Cap on bankers' bonuses to be scrapped
The plan is part of a post-Brexit shake-up of City rules, the regulators have confirmed.

It's actually the FCA that has lifted the cap on bankers' bonuses, although the government have been trying to force the issue for a while. Lots of stories of real-term pay rises (ie pay above inflation). It's worth flagging up that this has been driven by pay in finance. The public sector, meanwhile, continues to be subjected to real-term pay cuts, as it has for, oh, about 13 years.
My understanding is that it was a Liz Truss policy and Sunak has decided not to scrap it.
Although the FCA facilitates the logistics of lifting the cap, the decision is made by the government.

Yes, I think you're right on this (and I'm wrong) based on the 14.27 entry in The Guardian in this:
UK decision to scrap caps on bankers’ bonuses condemned as ‘obscene decision’ by union – business live
The number of unemployed grew by 82,000 in the three months to August

Another Brexit benefit making headlines today: dodgy eggs from poorly looked after poultry

A recent report showed that a large salmonella outbreak earlier this year was linked to Polish eggs. Concern has also been raised that post-Brexit trade deals could lead to a further decline in quality as low-welfare eggs from caged hens enter the UK.

Wrong type of snow? Wrong sort of leaves? No.
The floods were brought about by the wrong direction of the wind.

I would ask who votes for these idiots, but people listen to this nonsense and this it's the news and truth. They're the idiots.

As a woman, this is horrendous from the Telegraph! I know it's Allison Pearson but this is bat crazy even from her!
Torynomics:
Huge pay rises and bonuses for CEOs and Bankers are "deserved, necessary and a reward for hard work."
Any pay rises for ordinary working people are "greedy, inflationary, and will price them out of work."

No no no, I'm sure the bankers bonuses will trickle down to the rest of us. This time it'll definitely work.

Hartlepool MP Jill Mortimer office takes no walk-ins
The MP who claimed her office was ‘besieged’ by asylum seekers makes constituents pre-book appointments and doesn't actually accept walk-ins.

It's as if they think fact checkers don't exist. Or more accurately, they simply think facts do not exist.

The comments under that article are awful. Apparently the organisation Hope not Hate is an extreme left wing communist group, and the RNLI are taxi drivers for immigrants.Hartlepool MP Jill Mortimer office takes no walk-ins
