Tax for bankers cut from 8% to 3% on profits over £25m. That’s a loss of £1bn a year in tax revenue.

That's not strictly true from what I remember. Seem to recall there were a lot of people calling for NHS workers to be given priority access to vaccines and testing to ensure the safety of patients. Lets be honest here the u-turn hasn't been made on any scientific basis its been made as the...

“This failure occurred on his watch and was therefore, ultimately, his responsibility” possibly not the best thing for the Conservatives to be pushing at the moment given what's gone on under Johnsons watch.

Deaths are the highest they've been in a year. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newslondon/covid-deaths-climb-to-534-in-deadliest-daily-figure-in-11-months/ar-AATpaiV In no doubt completely unrelated news:

Saw a post on the local Facebook group that since the government dropped masks in schools cases have gone through the roof which has led to increased absence and as a result masks are being re-introduced. Nobody could have possibly predicted that. Quick google suggests they are far from the...

My neighbour has decided that instead of having his Amazon deliveries made on a day that he's home, or to his parents or grandparents that both live in the same street, he will instead have them all delivered when he's not in and tell the driver to leave them at my house. One or two, no problem...

I'm not Starmer's biggest fan but that was a decent performance. As ever the problem is not enough people pay attention to things like PMQs so you are reliant that the soundbites that make it to the mainstream media are representative of what those who watch PMQs have actually seen. Think the...

In an emergency nobody is going to check if the person treating you is jabbed or not, that's a ridiculous suggestion. You would act the same as people do now, you'd trust that the appropriate regulations are in place to minimise any risk to you.

Heading for an exciting finish in the U19s World Cup semi. Afghanistan need 43 from the last 4 overs left. 4 wickets left. Fingers crossed England make it to the final.

The paying inflated prices one is bad on two fronts, bad enough that they were dishing out contracts to their mates but even if you justify that as an emergency situation the pandemic planning exercise they did a few years ago highlight a lack of PPE and should therefore have been sorted at that...

And the last time we played them they beat us 4-0 and hardly broke a sweat.

On the news over the weekend they said the PL were speaking with the relevant authorities about what can be done regarding the increase in anti social behaviour and crowd trouble. The blame was laid squarely on cocaine use.

He must have come back into it as the news said he left in 2019. I haven't watched EastEnders in decades and I'm pretty sure he'd already left when I stopped watching. 95 so he was still working into his 90s.

Wasn't really paying attention so might have got this wrong but I think they've said on CWR that the company the council have engaged to carry out the bin collections aren't licensed or insured for kerbside collections. Would be about par for the course with the council if they've managed to...

That last over pretty much sums up the winter.

Wish I hadn’t clicked to see why he was trending on Twitter.

You absolutely could do that hence me putting it in my post but I'm not convinced that is what people calling for a priority scheme are after. I suspect most people asking for the current system to be changed are looking for something that will benefit their circumstances. In particular there...

Every week events go on sale that have more demand than there is tickets available. First come, first served works for them. Sure some people are disappointed but at least there aren't never ending arguments about a priority system and who 'deserves' the tickets. Think this could be a case of...

That makes it sound like they've been paid $30m upfront, would be very surprised if that is the case. More likely there are specified amounts dependent on content being delivered so if they haven't produced the content they won't have got the money.
