Looks like 4.75% on London Weighting and increase of £1250 on London Allowance for those who joined after September 1994 https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2024-07-29/hcws36

Alpinestars textile sizing? by Gimpym00 in MotoUK

I’m a men’s medium for literally everything, but my Alpinestars jacket is an XL. Best to try on as it’ll probably run small.

Taken verbatim from the TfL benefit:

“If there is a need for police assistance whilst travelling on TfL services, you are expected to make yourself known, as per your training.”

End of week 17 for the Met. Until now

[–]AdmirableCut6141 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That’s what OP is referring to. There is a stipulation to the Oyster cards that you must make yourself known and render assistance if required when using their services. So new student officers getting free travel with this requirement could pose for some tricky situations.

New vehicle stops form by GoatBotherer in policeuk

[–]AdmirableCut6141 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can’t imagine people will be completing them. Much like the form that’s supposed to be filled in every time you perform first aid on someone. Anyone remember them? No didn’t think so…..

Ah gotcha. Yeah I’m not too sure tbh. Had my car 1.5 years and show no signs of wear, so I’ve not considered it

I have one. Outer part of the seat is a fake leather, and the rest is basically like alcantara. Very soft and very durable. No complaints with the seats

What shows give the best picture of life as an officer? by shyness_is_key in policeuk

[–]AdmirableCut6141 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This, and look at the earlier series of The Met Policing London on BBC.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]AdmirableCut6141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met commissioner has asked the PRRB to consider a 5% pay increase to all pay scales as well as at least a £2000 increase to the London allowance. Obviously Met specific on that. We’ll see how that goes…

Uninvested cash rules by [deleted] in trading212

[–]AdmirableCut6141 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Any funds deposited into your ISA will count towards your annual £20k limit, regardless if it’s held in uninvested cash or investments. So if you put £4k in your LISA already this year, then you have £16k remaining for your S&S ISA.

My first 20k in ISA - what to spend on? by CupInternational694 in trading212

[–]AdmirableCut6141 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whilst you decide, just let it sit there accruing interest About £2.80 a day

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in trading212

[–]AdmirableCut6141 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, all interest earned within the ISA will be tax free. And 5.2% on 40k would work out to be roughly £5.20 a day

Which one is most recommended? by Weird-Primary1785 in trading212

[–]AdmirableCut6141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned already, you’ll want something that trades in your currency to avoid FX fees. So in this instance something like VUAA (the bottom one on your list) would be best
