That’s not entirely true. From the BBC
“The government believes the majority of funding for a pay offer for train drivers will come from train operating company budgets.
Ministers intend to set out where the rest of the money will come from at the Budget in October.
It is understood ministers...
People here are quoting science, experts, statisticians (probability being a statistical construct). Coincidence is just that - coincidence, and isn’t evidence. The jury were presented with selected evidence.
It’s just not a good look though, is it? Let’s give train drivers £9,000 and take £300 off pensioners.
I would imagine it could get quite interesting on here after the budget if some of the stuff that’s not being denied happens. How could they justify stopping the single persons council tax...
There seems to be enough reasonable doubt that a review / retrial should be undertaken.
We aren’t looking for holes, we are discussing holes which people far more qualified than you or I have identified.
IF she isn’t guilty then the shame falls on those who have allowed the real reasons to be...
Why not include 2024. BSP up to £8,814 since triple lock, 57.8%
Train drivers up to £69,000, 53.4 %.
Value of the percentage difference to pensioners £387. Which the majority have just lost most of.
I don’t suppose train drivers calorie requirements are all that high either.
So the state pension will rise more than junior doctors pay or train drivers?
I have shown where next years increase has gone, leaving pensioners worse off.
Which Labour opposed saying it would lead to 4,000 deaths - not all grannies. That obviously didn't predict the phenomenal increase in fuel costs which will only make matters worse. God knows what the impact will be if single person Council Tax discount is stopped - I have "walked you...
The top 10% of earners already pay over 60% of income tax. The problem is that the small proportion of rich people you refer to is very small and stripping them of their wealth wouldn’t touch the sides. I guess that depends on your definition of rich / wealthy.
You are spot on about the tax...
Presumably at some point you will reap the benefit of your choice to undertake post graduate study. You are clearly not bone idle, it’s the fuckers that are that are making me increasingly angry. Alongside those elements of society who support the internet geniuses you mention.
Working hard is probably the reason why most people have built up savings but not everyone who has worked hard will have savings.
People who have not worked hard probably won’t have savings, the vast majority of people who haven’t worked at all won’t have savings either.
