@Workshops4Gaza Seems like they could have a snack whilst doing that. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@MartinSLewis Pers accounts that we are paid into. But jt acct for all spending. Monthly budget that splits all of our money across all of our financial commitments and savings. Jt savings+investments for specifics things (house, Christmas, holiday) same amount ind savings per person

@JJFilmsX @paddmadfad *can join army but only with parents’ permission and can’t be sent on operations until you are 18.

@JohnPeg83296785 @ShepherdWales Try reading this and having some objectivity. Many schools actually reduce fees for forces children down to the rate of CEA plus 10%. Also plenty of non-offocers send their children, but officers have longer careers and often have most movement

@DeKuip02 @CazB52 @PolitlcsUK @DominicPenna VAT is not a tax on profit. It’s a tax on the consumer.

@Heinousalmond6 @OneKneeSteve @MilitaryBanter That’s a recipe for a happy work force. Be away from your spouse whilst only being motivated by the promise of a pension.

[Jimfreck @jwalters87]

@Heinousalmond6 @OneKneeSteve @MilitaryBanter Except it isn’t near his posting so he has to weekly commute, which him and his wife don’t want, or have to downsize home selling their possessions. He had considered commissioning but his children won’t be able to stay at Xmas so he leaves to live in his own house instead.

[SO2 portaloos - a staff officers story! @SO2portaloos]

Almost no-one will see an improvement in their offer.

Even if you do, it’s a communist policy where mil housing is an extension of the welfare state. It’s a pay reduction for one to increase the pay of another.

Concentrate on the real injustice: overall standard (incl SLA) 🧵

[Jimfreck @jwalters87]

@DefencePeople @RoyalNavy @BritishArmy @RoyalAirForce Now can we discuss the reduction in living standards for officers?

[Jimfreck @jwalters87]

@buglerbilly @EdOBrien @DefenceAccomPol @EldonMillar @DefencePeople Nope

[Jimfreck @jwalters87]

@TheSenkari @ShimphingWO @combat_boot That was only on the trial. Everyone will pay for SLA but you can claim back an allowance up to £125 if you maintain a separate property.

@Army_Leadership @pinstripedline Is this actually an official post from the Centre for Army Leadership calling a sitting MP a dickhead?

[Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green @MPIainDS]

The Army officer exodus is about to get much worse. Woke new housing rules set by a weak Ministry of Defence undermine the attractiveness of service life. https://t.co/PXP0b4rHH5

@matelotjonah @haynesdeborah From what I have seen that has little to no effect. No one is close enough to the decision makers to have any impact.

[Deborah Haynes @haynesdeborah]

A shake-up in military accommodation could prompt hundreds of UK officers to quit because the size of the house they qualify for will shrink "significantly", defence sources have warned.

@tonyfrank1978 @Exitus1987 @EdOBrien How is that on you and not the MOD? They are changing the offer.

[Jimfreck @jwalters87]

@tonyfrank1978 @Exitus1987 @EdOBrien It’s not the only metric for a modern family.

[Jimfreck @jwalters87]

@pixelation2021 @EdOBrien What extra benefits do officers get? They are paid for responsibility.

[Jimfreck @jwalters87]

@Special_KL @EdOBrien A levelling down of the policy yes. But if you’re in the group of people losing out in a significant way then you’re also allowed to not be happy and to complain about it, and if it is right, make the decision that the organisation no longer values you as it once did.
