How do you even spend £1841 in the Norwich club shop, unless they sell Delia branded cookware now?
And two trips to the hairdressers for £4000 - did that include flights on a private jet to the salon?
Have you seen the price of replica football kits?!

I hate to be pedantic, but our economy has been predicted to crash and burn ever since we voted for it nearly 3 years ago, and as a result it started crashing and burning about 20 months ago. This is certainly increasing the intensity, but it is what we voted for and can't really come as a surprise, can it
I think what they’ve done today is beyond ridiculous. None of Truss’s immediate predecessors have decided to borrow vast amounts of money to give it away to people who don’t need any more. And what the housing market will do with the changes, who knows.
Trickle down economics does not work. Giving loads of money to those already have loads, it will just get squirrelled away to make more money. If they were helping those who need most help the money would be spent in the local economy on things like food and other unnecessary luxuries - clothes, shoes……
And to be genuinely pedantic you say it’s what we voted for. I guess it’s the collective we, but I certainly did not vote for either Brexit or the current shower in government.

Blimey I hope you have never given out any clues to people on here what firm of IFA's you're involved in. You could loose a lot of business from the 'little people' who just want advice on their pension. You won't be employing 2 extra people if everyone with any morals uses a different company to the one you've tried to mention on here before! More chance of me meeting the queen than you taking on 2 more members of staff due to the mini budj...... oh!

I’ve personally worked with large Sussex based firms of IFA’s.
Their clients are never ‘little people’ or the man on the street. There’s immense wealth in Brighton, Hove and wider Sussex. The average BTL landlord owns 7 let properties, there are 10,000’s folk with the best part of £1m or far more in funds with wealth managers (IFA’s). Many are stinking rich pensioners, think of all the vast homes in the city and county. People write huge cheques to settle their kids student loans, or pay their kids school fees years in advance or gift £300k as a deposit to get their son or daughter on the property ladder.
It’s a different world, far detached from Sussex’s Joe Public.
Ironically, both [MENTION=12697]Steve Foster[/MENTION] and [MENTION=396]WATFORD zero[/MENTION] live in that elite wealthy category

Some 'little' people do actually need advice from IFA's though. I was trying to be subtle & suggest that some IFA's are only in it for the commission & couldn't care anything about the persons financial wellbeing. Not suggesting that the poster I quoted is someone who just cares about commission but he does come across as someone who talks a load of rubbish! As someone who has worked in a small actual 'independent' FA's office, I shall apply for one of his newly established 2 jobs. I don't have my FPC's but something tells me I wont actually need them!

It's probably more powerful to have right of centre individuals analysing the policies than left wing ones.
That's the new politics from Brexit to trickle down economics. They are a result of a split in the Conservative Party or rather a takeover by disaster capitalist wing who have taken advantage of a policy vacuum on both sides of the house.
Genuinely not sure who loses their job first now, Truss or Southgate

I don't care what is more powerful. I care that a once independent broadcaster is becoming a voice for a minority view and for none of the rest of us.

There are IFA’s and IFA’s. A trend of the last 20 years is to pile into the highly regulated but even more lucrative area of wealth management.
Through marketing and word of mouth, build a few hundred folk with say £800k each in ISA’s/SIPP’s. 500 x £800k x a 1% or 1.25% AMC = guaranteed annual income of £4m or £5m before salaries, PII, platform costs and overheads. I’ve seen exactly that. Guaranteed come rain, shine or choice of average/dog funds. Augmented by other fees and commission.
Those firms weren’t particularly interested in the bloke with pensions worth £80k or wanting to buy their first flat.
The wealth disparity in Sussex is vast, I don’t think people realise.

That's the problem broadcasters have though, no-one is sure what balance and constructive debate is any more.
Also, the opposition are often playing a game of we are better off not turning up. The same game the Government have played.
Don't the blame the broadcasters, blame the media savvy politicians or actually their media savvy advisors.
Ever wondered why Andrew Bridgen turns up on the media ?
I have just sorted some IFA help, thanks to a kindly correspondent on...NSC!...but I'm wondering now whether I shouldn't have (sorry, 'of' - forgetting my working class routes) asked for your advice

The idea that any BBC news flagship programme is presenting a pro gov agenda suggesting a wider bias is laughable. Giving a voice to people who you don't agree with/ have an altetnative view is a public service .. less of the pearl clutching petal.

A £800k final salary scheme pot including a £200k tax free lump sum.
Call yourself a Trotskyite

As referenced about, this story is starting to bubble up.

What exactly was the foreign office doing spending £4,333 on two trips to the hair dressers and £1,841 at the Norwich Club Shop ?
Maybe she bought Alex Pritchard? About the right value these days.
