NEWS: The work mileage allowance for under 10,000 miles will rise by 10p to 55p backdated to April 2026.

So this means if you drive for work in your own car (like many care workers for example) you can be given up to 55p a mile tax and NI free. And if you're not given that level you can claim the tax back on the difference between what you're given and that amount

Eg so if you're given 30p /mile. You can reclaim tax paid on your wages for the 25p/mile difference.

@alfie_t8 The 'no profit from housing' argument falls apart pretty quickly when you realise that also means no more private sector house building at all. 🤦

Awesome episode from @ChrisWillx. But somewhat ironic that I can't do the simple task of sharing it on @Spotify without getting a meaningless error 😭. Can I get AI to make a functional Spotify yet?

@thegirlchlo_ As a born and bred resident of the North East I can confirm the @My_Metro is cool. Overpriced but good with the Pop app, which never really works. But they show effort. And the staff are lovely. 👍😎

@elonmusk Removing purpose from the entire planet is a dangerous path. 😬

@sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 Lack of basic economic literacy is why the country is in such a mess.

@BysCys68812 @AlgorithmOga @PolitlcsUK And therefore pay less tax? And what do you think happens to inflation in this mythical scenario? So who is now worse off?? 🤦

Hi @TeamYouTube @YouTube - is uploading broken at the moment? I've tried uploading this vid 5 times now. Every time it hangs at this screen with the 'Next' button greyed out. 🤔

@BobbyDukeArts @forever_gf618 Ditto. I ditched Adobe years ago. DaVinci for video. Affinity for photo. SumatraPDF reader. Etc etc.

YouTube has a monopoly 'cause Google own the cables. That's very different to Adobe.

Oof... thoughts to Equity for Punks investors. I remember when this came about and I have to say I was tempted. Dodged a bullet - looks like a lot of people have lost a lot of money 😓. Shame. I personally won't be buying their beer any more. What went wrong?

[Andy Mac @gosforthandy]

No more Netflix on our PS3 as of today! 😭 What are your work-arounds?? Full discussion over on my Discord... https://t.co/rYasAZpu83

@docm77 I came off 5 ish years ago since it was truly horrific (mistake... possibly). Not much different now but Community Notes is a welcome addition. Most social media is bobbins though. I miss forums. 😅

@MarcelVos96 @YouTube The whole user experience is a disaster now. Repeated recommendations for the same video on the Home page - nothing I'm actually interested in. And now the Subscribed page is trashed. 😓 Who makes these decisions??

@callanswag2 @itiswattles Smithing table is one of the best job blocks!

@justuseanything @AussieOverLawd @epidemicsound are great - never had a single copyright issue, unlike MA, and music quality is excellent. Don't do stock video tho.
