@lee_ryder Anyone watch the National League Cup game at Gateshead. They were pretty good, with 4 or 5 players exceptionally good. If the gap really is as wide with Chelsea as it looked, either Chelsea have a youth squad off the planet good or freak result.
@KatieJWhite I note that you are to be given a chance to vote on scrapping pensioners' winter fuel allowance. I am a constituent of yours and will not forget how you vote. There are many other fairer ways to raise money (e.g., windfall taxes on the energy companies) as you well know.
@abiezercoppe1@KatieJWhite 2. A different person to the one who phoned me asking to support her candidacy. Specifically asked if she her position on closer ties with Europe and if she was prepared to put people before party. Response obviously untrue and clearly a future ministerial job trumps conscience.
@abiezercoppe1@KatieJWhite I agree with you Peter. I wrote an email supporting the principal of closing the funding gap but challenging the winter fuel allowance measures as regressive and not the only choice. Just hot the central office template reply. Probably me done. Off to the Libdems
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret And 2. HRT pension tax relief. Major for middle income earners. Irrelevant for millionaires. A cap linked to a pension provision of say average earnings much more progressive. Should all tax decisions be tested via a prism of progressiveness.
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret One for Alastair. Why isn't progressiveness doesn't seem on the Labour agenda eg 1. Winter fuel: 3% hit for pensioner not much above pension credit. Minute hit for one on 300k.
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret Winter fuel allowance and care costs. Reeves measures are highly regressive. Affect people just above the line disproportionately. c.f. estate of ยฃ150k v ยฃ150m. Rory - challenge Alastair please. Revenue could have been raised more fairly.
Official audience figures just out indicate Boom listening has grown 14% in a year - rising to record levels amongst our 55+ generation. And you listen more loyally than listeners to any other UK music station. Thanks!
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret One for @campbellclaret
ยฃ300 WFA has the biggest impact on the people just above the Pension Credit limit. Little impact on people with pensions of ยฃ100k a year. Cap on social care has a huge impact on an estate of ยฃ150k and very little on an estate of ยฃ150m.Grubbily regressive.
