Thoroughly despise those who avoid paying tax in the UK but have a disproportionate input into the narrative.

Once had potential
#SkyPapers had me questioning if I’d missed something as they opined that Reeves & Starmer were responsible for distrust in politics

Was good to see Starmer pushing back at Mason 3 times on the 10

It kept being rejected by the Lords & couldn’t bounce between the two houses indefinitely as other aspects of the bill have specific dates for implementation

This deal is like the Treaty of Versailles reparations imposed on Germany post 1919 which were subsequently deemed too harsh! Outrageous to demand similar terms from the victims of Putin’s aggression.

Wish I’d gone to the gig at Bristol Beacon even more now! Damn having to replace the heating pump 🤘🏻

This is like the reparations the world made Germany sign up to after the Great War except it’s being foisted on the victim rather than the aggressor!

If Harborne lives in Thailand, what’s his mechanism for not breaking the law on foreign donations? UK registered businesses?

Legislation needed to stop crypto political donations.

Well, as Lee Anderson said at today’s PMQs

Congratulations on your success!!

Exactly. My point is that this is likely to be a performative more bark than bite policy in practice.I doubt very much that there’ll be resources to quibble over the value (sentimental or cash)far less have someone stuffing envelopes to send to Cash4Gold!

Not sure they will walk back BUT the practicalities will likely make the reality different as in Denmark. Their law states jewellery >€1500 - are we going to employ a valuation jeweller to police that? And not for items with sentimental value- who can judge that except the owner?
