100k, my heart bleeds....shouldn't have taken that mortgage on their second home!
Hopefully they won't need to start using the bus!
Edit...oh and Shell just helped their ISA and pension out so......
Also, in the long run, meaningful social change will only come when the middle classes get to feel some pain too. They have been holding the keys to the prison for too long as it is. [Post edited 3 Feb 2022 11:55]

Indeed. If your income is £100k you are unlikely to have a mortgage and a second home. | | | |

The noisy "hear, hear" shows that the mp's know all too well who butters their bread. | |

But you might well have one in the bag and a mortgaged one being paid for by your poorer tenants....well, the pension don't you know, but what can you do! [Post edited 3 Feb 2022 12:13]

For sure people who are on the breadline or close to it are going to feel it worse, but I'm not sure the middle classes are to blame. I earn around the mark in the tweet so I'm going to be a bit battered by some of this whilst trying to support my partner through University.
Meanwhile the actually rich and especially the ultra-rich get off incredibly lightly. [Post edited 3 Feb 2022 12:00]

As per usual.
Not sure that taking money from local services will do any of us any good. | |

NI wouldn’t even be on the table if we had a more grownup understanding of higher taxes and the advantages they bring.
Instead we have some silly neoliberal trickledown version where low income tax and low corporation tax is meant to stimulate growth in the economy and a higher take overall.
Except it doesn’t and the UK’s tax take and spending as a percentage of GDP is too low as a result. Not to mention if low taxation is an incentive to drive the economy then our disturbingly low productivity seems to argue against that. It’s just an incentive to accumulate asset wealth instead and ultimately produce less. |  |

Or, to put it another way, the retired tory voters of Middle England get a Council Tax rebate just ahead of the local govt elections. They are, of course, those most likely to vote in local elections.
That rebate is in effect being paid for by the hike in NI, which is paid by people who are of working age.
You may think this stinks. Or you may think it's an attempt by boris to improve the local election results and save his own skin.
Whichever of those two options you think, VOTE IN THE LOCAL ELECTIONS IN MAY, JUST DON'T VOTE TORY. |  |

Not forgetting the fact that those authorizing the buy back will see their own shares increase in price. |  |

Maybe second home in Burnley. |  |
