You probably don’t own a small business like a pub or shop with spiralling costs. None of these measures help people like that

@derxa re: above what you like to see done to help?

@placemats thanks for the new thread ❤️

Thank you @placemats. A prompt tax payment here.

Gosh you move very fast. I missed the last 50 posts. Was disappointed I couldn't suggest "Tears for Keir - Andys not the messiah , he's a naughty boy" For thread title!
Thanks for the new thread @placemats

Cat tax. Bought in Rome because DD2 requested it.

Vat could be cut in half for hospitality for a start. No one in their right mind would start up a pub or restaurant business right now. I know he’s hated on here but Jeremy Clarkson has shown you can’t make any money. He’s going to put up prices.

It did move fast, so had to act quickly. Your suggestion is good.

You’ll doubtless approve of Burnham then.

Thanks @placemats i was getting twitchy at how full the old thread was but still feel too much of a newcomer to actually start one! Objectively I’m not ‘new’ now, but…
Cat tax of hot Perdy

Thanks for the new thread @placemats

No tax. My cat is evading it.

I do approve. KS ploughed on taking more and more of people’s money. Ideology over ordinary people’s lives.

Ordinary people’s lives were I proved by many of the changes. I agree hospitality is in a bind, but giving people more disposable income (via eg childcare changes and so on) will also help there. The fact is that all the infrastructure of the country is in a mess from 14 years of underinvestment and asset stripping. Money has to come from somewhere.

Nice little headline from Guardian - as if

Farage claims 'no one cares' about his undisclosed £5m donation from crpto billionaire, 'apart from media'*

Yes from hard working people.

Who else loves being told what to think ?

Thanks for the new threads, @placemats !

@cardibach you are so not a newcomer.

Cat tax in the form of Cannelloni striking a pose, and extra moth tax just because it's called an Old Lady and that's adorable.

I blame Kemi Badenoch.

Well, blaming the Brexiteers isn't a bad start.

Thanks for the new thread

It filled up quickly suspect it was deliberate so had to move fast.

eta You are very much not a newbie x

Here’s my cat tax. Sadly, Lightning has been in the wars recently, probably in a fight. 😢

Thanks for stepping in, placemats.

This thing (cordyline australis) is flowering for a second year running. Last year's flower skeleton is still there.

They don't tend to flower often, up here. Apparently, a lot of the ones that have thrived for years on the south coast are now rotting due to extremes of wetness and drought.

I'm just following the assertion that the leader of the opposition is secretly responsible for all the bad things the party in power does.

How do you define hard working people? Because most people who work are hard working. So are people who may not be in employment. Single parents working hard to parent alone. Disabled people working hard to just keep going in the face of a hostile enviroment. Their carers. Retired people who have worked hard and some of whom may be now caring for grand children so oarents can work. People who volunteer. This list is not exhaustive.
