And even when I was at that school a long time ago it was leaky and needed replacing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says this is as a result of extra costs incurred during the pandemic - including purchase of PPE and business support." Er, wouldn't there have been no deficit without the Liverpool Terminal overspend in that case? Coronavirus' fault, of course. No because I believe the deficit does not include capital expenditure. Capital expenditure I believe is charged back over a period related to the life of the asset. The Treasury also used to assess a nominal borrowing fee. Effectively you therefore only get a proportion of the capital cost included in the annual budget surplus or deficit calculation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be £50 per year better off next year due to the increase in personal allowance. That'll pay for a couple of days gas🤔 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She appears to stick up for the GMP but at the same time also supports massive wastes like the horse trams.

That is nearly 30k before tax is paid. I suspect few pensioners will be paying any at all. The UK has a freeze on increases. I was just really surprised to see an increase at the current time.

Horse trams operate in her constituency & she of course supports them as well as local hotels and guest houses Whether there is any point to limited journeys on them is perhaps worthy of debate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing to take low to earners out of the taxation system State pensions facing huge living cost increases should have a more generous increase 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
