sacrifice.
Having a famous mum, making good money, bleating in public about son’s finances is not helpful.
Anybody would think she was running for high office!!!
No, not exactly. Nigel Farage has repeatedly said he's open to shifting NHS funding from general taxation to an insurance-based model (like France's, with mandatory contributions via payroll/social security). Reform UK's position is to keep care free at the point of use for British citizens while using more private capacity to cut waits.
Labour's video frames this as forcing personal bills like the US system, citing admin costs and past quotes—but Farage rejects full privatisation and calls the tax model unsustainable. It's a funding debate, not guaranteed out-of-pocket charges.
