@s8mb Govt are in some cases providing nearly 50% of peoples pension contributions. Hardly surprising that they want to get more benefit for the wider country out of that big tax break than they currently are.
Also seems to have worked well in Australia and Canada
@jo3hill Did you read the article? Your savings aren’t there to prop up UK assets (the article agrees). But the significant tax relief on them is partly for that!
UK ministers seek to reassure bond investors on their borrowing plans. It’s as if Britain is littered with white elephants of insane capital projects gone wrong. Where are all of them? https://t.co/xzGij4c07t
I like Rosie Duffield. But her resignation won’t damage Keir Starmer. You can’t stand for election for a party, then resign two months later, and retain political credibility.
@rajsinghchohan@AnfieIdFix Genuine question…if he’s so bad why does pep continually start him? He is a ruthless coach who can easily spend £70m on a new RB if he wants to
Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds all this year have taken over London for transactions taken after midnight. Whilst the rest of the country is enjoying itself, we aren’t in London. Labour run all the councils. Our Labour Mayor and Labour Night Czar in since 2016.
This is a choice
Genuine question. How many more examples of this stuff do people actually have to produce before those defending these marches acknowledge there’s a serious problem developing here.
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret If Boris Johnson appointed Dominic Cummings’ son as a candidate for a safe seat I’m sure @campbellclaret would have complained. Will he do the same now Starmer has done this same favour for Sue Gray?
It’s the same in the UK: saying nasty things about Grenfell or Hillsborough victims is much more likely to get you prosecuted than celebrating the mass murder of Jews. Censorship and “public order” laws will never be enforced neutrally.
5 or 6% interest rates are not part of anyone's plan who has even a tiny grip on reality. It was (very) fringe economists rather than @trussliz who said it'd be good to see surging rates - they should have been ignored then and shockingly are being a lot quieter now
Final message of the day. I grew up thinking Great Britain and the US were the standard bearers for decency and principles. We’re both currently f@@@@d. Change needed like you wouldn’t believe 🙌🙏❤️
