Re: politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » It takes a nation of millions to hold us back
The problem isn't so much those immediately losing their homes, but the much larger number of people who will see their house drop in value and have to deal with a lot of negatives of the new work. For example, my uncle a few years ago bought a house in Hertfordshire on a quiet street overlooking a green belt field with… -

Has this been mentioned: Income tax on overtime above a 40-hour week should be scrapped for workers earning less than £75,000, Reform UK has said. The party estimates what it is calling a "hard work bonus" would save a full time nurse working six hours of overtime each week more than £1,300 a year. Reform said the policy… -

But it's one to watch. Some of the incomers are boat-people from subsaharan africa via north africa. Typically employed illegally at €2… -

Re: The Reform paradox, being the country’s most popular and unpopular party – politicalbetting.com
The article quoted overdoes it a little. Different terms and rights for different categories of accommodation have always been in place. For PRS landlords this has been in place in Scotland for some years, and I am not aware that it has been a major problem. One of our North British could perhaps advise. In England "new… -

Re: Angela’s ambitions in ashes? – politicalbetting.com
I have been consistent over the last 24 hours that she should have at least relinquished the housing brief. Anyway, my whataboutery is just as valid as Tory whataboutery. The biggest scandal is that Rayner's ineptitude has kept Farage's trainwreck in DC off the news. Farage is a lucky General. -

One of the reasons I was cautiously optimistic for a Labour government was the house building pledge, which could only really be delivered by a simplification of the planning system which I hoped would ease the way to further reform to simplify development. That simply hasn’t been the case and a massive opportunity has… -

Re: Undefined discussion subject.
They're not interested in reading the judgment. They're not even clear about what they're upset about. Are they upset that this is a move against Brexit? Since the entire argument of the government was that this was not about Brexit, that seems distinctly odd. Are they upset that Parliamentary sovereignty has been… -
