whatever 41% of those who get benefits are in work.

WTC are used to boost wages to a ‘Living Wage’ as currently only Minimum Wage’ is statutory.

There’s a solution here somewhere….

      Kids watching the coronation concert and Prince Edward trying to dance is one of the noncyest uncomfortable things I’ve ever seen. Well worth checking. Fish out of water.

        What’s the tax free personal allowance in the UK? Something like 8 grand a year?

        Surely the solution is just to raise the income level for the 0% tax bracket (thus incentivising work), rather than taxing and giving back in a complex credits system that costs money to administer.

            bosstrabs it’s about £12k I think but yeah I agree, but with the amount of money the government are currently forking out between WTC, CoLP etc, it would just be easier to implement UBI and be done with it

              alistair sure does. I got zero tax free allowance last year.

              60% marginal rate of tax between £100k and £125k.

              What a load of shot

                  Benson can claim for a Bants Free Living Allowance, not sure he realises.

                    bosstrabs cheers Dave. Next time I need the pot plants watering I’ll give you a shout.

                      I reckon even I could prescribe a pint of stem cells from a poolside recliner.

                          This has to be one of the most ridiculous photos of the century, its 2023…really?

                            Imagine a commoner was on the menu for lunch.

                            That or roast peasant.
