My son is 31. He sometimes complains about his marginal rate of tax particularly as he is a higher rate tax payer but just seems to accept it is what it is.

Don't these idiots realise this is a war zone?

Just watched the water pollution programme on Channel 4. Neglect of the water system all predicted when Thatcher pushed through privatisation.

Another privatisation failure.

BREAKING: β€œWe need to act with clarity, with purpose and with a cool head.. what I was not prepared to do on Saturday was for the UK to join a war unless I was satisfied there was a lawful basis and a viable thought through plan. That remains my position

Excellent.
Completely the correct response.

Just used the online consult your GP thing.
Received a message back from a receptionist saying my referral has been deemed non urgent and therefore no one will look at it until 11 March when a " clinician" will review it.

According to the Daily Mail US officials are surprised by the Iranian response. What did they think was going to happen? Clearly haven’t done a risk assessment.
Well done Starmer for keeping some distance

I don’t know a single person who thinks we should get involved in this.

The number of brits who approve is probably less.
At the car wash today an elderly man completely unknown to us came over to tell us how unhappy he was with the bombing of Iran.

Our car was so mucky the man doing the valet asked for more money. We blamed the grandchildren when in fact it was my husband going to and from the allotment.

This is apparently progress from our local GP practice.
Admin staff will decide who will get to see a dr.
What could possibly go wrong?

Having worked with children for over 30 years there is significant evidence that many can make responsible decisions before age 16.
Think Gillick.

Why 16?
My very sensible 14 year old granddaughter asks why she is being treated in the same way as a 10 year old?

The Government is trying to avoid upsetting Musk etc.

Chris Mason is one of the worst. Unable to report anything without identifying it as a major problem for the Government.
Afraid we mute him now.

I really don’t agree with this.
Regulate properly.

Why are the names of those who sent these emails to Epstein redacted?

Can you imagine the frustration of experienced Council staff having to work with this ignorant young man?

As a former manager of LA Fostering Services we were constantly being told by some senior managers that the private sector were better.
Zero evidence and it was very apparent which way this was going.

Union founder slams private equity milking foster care for profit Private equity firms, milking the foster care sector dry, have doubled the cost of local placements β€” meanwhile, UK taxpayers foot the bill

Union founder slams private equity milking UK foster care for profit.

Privatised foster placements can cost double the local authority placing.

Successive govts have pushed privatisation.

Children in need treated as commodities for profits.
