When I realised that because I thought so many other people were weird, in such overwhelming numbers, that I could only conclude that they were normal and I was the weird one

1. The independent Taskforce — commissioned by NHS England, backed by government — concluded ADHD is under-diagnosed, under-recognised and under-treated in the UK. Not over. The press has reported the reverse of the finding www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

Very disappointing that World Rugby hasn’t given Trump a peace prize.

Yeah but was it livestreamed?

I am sure he won’t mind his own execution by firing squad being livestreamed either, following the post-MAGA Nuremberg trials

Nanny state issue. We should all have freedom to be born with spina bifida if we want to. Otherwise why did we even leave the EU?

Commiserations. Well yes, it could create some warped incentives around property behaviour, with some undesirable consequences

Also, pensions are in scope for IHT from April. Is there potentially an incentive for some wealthy pensioners to actually move assets out of pensions and into property, exacerbating and already squeezed housing market? (And reducing tax take for the Treasury…)

Shaun Berger @cheekyburger.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Such a daft idea. We should be enocouragung pensioners to downsize. I know pensioners who feel that stamp duty is already a barrier to moving house/ downsizing.

You can move house but you can only claim one PPR

Also interviews some people who explain why his wealth tax is a shit idea that won’t work. He doesn’t seem to be able to refute any of their criticisms, making it look like he hans’t thought it through very much. If he did have any answers he must have edited them out…

He claims the growing wealth of the richest is causing increasing poverty but doesn’t explain how. Just interviews a bunch of struggling people about how they are struggling for money.

Just watched Gary Stevenson’s documentary on inequality/wealth taxes on CHNL4. Absolute shambles of a doco. Hard to believe he wrote and directed this, as it makes him look pretty stupid.

Probably 1% of that 61% will benefit from this move (which probably will never happen)

Wrong. Account holders got their money back through the bankrupcy process. Not only that, on average they got an average of 119% of the value of their holdings at the time FTX collapsed.

That’s right. Then everyone got their money back

Anyone who stands to lose everything in one investment is a fool. Also, did anyone actually lose money in the end?

Are you out of your mind. Of course you butter both slices!Why would you want one dry slice? If you need butter on one slice, what the buggery bollocks do you thinks is happening with the other slice that qualifies it for a butter exemption?
