Mansion tax will be paid by less than 1 in 200 homes.
145k out of 30.4m homes.
For every home that will pay something under the new tax, 199 won't.
It's a tax on the 0.5% and 99.5% of us will not pay it.

My take on this week for Leeds United is if we get no points, score no goals,and concede 10 or more then Farke goes.
If however we keep the goals conceded down to 7 or 8 score 2 or three and get a point or more then he and Leeds are in with a chance.. #lufc

#PAOTY the judges come up trumps with three cracking portraits to go into the final with Katie, Lauren and Chloe. Bodes well for the commission

Taxing sugary drinks is a win win. Makes manufacturers reduce sugar or consumers switch to less over sweet drinks OR generates some money to be used to deal with the effect of our dietary indiscretions.

Everyone talking about Farage racism like it’s a bad thing (it very much is!) fails completely to grasp that this is the very thing that makes him attractive to Reform voters. So stop the fake horror it just plays into his schtick..

An observation about #lufc this season.
We can match teams like Fulham Bournemouth Tottenham & Villa until they bring on their £40 £50 million subs after about 50 mins and we just don’t have a sub bench worth talking about - you need to stay in the premiership for two years to get one of them!

#TurnerPrize shortlists was a good exhibition at Cartwright Hall Bradford. Zadie Xa was the best for me but probably the judges will go for Nnena Kalu as Turner like the wacky.. #Arts #art

Had two dental implants fitted today. So it’s a long drawn out course of treatment, up to six months. Lots of discomfort and pain but mainly ridiculously expensive!! (£7k)
Had to have it done as one was a front tooth so hopefully I’ll think it was worth it.

So all week I’ve been resigned to #lufc getting stuffed by Villa… but come match day I catch myself thinking, if Farke starts James he’s bound to create chances even our strikers can’t miss so maybe..just maybe we will win. It’s that hope that does you isn’t it.
