One of the major effects of the QE that occurred during COVID was a huge increase in the value of assets such as equities which increased the wealth of those that owned them. Typically older people, who tend to own more financial assets than younger people, gained the most from increased...

Page 19 of the FAQ for the proposals cover all of this https://www.wealthandpolicy.com/wp/WealthTaxFinalReport_FAQ.pdf In terms of the one off nature, I think people understand that COVID was a once in a generation crisis which has left us with an exceptional situation that needs a resolution...

I don’t because this is a one off tax payable on the situation someone was is in at the time it would be introduced and to pay for a hang over from a very extreme event (e.g COVID). The one off nature of it is key here and you couldn’t do anything to avoid paying it including making a decision...

Desperate times call for desperate measures, I would be looking at a one of wealth tax similar to that proposed by the wealth commission. https://www.ukwealth.tax/ A one off wealth tax of 1% per year for 5 years on all individual net worth (assets minus debts) over £500k would raise £260...

There are studies that have shown that people with ADHD are 3 times more likely on average to abuse or be dependent upon alcohol or drugs than adults without ADHD. This is particularly the case when the ADHD is undiagnosed and/ or untreated...

I love this! Not quite there yet myself (i still beat myself up for losing the same things daily) but having put in place a lot of my own strategies think I am heading in this direction.

I saw that Fourth and Church, Palmito and Med were included in the good food guide top 100 local restaurants list. I had never heard of Med before (and can't remember it being talked about on here), has anyone been...

It might be worth getting a second opinion on that, both introverts and extroverts can have ADHD.

You have been building up to this haven’t you! If you want to know about it do some research, there is plenty out there! I’m am not going to get involved in a discussion with you when every mainstream medical, psychological, and educational organisation agreed a long time ago that these are...

I have heard this argument a lot, that we shouldn’t be labelling people. The fact is though that neurodivergent people are labelled with or without a diagnosis but without the labels are far more damaging, as a kid these can be ‘wierd’ ‘annoying’ ‘lazy’ ‘the naughty child in the class’...

No i am right handed but I did hear that left handed people are significantly more likely to be neurodivergent than right handed people and that there’s an even greater correlation with people that have hyper-mobile joints! When I was at university I ended up writing my exam papers in capital...

Have you heard of Dysgraphia? https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/conditions/dysgraphia I am the same as you, no issues on a computer but have always really struggled with writing. Filing in a form also gives me genuine anxiety and often requires a number of attempts, even writing a birthday...

Excluding other possible reasons for symptoms would be a key part of any assessment though wouldn’t it and you wouldn’t know until you had the assessment whether or not you had dyslexia or not. We had my son assessed recently as we didn’t know if his struggles in English were related to his ADHD...

I would say it’s possible that ADHD is causing you to have diet issues. My take based on experience and what I have read is that as we are low on dopamine we tend to be drawn towards activities that a high dopamine return, one of which is high in sugar/ carb foods. As I understand it dopamine...

Unfortunately I have some bad news, even a private diagnosis from a consultant based in the UK won't necessarily be recognised by the NHS! The best you can hope for is that the UK based GP that you are registered with is willing to enter in to a shared care agreement with whoever diagnosed you...

Yes I was diagnosed with severe ADHD (combined type) in 2021 and prescribed Concerta by the consultant psychiatrist who diagnosed me. I have a history of self medicating anyway and the stress that my symptoms were causing me, and those around me, on a daily basis meant that I didn’t hesitate to...

Hang on, wasn’t he ultra critical of Obama for meddling in UK politics?? Seems like a touch of double standards for him as a UK MP to now be campaigning in the US!

I suspect will be along the lines of Gordon Browns proposals for constitutional reform https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/labours-constitutional-proposals

I really don't think it has much to do with mindset, our players all play at the top level for some of the worlds biggest teams. The fact is that the Spanish team were well drilled and coached, you could see they from day 1, they had a distinct way of playing around retaining possession and...

Jurgen Klopp would be my choice, if he can be persuaded!
