Politicians spout bull. Rebecca Long-Bailey was on Politics Live today where this was also discussed. According to her, those who bought their houses through right to buy then sold them to private landlords. What, all of them? So of the thousands upon thousands of properties bought through...

The more rich I become (in my fantasy world) the more I would do to ensure I was paying what I'm legally, not morally, obliged to. Not a penny more. The ginger guy from Scottish Greens was on the telly box this morning and was being asked about Scottish workers being taxed more than other...

I watch two or three YT'ers who review bikes and they've reviewed some scooters and have been more than pleasantly surprised by them. Suitable for all ages but one of the points they make is ideal for those knocking on in years who still want the sensation of being out on the bike. When you...

Which is why the merry-go-round nature of it all continues. If Reform get in after Labour at the next GE, I'm confident where things aren't going according to plan they'll say 'bear in mind we're needing to fix the last x years of Labour's mess, that can't be done overnight'. Round and round...

Hopefully I'm not misrepresenting your post. I think this is a significant part of the problem. An increasing amount of people have become jaded with the bull that spills from the mouths of our established parties. Jeez, the longer you're on the planet, the more you realise this. The...

Same. I often think if I win big on the lottery, my priority would be buying a place where I could be relatively isolated from anyone, bar those few people I'd still be happy enough to see. As someone else posted, I also have zero interest in going anywhere where there will be crowds.

It's a difficult one for me up here. I'd naturally be a Conservative voter but that tends to be a totally wasted vote in my area. I don't want to vote Reform but I do want to vote, I think everyone should. I'm definitely not an SNP or Greens supporter and the Lib Dems to me are always a bit...

They are all, ALL, in the proverbial swamp to varying degrees. Anyone thinking a Reform government would be a genuine breath of fresh air is at best misinformed. tbh I suspect the same holds true for Restore.

Guys, can we PLEASE keep this respectful in relation to the people coming in. They are ALL decent law abiding chaps who we should welcome with open arms...

I wonder how they measure the effectiveness of such deals? i.e. the difference between the deal being in place and not. I suspect the boats will keep on coming, meanwhile £660 million of our tax take is being given to France. What a complete and utter farce this whole thing is. Great Britain...

Let's agree to disagree. For those dipping their toe, I think being able to first play in a demo account for a few weeks or months makes complete sense for those who'd prefer that route.

Unless I'm misreading you, I don't necessarily agree with that, certainly from my own pov. I think it's great to be able to have a play with fake money to get a feel for the whole thing.

Like you I'm considering having a play, first with demo account and then real £££, staying within limits that I can comfortably afford to lose. Re the BIB, I suppose it comes down to being prepared to do the hard graft in terms of reading up on the subject and having a dabble. Like many things...

Not sure if I'm reading this part of your post correctly. First of all sorry to read about your wife. If you mean you now don't have immediate family to leave your accumulated wealth to, could you start spending large chunks of it on yourself? We've all heard the stories of 'Did you hear...

How are they going to check peoples age? Will everyone in years to come who looks like they might have been born around that time or after be asked to provide ID? Or is it assumed it will be checked via national ID linked to all financial transactions people make?

Less and less is enforceable when it comes to the LL side. However if the tenant feels anything is going wrong, the LL is expected to jump through hoops. Parity? Don't make me laugh. I remember on a LL/tenant forum years back a tenant posted 'how long should I expect to wait for a broken...

It's the old catch 22 thing. They were maybe a reasonably decent, on the way to being rehabilitated, ex offender looking to rebuild their life through whatever initiative. However, such is today's world, you likely did the right thing saying no thanks, although I agree maybe let them get a bit...

Years back I created a sandbox account on IG. I think I received $800 in play money. Built my account to something like $3-4k within a few weeks, however if I'm being honest I think it was as much down to good luck than anything else!

PM is fielding questions in HoP re Mandelson. Lee Anderson called him a liar, speaker said we don't use language like that and I'm sure the honorable gentleman will retract it. Lee stood back up and said he (the PM) couldn't lie straight in bed. Speaker asked him to leave.

I think when you see '79% of traders lose money on our platform' when these companies advertise, it pretty much sums up trading ain't for everyone. I started using a S&S ISA a few years back, wish I'd started a decade earlier.
