happyhippy posted:Remember that celebrations pack that was dearer than if you just bought the bars separately. Has anyone ever done a thing where they compare the cost of those celebrations/heroes/whatever tins and boxes with actually just buying chocolate? It's been a long time since I had dairy, but surely they are just a clever marketing ploy that are essentially a huge rip off. Like the amount of each individually wrapped sweet is wholly disappointing, but presumably people buy them because they have established themselves as a gift thing. Edit: Oops, I've never landed a page snipe before. Can I make a joke about Prince Andrew and the number 15?

You can just look at the price sticker and it tells you the price per kg, you don't even need to do any simple division (unless Britain has somehow opted out of this in which case lol) E: lol Irish fake PM and general oval office Leo has some doubts about The Great British Breakout https://twitter.com/gavreilly/status/1367392600685174784?s=19 Failed Imagineer fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Mar 4, 2021 |

Is calling Starmer Keith a common thing now, because there's a guy on the local pollytics FB page who does it, and I don't know if it's now common or if I should be making sure that he doesn't like some deviant flavour of Monster Munch.

Apparently Prince Philip had surgery yesterday so I guess that explains all the weird gently caress ups on the BBC, just checking it was good to go in case he died under the knife.

Not to defend Annalise Dodds, but "push 1.3 million low paid workers into the tax system" is exactly the sort of disengenuous framing of freezing the personal allowance that you'd expect from the Daily Mail's political editor. Jose, when you do your twitter dumps, can you at least also post the person's bio or something? Because then it'd be more obvious when you're just spreading around the Daily Mail's editorial line

It started back when he was still the shadow Brexit secretary because of phones autocorrecting it to Keith and/or people getting the Kier/Keir thing wrong, which made the Fubpees sad and so inevitably the shitpost left jumped all over it (especially as he *kept* pretending that the fact his parents had named him after Kier Hardie was in some way relevant). Then the big-brains started the "Actually calling him Keith is basically holocaust denial" takes and the Streisand Effect did the rest. I'd be surprised if there's anyone in any political space in the UK who *isn't* calling him Keith at this point.

Nah it's only selectively used in an argument but it's not wrong in a technical nor political sense. Wage growth does take place and so people will move over the threshold, suddenly blunting the increase in their take home pay. Inflation is also occurring meaning unless there are nominal increases in the wage at least equal to that there is a real terms cut and so by fixing the level of the allowance there's a negative impact on those people earning just below the level pretty much no matter what. By fixing the allowance it shrinks the usefulness of the allowance in terms of helping the poorer earners and it's worth attacking.

It depends on the rest of the Dodds statement right I think it says a lot that I don't trust that she would have made the connection that goons have made that there are more progressive options Also, wasn't the whole point this that the new leadership were supposed to be savvy media operators who would avoid traps like this?

It's the kind of thing you hear from idiot coworkers saying that if they do overtime then they'll go into a higher tax band and end up with less take-home pay. Though in this case, I guess the idea is that if people's wages are increasing through inflation / higher minimum wage then people who weren't paying tax before then might have to. But it's going to be very small and negligible in comparison to the price increases we get from inflation which is the real paint point.

So seeing people on the left champion it as a very progressive policy that Labour should endorse is pretty jarring. Increasing it is a broad tax cut across the income range but freezing it is a way of changing the income tax base to start including some of the lowest earners. It should be increased at a rate of inflation meaningful to a regular person to stay neutral and any other changes evaluated with any other changes to the income tax or wider tax policy to examine what the impact is. The government isn't making any other changes so all this does is shift the distribution of tax payers to include some of the poorer paid. It's fine to say it's bad.

Luckily capital gains tax rates weren't changed and you can still earn an additional £12k a year tax-free that way so the poor should build out their equity portfolios and adjust their overall income mix.

Marmaduke! posted:It's the kind of thing you hear from idiot coworkers saying that if they do overtime then they'll go into a higher tax band and end up with less take-home pay. The increasing of the banding year on year does help mitigate inflation to some extent though. If you earn say £18,000 a year then generally for the past 3 years your take home pay has increased by £100-£150 a year due to band increases. Over say 2018 your take home pay will have become worth something like £300-400 less in real terms so that seems significant. Especially in a time when all companies will be blaming COVID on not giving cost of living wage rises.

https://twitter.com/ONS/status/1367407911828414466?s=20 I don't really blame them but it will be interesting how this plays out over the next few months. The rate of people breaking the rules will be way, way higher for over 60s, over 50s etc and there's no way that unvaccinated younger people are gonna stay at home if vaccinated boomers are swanning about doing whatever they like.
