Liberal politics. Despise right wing populism but also worried about the rise of left wing populism. Not against genuine well thought out views that I disagree with.
Also, we named the dog Indiana!

Marginal rates
Basic rate
PAYE 25%
SE - 25% - 31%
Higher rate
PAYE - 42%
SE 46% - 50%
And that’s not including all the little freebies employees get like equipment, training, software etc…

Pretty sure the marginal rates of tax are broadly in line with PAYE too…

If I’m honest, I don’t want anyone to experience this, but if it’s the only way to get empathy and morality back for this then so be it!

Since I started seeing the reviews of this 24 hours ago I’ve gone from thinking this would be the car crash film of the year to being genuinely excited about seeing it!

I've been recently diagnosed with autism, and I can confirm whilst we can come over as not having a filter which may annoy people, it does not cause the same sociopathic behaviour as Gregg Wallace is displaying!

A good way to generate tax revenue would be to charge income tax on employees computer equipment, training, business travel etc… and/or make employees pay for it out of their own pockets (it would generate £1000s)! What do you mean it doesn’t sound fair? Well that’s exactly what Inside IR35 is…

For the first time in a while I went to London for a few days last month and the air was way my pleasant that it has been in the past

Don’t get me wrong, the cut off was way too low when they first did it. But not all pensioners are frail. Many are part of the richest cohort to retire. The WFP is for those in need it’s not a lifestyle supplement.

In terms of total tax paid you’d be wrong there. (and there’s a whole different story about HMRC’s attitude there). I know we’re in a era of horrific right wing populism but it doesn’t mean we should hit left wing populism
