    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    Well now the dust has settled somewhat that's a huge tax filled budget for what seems very little gain which has gone to really upset large pockets of people. National Insurance/Minimum Wage - Will undoubtedly affect small/medium business negatively and ultimately their employees which the...

    [Technology] Printer Advice - Thermal vs Ink ?.

    Just to get away from Politics for a minute. My printer has died this week so need to replace. I mainly use it for printing eBay labels (a lot of them) so waste a lot of paper at the moment so wondering if anyone has a view on Thermal label printers vs traditional ink from a reliability/cost of...

    I get what you're saying but I politely disagree. I think everywhere is decaying sadly. If you take just our travels in Europa League Marseille was a dreadful shit hole in the main but the port area wonderful. Parts of Athens, Rome & Amsterdam the same and I think that's replicated virtually...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Interesting one. I ran my ltd company and was outside of IR35 quite legitimately but the thought of going back on payroll was something I couldn't ever consider. Yes those ltd company contractors do benefit from lower personal tax but I paid way more tax overall than if I had been under PAYE...

    I also have worked at BoE and there are an awful lot of people there just for the name on the CV and are actually rubbish at their jobs. Mark Carney was a top top bloke though.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Treasury minister James Murray - "Working people are people who go out to work for their income". That might be rather a slap in the face for an awful lot of people who work from home and/or don't need to actually go out to generate income and thus pay their fair share of tax.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    In an interview during a Commonwealth leaders' summit, the prime minister was asked whether those who work, but get additional income from assets such as shares or property, would count as working people. He replied that they "wouldn't come within my definition" Reminds me very much of a...

    Our fiscal rules are non-negotiable and will apply to every decision that a labour government takes. However we will change these rules whenever we want so that we can still apply them to every decision a labour government takes.

    Not against the rules I agree before the cabal jump on it but really not a good look to have your Head of Operations posting on social media looking for volunteers to travel to the states and campaign for Harris. Stating that you have 100 Labour staff going to the US sounds very organised and...

    [Politics] Labour Party meltdown incoming.......

    A dozen labour MP's and other minority parties asking for an "Extreme Wealth" tax. They've defined extreme wealth as £10m in assets and want a 2% tax applied, not sure if they mean annually or a one off. I assume a number are some of those currently suspended from Labour already. I also saw we...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Agreed a lot more countries there than I would have expected. Some are obviously playing both sides which shouldn't go unnoticed. I can't imagine anyone putting sanctions on India though might make them stop and think.
