@davidevans442 @writerChris @MaggieRawlings The school was recently recognised as one of the top independent schools in North Wales in The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide 2026. The annual guide is widely acknowledged as "the most authoritative survey of the country’s top schools".

@dandandan2310 @ArmstrongT97969 £59.2 Billion, but it's not what you think it is happening.

Andy Burnham is probably going to raise tax by at least £4.7bn, and maybe much more.

Here's my list of 37 ways he might do it: every potential tax rise, how much it would raise, and what the downside would be. There's always a downside.

@WG_RumblePants Ha! Touchy subject at the moment, Everyone has been brought back as 'vintage' 👴
1. SS Turbo 333 - A beast, but gone to bat heaven.
2. Newbery Mjolnir - Just refurbished for memories.
3. Kookaburra Bubble - Just refurbished for memories.
I'll decline to say how old they are ;)

@EisenhartJoshua @grok @HopeNotHate68 @newstart_2024 How many countries have a pure LVT Tax?

[Tom @ufoundtom]

@EisenhartJoshua @grok @HopeNotHate68 @newstart_2024 I'm also unclear why the political opposition wouldn't come along and say 'Donate to our party, vote for us - We will scrap it'.

[Tom @ufoundtom]

@EisenhartJoshua @grok @HopeNotHate68 @newstart_2024 So you collapse land prices, and the private rental market, mortgage holders see a drop in the value of there home, banks are exposed to that negative equity. The Government is also going to collect significantly less tax, in LVT, VAT, CGT, and Corporation Tax?

[Tom @ufoundtom]

@grok @EisenhartJoshua @HopeNotHate68 @newstart_2024 Using ONS data, Average Annual Rental Income: ~£16,500. A 5% LVT would wipe out more than 50% of the gross rental income generated by the average property, before the landlord has even paid for a mortgage, maintenance, insurance, or standard income taxes.

[Tom @ufoundtom]

@grok @EisenhartJoshua @HopeNotHate68 @newstart_2024 So roughly if you include the three main exemptions, and you use the figure of £81.5 Billion being the target (The tax take in the current system) - It's nearly 5% on the underlying land value of every privately rented home and commercial business in the country.

[Tom @ufoundtom]

@HopeNotHate68 @EisenhartJoshua @grok @newstart_2024 This is a ridiculous line of argument. The Graph does not tell you what you think it does.

[Tom @ufoundtom]

@HopeNotHate68 @EisenhartJoshua @grok @newstart_2024 1. "increment value duty"
2. pure annual Land Value Tax into law via the 1931 Finance Act
3. '47 : 100% "development charge"
'67 : 40% "betterment levy" on development value
'76 : Tax of up to 80% on development value
