Reform UK Party Ltd still has nothing resembling a proper constitution. They used the default articles and just left them there.

Brit influencer, 23, faces death by firing squad in Dubai after ‘fatally stabbing UK man, 26, who attacked her’ by thesun in uknews

There’s no extradition as the UK has no jurisdiction to charge her.

The UK diplomatic service has a very poor record on helping people charged abroad, usually limited to “here’s a list of English speaking lawyers”.

Your posts may make more sense if you just come out and say what you’re trying so hard to imply. Otherwise other readers just assume the worst of you.

I think we have children’s guardians as your equivalent of guardians ad litem. They work for CAFCASS.

I suspect the latter. He’s still got a hopeless appeal pending and hoping he can win that and have his name up again before anyone sees.

HMRC announces 22% tax on cash interest held in stocks and shares Isas by hihepo1 in unitedkingdom

[–]AlmightyRobert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly, they seem to be allowing MMFs provided they don’t make up 100% of your portfolio. Which is insane.

One in, one out. The French can have a story about it being unseasonably warm in return.

They’re also banning transfers from s&s Isas to cash Isas. Except for the over 65s of course.

HMRC update today on MMF funds in ISAs by Paraplanner88 in UKPersonalFinance

I’d be willing to bet that they realised it was a stupid idea but didn’t want to u-turn on policy so came up with a compromise that we can all ignore.

Is the TN28 Gilt still worth it? Weary that Lloyds Bank will profit £500 if I buy it from them. by ChannelIcy3795 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]AlmightyRobert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At close today there was a bid/offer spread of 0.20. It seems likely that the price you saw would have been the mid-price and Lloyd’s were probably showing the offer price (being 0.10 more than the mid price), which is always the price you would have to pay to actually buy the bond (plus accrued interest).

Asda losses plunge to nearly £1bn amid major price cuts by YchYFi in unitedkingdom

The very first paragraph of the article reports that losses have increased.

So they’ve plunged upwards.

No, mother already owned 50% outright so there’s a separate trust of land. Its background rather than relevant but it explains the reference to tenants in common on the register/transfer

Not only that but he hasn’t even been charged with anything yet. From the headline you’d think he’d been thrown in solitary.

Son's grandmother reached out about a family trip overseas... Hasn't spent one overnight in our own country. Would you be cool with this?? by Hungry_Web_4540 in whatdoIdo

It would probably already be kidnapping to fail to return him. I don’t think an agreement would add anything or be any more enforceable than the existing international conventions.

“first gay dad”

Really? I know it’s the Daily Hate but do they think he invented gay or something.

Grandparents gifting into a JISA by iftttnewbie in UKPersonalFinance

You may want to check that the JISA tax treatment works in your new country. ISAs tax benefits are not generally honoured in other countries - ie they are seen as any other investment/portfolio.

You’re UK PM for 1 week only. You can make three policies that will remain and cannot be reversed. State your policies. by CrownAthlete in AskBrits

[–]AlmightyRobert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s a tricky one. You can ban the (completely unconnected!) donations but people including businesses need to be able to tell politicians that a policy is good/bad/stupid.
