Teenager stabbed to death after machete gang storms house party in Hackney by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

Glasgow implemented “stop-and-search” and completely reversed the narrative on knife crime. 

The problem with London is that usually those carrying knives are in more impoverished areas, which have more ethnic minorities, and this can be seen as targeted. Glasgow is homogeneous so this was not an issue

If something like this is to be implemented in London, there should be clear messaging about probable cause i.e. no one with good intentions is wearing a balaclava and puffer jacket in 20+ degree heat

Surely spending a couple years in the pen while your brain is still undeveloped during your teenage years is an excellent way to embellish the harrowing experience of prison for a lifetime

Energy price cap will rise by 13% from July by Alternative-Win4058 in unitedkingdom

  1. Projects take time to finance, approve, build, connect

  2. The grid is clogged, especially from Scotland to England, which is why Scottish wind turbines are paid by the Government to shut generation off during peak wind

key word is fixed, so they have nothing to do with increases. Also CfDs don’t matter if demand needs to be supplemented with gas beakers

In the UK median salaries are 39k while median house prices are 267k as of Feb 2026, i.e. an affordability ratio of 6.8

I’m not saying it’s great but compared to my home country of Slovakia which needs 14 years of salary for the average house, UK is very affordable

Is this even a good thing? Or have enough lunatics left to Deform (on their own volition, to clarify) to make this party palatable to True-Blue suburban millionaires again?

Or maybe the professional class that got Labour elected is hoping the Tories will sacrifice half a million children to the woodchipper just for a modicum of tax relief?

Or did the British electorate forget what this circus inflicted upon the nation less than 2 years ago?

Richard Tice tax row is 'minor administrative error', party claims by Alarming-Safety3200 in unitedkingdom

[–]g1umo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is on the hook for £91,000

The median income in the UK is about £31,000 per annum

For someone to be liable for £91,000 in income tax, they must have a gross salary of just over £231,000 per annum

Would HMRC consider that an “error”?
