@NichHarri@CarterRoutes Student loan isn't a tax it's a loan repayment and if you're earning that much you will pay it off sooner. They are taxed 42p because the rate quoted includes the NIC at the basic rate band but the income tax at higher rate so completely misleading.
@The25thofFoot@bobby_jags@Heccles94 No it doesn't. It states 35% of voters over 65 are reform voters. That doesn't state what percentage of reform voters are over 65.
@awenaio@MsBin117 "Research indicates that 62% - 73% of transgender people have experienced harassment and violence because they were identified as transgender." A much lower percentage of transwomen have raped and abused women.
While it appears that the government has successfully pushed back on some particularly harmful elements in the previous draft, the new Code of Practice will still lead to the exclusion of trans people from services and facilities that they have used without issue for a very long time.
This will do nothing to improve womenโs lives and the many struggles we face, but it will put trans people (and anyone perceived as trans) at increased risk of discrimination, harassment and violence. The Code unfortunately still represents the culmination of years of anti-trans campaigning from a small, well-funded minority who have had outsized influence in the media and in politics, and have weaponised the courts for their own ends.
The legal situation for trans people is now deeply incoherent and means that it is untenable for them to be able live their lives with dignity. This is completely out of line with the values of equality that a Labour government is meant to champion. Instead of making this Code statutory, the government should be legislating to clarify and protect trans peopleโs rights, privacy and inclusion.
@Somers_10@ZacBrox@TAFKASB What's stopping family farms being gifted to the next generation to avoid IHT other than the usual stubbornness of the patriarch?
The BBC refuse to hold scammer Farage to account. MPs are meant to declare ALL gifts over ยฃ300 in the calendar year leading up to their election.
I refuse to look away. Repost if you feel the same.
