It also happens to be the manner in which the big four accountancy/professional firms are set up, so I'm sure they'll have lots of comments about the changes should it be proposed...

It would mean that less is taken off them. I agree, the withdrawal is a bad policy. Combined with the cliff edge on other benefits you create a real incentive to not earn more. Had hoped Truss would fix that in her budget, rather than just a tax cut. (Weird to have hoped that Truss did something).

If you liked slay the spire would thoroughly recommend Balatro. Very addictive, and try not to be put off if you don’t normally like poker, it’s so much more.

Oh I’m very appreciative of that fact. But it feels like one that will not last to our retirement. The optics of cutting relief for saving for your retirement just strikes as poor. A hope (and a vain one) would be they at least fix the personal allowance mess as a trade off.

The fact that Labour committed to the triple lock and then also wants to limit relief on pensions for current workers is, for my peer group at least, outrageous.
