You can get one on HMRC government gateway I think. I tried to look and couldn’t get past security though
Would be nice to have some sort of breakdown of where every penny of our taxes go. I know there's a bit of one with Council Tax but in terms of all the other taxes.
I'd be much more inclined to pay more if they said I'd be supporting Sharon and Mark the nurses.
It doesn't, but again in the re-balancing, it has to be spelled out that paying more taxes can often save people money, too. Some of the 'soft' areas for example, such as social work. Get youths occupied and valued with some proper schemes, they're less likely to break into your house or nick your car for a joyride, so therefore your insurance comes down as a result.
But somebody has to pay for those schemes!
I'm never likely to get to £80k, unlike Keiran, because I dared to get a PhD in a non-sexy / non-business subjectI think there’s a bit of a scam going on though where the people who would actually be worse off pretend it’s about the every day people. I’m sure I saw somewhere that most people are net takers from the state below something like £25k. Then you get that bloke on £80k whining about paying £15/mo more so we can pay nurses or offer free education.
Honestly my disposable income goes on entertainment and food delivery. Please take it for public services!

Maybe, however, that's why they earn more in the first place, because they're more motivated by money than I am!

I pay more tax than my NHS worker GF earns each month.

The regionale trains aren’t great but they’re a fraction of a cost of the UK and generally on time.When we were in Italy over Easter it was a mixed bag but on the whole the high speed rail in particular was fantastic, frequent and as we booked in advance the prices were very good value.
Look here for how we still can’t get one high speed line built despite ploughing in tens of billions.
For us we got to go with our own cabinetto first class from Bologna to Rome in 2 hours for around €20 each. Then also got business class Rome to Naples in just over an hour, even cheaper.The regionale trains aren’t great but they’re a fraction of a cost of the UK and generally on time.
The high speed trains are superior to those in the UK and probably around half the price. I got down to Napoli (5 hour journey) for €120 return travelling in Business class - imagine that in the UK.

I did not know this but just had a look and you're right!
Bit depressing seeing how much money I contributed to paying off national debt interest.
I went on one in Romania, about a fiver for 3 hours. Comfy seat with plug socket.The regionale trains aren’t great but they’re a fraction of a cost of the UK and generally on time.

Isolationary trends have always been a negative to what are in the main social human beings .I think the internet also has a part to play in the lack of community in general now too. Sometimes a good thing, sometimes a bad thing.
Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t train drivers have their own trade union? So not the RMT.Oh dear

Remember when there was loads of posts on here saying one of the reasons Labour was doing so badly was that they treated voters like idiotsAre they just stupid or do they think everyone else is?
The brass balls of someone to say to a prospective voter that the business they are an expert in and his lived experience is wrong in a bbc programme. Wow. Truly the age of experts is deadRemember when there was loads of posts on here saying one of the reasons Labour was doing so badly was that they treated voters like idiots
I never thought I'd find myself defending Rees-Mogg(!) but he was defending the government's position on specifics, namely focussing on an Australia deal, and taxation causing issues rather than Brexit. Now, he studiously avoided the issues with trading with the EU and its complexities, but his answer was nothing I wouldn't expect a politician to do - focus on the things that make it look better.The brass balls of someone to say to a prospective voter that the business they are an expert in and his lived experience is wrong in a bbc programme.
