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'm out.

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.

A landlord then ought to qualify as a working person?

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.

Shattered Dreams - Featuring Allen Toussaint actually! (unnecessary emoji).

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...

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...

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.

Asparagus, I absolutely adore it and it does make my wee smell funny which is a great side benefit.

Fabulous stuff. Just hope Danny is OK.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79npj3eqdlo - Freezing tax thresholds is apparently not a tax rise on working people. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx25d97jy7po - Lammy in China but virtually no media, no announcements. Not sure I trust that buffoon with a very dangerous adversary.

Sinwar possibly dead, a massive event but which way will it go?. BBC was saying that it's possible a more moderate could take over and pave the way for a peace deal or will we see Iran interfering and another hardliner stepping up ?.

Can't believe that 6th wicket required a review, plumb all day long. Really disappointing to see huge swathes of empty seats unless I'm missing a reason ?.

There may be trouble ahead....... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0r8e421y5po - Rayner protesting about cuts to her dept. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c39lmnvdzxgo - I'm sure even Stevie Wonder could have seen the rest of the rail staff hanging on the coat tails of the previous...

Hmmmm, It's the Guardian so probably completely made up and fascist (To parody our usual suspects who would decry the same article in the Mail).
