We must make difficult and unpopular decisions

Can't you just make easy and popular ones?

Ooh, extra points for the earrings!

FFS

My fun fact is that this nail varnish shade is called Naughty Fruitcake

I *wish* I'd had that at uni...now my illness plus introversion means I need SO MUCH alone time it would be unworkable

Sexy Jess Phillips 🤣🤣

Eeeeeeee, Leone is the best!

I haven't watched Star Trek, but feel very confident saying YESS

Imagine how wholesome life could be if they were chasing the votes of the people who are enjoying pics of sumo wrestlers at tourist sites?

I'm going to just think about that for a bit.

Yep, always trying to interpret everything!

When are we getting nanobots that TELL US exactly what's wrong?!

Interesting. That makes sense in that horrible way that there's these tiny nuances that differentiate different flavours of symptoms that are hard to describe!

Thanks for taking the time x

Ooh, interesting. I don't get this one.

Would you mind describing what the symptoms are, for you, of the "too much rest" feeling?

(If you feel like expending the energy, I get it, I'm very ill too)

Oops, link for that quote researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CB...

Not that I don't agree with you - I don't think they will get rid of stamp duty. But equally I think it's important in any tax conversation that the people earning income paying income tax and NIC and buying goods paying VAT pay the vast majority of all tax. Stamp duty hits the richer > Tory policy

Everything other than the biggest 3 can easily be tinkered with: "In 2024/25, UK government raised around £1,136 billion in
receipts...Over half come from three main sources: income tax, National
Insurance contributions (NICs) and value added tax (VAT)....£649 billion" 2/3

From the obr (obr.uk/forecasts-in...): "In 2025-26 we estimate that property transaction taxes will raise £15.7 billion. This represents 1.3 per cent of all receipts and is equivalent to around £540 per household and 0.5 per cent of national income." Definitely not enough for a country collapse. 1/2

(I think they don't care which, they're just trying to keep costs down by causing infighting so they can at least *either* defund disabled people or keep the cap, if not both.)
