@SerendipityJane
Imagine if it had a triple lock like pensions!?
But I do get £10 at Christmas (which is the same amount as it was in 1970....)

But the £10 isn't taxable, so there is that to be grateful for.

😳 That’s quite the rant. I have great respect for carers. I used to be a teacher and before that a speech and language therapist and know how hard I worked in those professions. . I don’t think that farmers are the hardest working people. All farmers didn’t vote for Brexit. I certainly didn’t.

Thanks for the new thread. Off to look for some tax.

We also had the huge storm last night, started around 3.30am and went on for well over an hour. Fantastic lightning, loads of constant rumbling thunder and totally torrential rain.

@derxa
I didn't say "all" as you well know. (Post is there to reread)
I'm not engaging with you further. You delight in misquoting people and getting arsey when its pointed out.

Anyone else a bit 🤔 at all the Chancellor talk?
Surely WS can't think he's got a chance!?

Am I alone in thinking that one of the main (if not main) priority of the NHS should be to ensure that as many people as possible are able to work to their best potential as possible in order to aid the UKs productivity and allow the creation and distribution of as much wealth as possible ?

You know (dare I whisper it) like investing

Because from where I am dying, it looks like it's main focus is having to expend a fucktonne of resources just to stay still, as the people it fails develop more and more serious (and expensive) health conditions.

As always, happy to be proved wrong.

Regulars may recall I can be anal about definitions. Because I am well aware that a lot of arguments really stem from people thinking different things. Starting with what is the point of government and moving down (or up)

Because from where I am dying

@SerendipityJane is this a typo? I hope.

Last night on Newsnight, Nick Watt said that he heard that Miliband, Streeting and McFadden were all touted as prospective Chancellor and when that happens it's usually none of them. Mahmood has stated she wants to stay as Home Secretary.

My money’s on Healey with Carns at Defence.

As all of us are, I have been dying since I was born

And it's not that I'm afraid of death. But I'd rather not be there when it happens.

(But it was a turn of phrase 😀)

I thought perhaps you meant that!

Whoever it is they'll have to stick with Reeves' fiscal rules, because Burnham supports them.

Hot weather tax. Late night Mumsnetting.

Although he is absolved of being recorded as having voted for them.

True dat!

Wonder how harsh he'll be regarding the three line whip.

Interesting timing, as a new PM is due to take office.

Thanks for starting the new thread @placemats

Thanks for the new thread @placemats and paying Yorkshire tax.

Placemark still evading tax

Farage didn't have a good day on his media rounds, even Julia Hartley-Brewer gave him a hard time over the £5m

What a shame, my heart bleeds for him. That £5 million just won’t go away.

You're very welcome and I hope you don't mind.

My tax from the M1! Omph!
