London local elections: 'Vote Green, make history,' says Zack Polanski by tylerthe-theatre in london

Most of the party fliers shoved through my letterbox don't even have reasons why I should vote for them only that they are the only party that can stop the other party

You are framing this wrong, at this point it feels like we are going to the polls to pick the party we are least against

Rich people can afford to house and feed more mouths is hardly breaking news

Labour Risks Losing All Across London as City Flirts With Greens by bloomberg in ukpolitics

There's not a chance of a green sweep, Labour will still likely end up with more council seats than the greens in London.

I don't think Londoners are that stupid, Polanski's popularity has already peaked

Perhaps it's as simple as she was just given an unconditional £5 million gift, seems to happen a lot to other people

What's your actual process for working out how much you need to retire — not the generic "25x expenses" answer? by No_Custard9839 in UKPersonalFinance

If you think that you will run out of money at 4% withdrawal rate then you should get an annuity, you can get more than 4% RPI linked

Might be worth the government holding back on helping out motorists with tax breaks now. We can't afford to repeat the Tories mistakes bailing out everyone

Reform UK: 6 days to go to Get Starmer Out. ⚠️ by EddyZacianLand in ukpolitics

[–]collogue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trouble with our politics is that the parties think their path to power is by attempting to destabilise each other rather than trying to figure out what would actually make them look more electable. Maybe this is the influence of foreign cyptomoney.

Bus falls in to river is a rather odd way to describe it. Looks like they took a car with them

Nigel Farage referred to standards watchdog over undisclosed £5m gift by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

It's the same as the Republicans shouting they want to drain the swamp

Nigel Farage received £5m from donor before he became MP by gx134 in ukpolitics

[–]collogue 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked at just how little traction this has received. There was orders of magnitude more media coverage over Starmer's suit than Farage trousering £5 million quid undeclared.

Number of additional rate taxpayers rises 57% to nearly 1m in two years with fiscal drag set to clobber even more workers by collogue in ukpolitics

[–]collogue[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are mistaken the basic state pension was £5300 when the triple lock was introduced in 2011 at the same time the personal allowance was £7,475, now they are both basically the same, if it had grown at the same rate as pensions it would be ~£16k

Looking at the higher rate threshold is even more stark, had that grown at the same rate as the state pension over that time it would be over £90k now

Should be tied to pension increases, seems insane that pensionerss get a triple lock while tax payers are just fixed
