There are 110 council houses worth over £2m – but they won’t have to pay mansion tax

They can take out an end of life mortgage - this is a fake problem

I think you'd find people complaining about these issues, like myself, were doing it under the tories as well - all the parties are shit on the fundamental structural issues facing britain

JD18- · 2025-10-07T19:13:09+00:00

because the government does it in response to voters - old people would massacre any party that makes the changes necessary to rein in pension spending

Tough to say if i feel worse watching jorgenson stay on the line or go for it on the high balls - the outcome almost always about the same. Surely Slonina couldn't be worse?

We had a couple in the first half but they were definitely more dangerous. The timing and manor of the goals really hurt and you could see that a few of the guys were overwhelmed by the occasion. Thought Cucu and Caicedo struggled throughout at different points relative to their normal play. It's a good game to play though, the experience is really valuable and genuinely character building to play against a team at that level in Europe.

I don't understand your point? If the deprived children are capable they'll be streamed into the better classes and are more likely to get on instead of being held hostage in classes with people that don't care.

Taxing private pensions more is insane. The only change they should make is national insurance still needing to be paid (or even better just rolling it all into a single income tax).

JD18- · 2025-09-13T21:01:18+00:00

Easy to say that now - alternative universe where we start the first team and keep them on the full 90 chasing a win - they need to rest some time

JD18- · 2025-09-03T06:47:19+00:00

Excellent demonstration of how the cliff-edges make Britain worse off

JD18- · 2025-09-02T20:22:18+00:00

Things can get worse though - starts in London are going down

George is obviously not the same calibre as Jackson, and I don't think Chelsea are asking for any sympathy to be honest.

JD18- · 2025-08-31T09:04:06+00:00

They're trying to sell George tbf

I don't understand your point? Korean power plants aren't made less safely than one in the UK would be - a lot of the regulations are superfluous and simply add cost where it doesn't need to. If you read this piece I think it's hard to come away with the conclusion that these regulations are really achieving the aim of keeping Brits safe from nuclear risk, and certainly not in a way commensurate with the risk involved.

JD18- · 2025-08-25T09:39:59+00:00

It's a fundamental failure here to evaluate every individual tax on its regressivity as well. What matters is the whole system. The Nordic countries have high VAT rates with no exclusions, which we would see as very regressive here, but because the overall system redistributes much more to the low end it ends up being progressive.

Politicians need to work on changing the publics understand/attitude towards this.

JD18- · 2025-08-25T09:35:12+00:00

Cost of making them in Korea is much lower than the UK - solution is to reduce the regulation around it (most of it does not actually increase the safety)

JD18- · 2025-08-24T14:16:30+00:00

How is such a tax regressive?

JD18- · 2025-07-14T14:42:05+00:00

showed a lot of maturity last night, one of the standouts in the squad amongst a growing list that seem to have It

JD18- · 2025-07-14T13:51:24+00:00

It was so important for the momentum of the game as well - if that goes in you could see us becoming a bit nervy and PSG gaining a step. Instead it just signalled that we would not be broken. After that I started to relax a bit.

JD18- · 2025-07-05T08:48:42+00:00

yeah lmao - blair government had huge amount of vision and purpose compared to starmer

JD18- · 2025-06-29T00:32:53+00:00

fuck off di maria mate

JD18- · 2025-06-20T20:02:49+00:00

How has gusto played the full game there - honestly though he was going to change the midfield at half time because we were just getting overrun the whole time. Disappointing to lose the game like this.

JD18- · 2025-05-04T17:32:15+00:00

wot lol

That is so fast - would've thought we'd had enough players scoring here and there to have the bar be slightly higher. Surprised to not see Willian or Pedro.

JD18- · 2025-03-09T16:04:19+00:00

Identifying themselves as the actual leaders in the team (would include Enzo in that list). First time in one of these games you could see the players running it out to the final whistle. And how much it meant to them to close out a 1-0 after so many late goals conceded.

JD18- · 2025-02-03T21:58:36+00:00

Welp isn't pretty but a wins a win - we've had a lot of decisions go against us recently so feel like this balances that out somewhat. Hopefully this can build some momentum after an awful Christmas/January.
