Not one person on this bench has ever had a professional job - just political grifters its that simple #neverlabour

The electorate aren’t goldfish. Our memories are long enough to recall June 2024, when you declared that trans-identified men with penises should be able to use women’s public bathrooms. It took a Supreme Court ruling to force you to uphold women’s rights, and now you pose as our bold champion? Please.
The time for talk has long passed. This government is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to supporting women and girls.
We'll back practical action to confine misogyny to the history books - in public services, workplaces, and online.

Heads up that in the last decade, the full-time equivalent salary on the minimum wage is up 77% from £15k to £26.5k
Meanwhile both the personal allowance and the 40% tax band threshold haven't moved in seven years
In 2016 someone earning minimum wage paid just £795 of tax a year; now they pay £2,773

Back in 2010, the minimum wage was £12,064 and the 'higher earner' band started at £43,875.
You only paid 40% tax once you were earning 3.6x the minimum wage.
There was clear incentive to progress, learn and aspire for more.
As things stand, you now start paying 40% tax once you earn £50,270 which is just 1.83x the minimum wage.
If it was the same multiple as 2010, the 'higher earning' band would be £98,841 and everyone below this amount would be paying 20%.
Someone on £98,841 is effectively losing out on £9714.20 net per year if the bandings had simply moved in line with previous multiples relative to minimum wage.
This is one of the reasons why the middle class is being eroded and why there's a cost of living crisis in the UK.
An increase to £13.20p/h equates to a minimum wage of £27,456, based on a 40 hour week.
Once you factor in employers NI and basic pension contributions, the MINIMUM cost to hire a 21 year old for a company would be £31,461.
This is before you factor in any overarching business costs like office space, laptops, phone, software, training, support staff, vehicles etc.
This is going to be devastating to SME's who cant put together a simple 12 month budget without the goalposts being moved & their margins squeezed.
It'll also be catastrophic to youngsters opportunities because businesses will simply not be able to afford to hire them.
What's also incredible is that anything above £50,270 is seen as 'high earnings' in the UK and is taxed at 40%!
We are governed by financially and economically illiterate morons.
This will not end well.

They weren't found guilty of "trying to match spending" you were convicted of system-wide industrial corporate fraud that has irreversibly damaged English football.
City used fraudulent quantitative easing to inject close to £1B of disguised state cash into the system. That artificial monopoly money is exactly what triggered the hyper-inflation of player wages and transfer fees across the entire pyramid.
Football clubs, just like banks, car manufacturers, airlines, and utilities operate under strict regulatory limits. Every major multinational is restricted by how much external capital can be dumped into them by super-billionaires and hostile nation-states to protect market competition.
Dressing up systematic sports fraud as a "Robin Hood story" is absolutely laughable. Stop parroting these desperate lies to protect a multi-billion-pound scam. What you did to the game is vile.

The govt tries to control the narrative.

Now we are beginning to learn more about the BBC's hidden agenda, which I have been posting about for some time...

Another ‘conspiracy theory’ about the government’s complicity in Channel migrant crossings has come true…Home Office contractors offering THOUSANDS of pounds more to landlords to house illegal migrants. One landlord would be £32k-a-year better off if he accepted illegals. Racket
