@dontdelay The problem is that when do you cut the triple lock and then make the SP means tested? It needs to happen, but young and middle age people get old and then what they are paying tax for they miss out on.

@stats_feed Walking in the countryside. And wild camping.

@JamesMelville Moving house.

@Dan4Barnet Isn’t the Bank of England separate from Government? This comment suggests otherwise.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@iamtomskinner I agree with this. However, the apprenticeship system is an absolute mess. Employers that want to make use of apprenticeships find it so hard to navigate that they don’t bother.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@David__Osland It doesn’t. Those paying for private social care are subsidising those that the state pay for as the state pays a lower amount. This happens in the same settings.

@SmartSacks @Profadviser And have two thirds of advisers really mentioned it? They obviously haven’t got much to talk about if they have.

So with 38% claimants of Universal Credit being in work it seems crazy to keep ramping up employer taxes. Surely freeing up the ability to increase employee wages without being penalised through additional taxation would ease those requiring to draw UC?

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@SmartSacks Totally agree. That said I have two clients who need access to TFC next year for differing reasons and seems sensible to bring that date forward.

@philbray73 @VouchedFor Thanks for the ideas Phil. We are on the hunt for Google reviews so that’s a good shout.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@philbray73 We have literally set up WhatsApp for business today. Not sure what to do now but it is there!!

This time last year New Orleans. Today Orleans. These two cities sum up the difference between the USA and France. Literally nothing in common, however, I found much to like in both. That said we felt fearful of our lives in one of the two. And it wasn’t from Joan of Arc.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@RugbyInsideLine This is a mess.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@RugbyInsideLine It is not just the ticket prices at Twickenham that are off putting, it is the whole day cost. Transport, food and a few pints. You are doing well to enjoy a day out for less than £400 for two.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@stats_feed Who rated these cuisines? Americans? There is no way US food could be mentioned in the same breath let alone equal to French.

@AlanJLSmith One has to consider what the vision is of acquirer firms. Most must share the Morgan Stanley shorter term view.

@kermitthecontr1 @LBC @ShelaghFogarty If I had a penny for every time I heard this I would….buy another property that you cannot lose money on.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@AbrahamOnMoney @RobS_Kingmakers It’s the best option at present. In my opinion at least.

[John Wheatley @wheato1976]

@AbrahamOnMoney @RobS_Kingmakers I couldn’t agree more. The whole business of gaining and retaining permissions along with the additional compliance headache is just too daunting for most. Partnerships with existing platforms seems a more straightforward prospect.
