@damian_thirsty@nats_tired Give every pensioner a new tax code of P, make the tax free income per year for a P tax code (as an example) 18,000. Any income in the tax year over 18,000 is taxable. Simple, easy to implement and those with both private pension and state pension become tax payers.
@WingsScotland Get a competent, honest and transparent party into Holyrood (hen’s teeth I know) let them improve the lives of people living here, encourage business and get good jobs with decent pay - ask again, you will find a very different response.
@peterrhague Here’s the UK 10y gilt yield-to-fucked scale:
4%: fucked
5%: proper fucked
6%: utterly fucked
7%+: time to buy tinned goods
Currently sitting at ~5.2% (highest since 2008). Proper fucked.
@SandyofSuffolk We bought in the Scottish Borders - just - we are a mile from the English/Scottish border. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful countryside and houses prices are very reasonable. Also buying/selling is a far easier process. We moved up from St Albans.
@Kylo53@SandyofSuffolk@ktfbtc @Kennvertn878 My first job was a 40 minute walk each way, no buses went where I worked, couldn’t afford a car. 2nd job was 2 bus rides, 1 into the city centre, one from city centre out the other side, again about 45 mins, plus the time spent walking to bus stop and home.
Isn't this strange... Labour Together deleted this post from X showing an LT event at 2023 Labour conference, addressed by Peter Mandelson, @jreynoldsMP and hosted by Josh Simons. This screengrab was taken two weeks ago, so only deleted since then. Would be a shame if it was shared, widely, so it never disappears.
🚨 UK IN DANGER 🚨
You are not signing this petition for me. You’re not even signing it for yourself; you are signing it for our children and our children’s, children.
Right now in the UK, convicted terrorists are standing in our upcoming elections.
I will continue to use Shahid Butt as just one example.
He is an Islamic terrorist who plotted to blow up BRITISH buildings. He was caught and convicted. He is standing in the May elections, in the UK, this year.
This petition is vital!
