Just raise income tax! Basic and higher rates!

And if you want to minimise salary sacrifice/pension dumping, bring down the 45p band to £80/90k and scrap the personal allowance withdrawal. It’ll raise more and might even be popular.

I hadn't even thought of that; how horrifying 🫣

Same, but with the occasional snap from me.

Tip: if you tap the word "Instagram" at the top of your feed, it gives you a "Following" option where it shows you a timeline with just your follows! (doesn't work on desktop) I found this out about 4 months ago - revolutionary.

I prefer the pin tbh! There's a separate charity/poppy in Scotland which kept the metal pin when England went to the plastic stem; I got Dad (who lives in Glasgow) to mail me down one for years lol. Far easier to pin than trying to get a safety pin through the right bit of the plastic/paper IME!

When I was a Girl Guide in the 1990s, the uniform had So Many Pockets - which was handy, because on Remembrance Sunday I could easily lose a poppy between our parade start and entering the church, and another before we'd reached the end of our parade after church!
I used to carry a good half-dozen 😂
