There are about 37 million jobs in the UK. Out of the 5 million claimants, 2.5 millions are sick or severely disabled,. Only 1.4 million are jobseekers like yourself. The rest are in work but don't earn enough.

those two should look more carefully in the mirror. They are the boss, they should have done something if that's really the case.

In a country where people don't walk unless they are dirt poor immigrants, that project was well ahead of its time because most of their cars weren't and still aren't electric. That was the simple reason. I take it that you watched the video, the guy said nearly as much, they have got the...

14 years of rationing then covid has created an 8 million sick people queue. It's now down to starmer to get those with broadest shoulder to pay for the missing spend in those 14 years.

it's like a train stuck on a line. You have to get people out of the train and get them to walk the line until they can join a road. You can then tow the dead train. There is no other way to reverse the decline than reducing the queue of people waiting for treatment then you can start on a new...

The role of civil servants is typically to ensure that their political bosses don't break the law and to prepare the facts and figures. I am talking about those who work for central government in Whitehall. The graduate fast track system is very selective. Only the best will pass the entrance...

It's about 10 years before the right time, mainly because the personal cars are still needed and they are not all electric yet.

More and more of us live alone. Cooking for one is harder than for 2. You need planning.

If I am not mistaken, there is an acceptable time lapse between you vacating the house before you put on sale and the time it is sold, somrthing like 3 years away from home and automatic 9 months for the sale.

There is a need to avoid food waste and check the price before you buy but no need to skim on food because if you cook reasonably well, you can make tasty meals like roast pork or chicken, macaroni cheese with mushrooms etc for very little.

.. we have to vote with our feet for better quality produce instead of Aldi price match.

I don't make enough to plan anything. Can you see clarkson fixing a bike? Or a PC? That's what I still do most days.

I only made the point about his protesting has nothing to do with this inheritance tax is killing farming but rather self serving. I watch a few times the life of young farmers on the BBC. If people like him stop splashing their cash buying up the best farms and pushing prices up, the young...

It's the 'they are not going to get my money after I die'. What if everyone behaves the same way? What if the same family conserves their wealth generation after generation like the royal family? What if nobody wants to pay tax?

It's the continuation of British class system. Clarkson doesn't want to pay tax after he dies. I reckon his children will inherit more than 95% of us, so 1 mil tax free, then normal allowances then 20% on the rest seems more than fair to me compared to zero concessions and 40% standard IHT.

Mr Clarkson told The Sun: “I will be there, despite having letters from doctors telling me not to go on the march and saying I must avoid stress.” The Cotswolds farm owner added: “We have got two coaches of farmers from around here who are leaving from Diddly Squat. It is a hugely important...

At present, we do have an unofficial two tier health system. If you can pay for your treatment, you'll go to the bottom of the queue because most often, your condition is not life threatening. You'll then be told gently and repeatedly that there is the private option. That's de facto the case...

the solution is surely to make a career in farming more attractive? Taxation is to redistribute resources, if you take some money from the 500 richest farmers to spend on improving the working life of 100,000 farmers then what's wrong with that?

Farms (also family businesses) get the first £1mil tax free. The rest gets reliefs. In case of a farm, grazing land, the farm house, farm shop etc. In practice, farms up to £2 mils in value will be passed on practically tax free. The excess is charged at 20%. The number of farms likely to be...

Let's be serious. How much do you think Clarkson rakes in a year? Can you see him reduce his own standard of living because Rachel Reeves put up the employer's contribution by 1.5%? I can see that those in hospitality sector may hesitate whether to get out or reduce staffing but those farmers...
