It’s an accident, the driver was at fault but jailed ? I’d jail the driver of the Silver MPV taxi ? for not stopping and showing absolute disregard for the person lying on ground in front of them.

Would you rather she liquidated the business and let the employees sign up for universal credit? Branson never even furloughed his staff, he laid them off without pay. How many staff do you have ? Have you furloughed any ?
As a Conservative councillor & multiple business owner building a business exporting worldwide, Taxation on Aspiration & Business in the UK is a massive incentive to relocate the business outside of the UK! Get a grip

Did you actually read the article ? “BP said it had incurred total taxes of $15bn worldwide – its highest annual total. In the North Sea, which it said accounts for less than 10% of global profits, it will pay $2.2bn in tax for 2022, including $700m because of UK windfall taxes.”

Yep all those millions of pensioners (privileged few) whose pensions are invested in stocks and shares will be confident they will get paid, seriously, following you makes me realise that unfortunately anyone can become an MP. 😹

Oh so you ending the tax break the government gets when parents don’t draw down on the state provision saving the state £100k per child.
Presume any parent who doesn’t take the state benefit will now get compensated.

It appears democracy is dead both nationally and in the Conservative Party. Think serious consequences and change are inevitable. Time for the members and public to make their feelings very clear. We have gone far to far in appeasing a minority against the electorate in many many

For those in rural areas in older homes without access to mains gas or three phase infrastructure this potential ban is massively damaging and will have a negligible effect on net zero. Heat pumps are absolutely useless for heating larger old

@AlStewartOBE
Which policies are you referring to the energy support, Covid help or perhaps the huge rise in the personal tax allowance ?
We blew close to £400bn on Covid to little effect, yet want to curtail a fraction of that investment in HS2 which is already bringing huge benefits to the economy and jobs. Typical response from those with decent transport in the south. I’m sure

And lose loads of money when parents who are currently subsidising the state from paying for their child’s education put them back into the state sector due to affordability. No way this will raise any money !

Depends on make/model you buy and what your needs are.
Most people only need to charge at home, then off peak charging they are paying 7.5p per kw/hr and therefore approx 2p per mile for equivalent fuel cost. A huge amount less than petrol/diesel equivalent.

Tax system in UK is a total joke… needs a simple flat rate, collection would most likely increase and it would stimulate growth and reduce the huge bureaucracy and complexity of our tax system.
