- Oh is Oxford just doing affirmative action for gobby thugs now.Another question, how on earth did he get into Oxford PPE with ABB? I know people with A*A*A who got rejected.
- Raiding salary sacrifice schemes is taxing people who want to work hard and are happy to put their earnings into UK government bonds for 30 years. It is surgically focused to punish people who want to help you by maximising their output and minimising their consumption.🚨 NEW: Rachel Reeves will use the Budget to impose a £2k-a-year limit on how much salary can go into a pension before paying National Insurance The move will raise £2bn and hit salary sacrifice schemes [@thetimes]
- ‘Foreigners exempt from tax’ is the sort of thing that happens after you lose opium wars.This from the Indian press release on the trade deal and side deals
- It is in equal parts laughable and horrifying that vast swathes of our adult society have moral lessons revealed to them by fictional TV dramas. This is the sort of thing people do in dictatorships to promote new party thought.
They literally created a work of fiction that suited their prejudices and immediately demanded further study of it as fact - Amusingly the president elect of the Oxford Union appears to struggle with the distinction between equivocal and unequivocal denial of intimidation.
🔴Oxford Union, Act III. Having brought allegations and complaints about the integrity of the procedure and count of the no confidence poll, the result is now pending and George Abaraonye remains President-Elect. Apart from being utterly graceless, he has no sense at all of the - Who are you even demanding this from? You’ve managed to set up a protest movement against yourself.I’ve always fought — and always will — for maximum member democracy. If you believe Your Party should be explicitly socialist, radically democratic, rooted in mass movement and led by our members, not MPs — join me and back these democratic demands: (1/3)
- If only Dublin was home to Europe’s leading, most on time, low cost airline which prioritises direct flights and not losing your bags by not putting them in the hold.Today, I made the mistake of flying from Dublin to Paris via London's Heathrow Airport. This was a remarkably stupid move on my part, given that London, and by extension Heathrow, is located in the failing formerly-developed country known as "the UK". I almost paid dearly for
- Canary Wharf is a disgusting place to put them because we spent a fortune on that place being the future of Britain. But this is what the future is now. All infrastructure spending, area regeneration, hard work is for this. Housing foreign sex offenders.🚨 Migrants are being MOVED from the Bell Hotel in EPPING into the luxury 5 star, laughably named "Britannia Hotel," in Canary Wharf that even houses a SWIMMING POOL. The speed with which they did this makes you think. WHY AREN'T OUR OWN HOMELESS BEING HOUSED?
- Cat Eccles has a confession that she is too stupid to work in parliament on her own Wikipedia.
- Automatic right to a state pension and 13 years of education for your children if you can wash dishes is unaffordable lunacy.
- Zoe Gardener will start lying the minute she doesn’t know what she is talking about and people should remember this every time she is called a migration expert.
- It would be extremely difficult to reconstruct the total cost of welfare via mandates and legal duties in the UK. Every year people on benefits just get given £150 by energy suppliers who simply add it onto other people’s bills, yet this goes unacknowledged and unthanked.The unfairness of this beggars belief. The subsidy to the 6m will not come from general taxation, which is broadly progressive, but from the energy bills of other households, many of whom are not that much better off than those getting the subsidy. Interesting he doesn’t tell us
- Today I learned that pensioners who become disabled cannot apply for PIP but anyone already on PIP who reaches retirement age keeps their additional payments. In effect this permanently increases their state aid compared those who didn’t claim while they were working age.
