So they weren't all working from home then?

Great to see the Davos crowd squirming in their seats as Trump tells them a few home truths. Even more fun was Javier Milei's speech. Pity he didn't bring his chainsaw with him.

All entirely predictable. She was told by the OBR this would happen before she changed the non-dom rules. But socialists never learn - money goes where it is treated best. I expect Chomps will be along soon to tell us getting the most productive people to leave the UK is all part of the grand Labour plan.

You'll need an executor in the UK that you name in the will. Someone you trust, or you can pay a solicitor to do it.

Just make a UK will leaving everything to your wife. Any decent UK solicitor can handle it.

Along with Bliar.

None so blind.....

Try this for size. I know you'll believe it as it comes from the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpwxzpqrnjko

Are you so blind as to not see that the UK's out-of-control government spending goes far beyond the issue of disability benefits? The Lords report covers just one symptom of an underlying disease. Tinkering around the edges will not resolve the fundamental problem, as Rachel from accounts is finding out.

" the only option is to question why we are, on paper at least, so chronically more sick than the rest of Europe." There's you answer. Declaring you have a self-diagnosed 'metal health' issue has become acceptable, even fashionable. And the gullible benefit assessors go along with it, so that millions can sit on their sofas watching daytime TV and stuffing themselves with junk food, which of course exacerbates their 'metal health' issues'.

I actually find myself in agreement on something with Tony Blair. I'm going to lie down in a darkened room until it passes.

"The report notes that £65 billion is spent annually on health-related benefits, surpassing the government’s defence budget of £54 billion." That's not even the biggest problem for Rachel from accounts. From the FT: "The Treasury will spend £110bn on debt interest in 2023, according to a forecast by Fitch. At 10.4 per cent of total government revenue, that would be the highest level of any high-income country." National debt and government spending are out of control, while public services get even worse. It's the perfect storm.

"This raises concerns about what children are being taught regarding immigration and whether they are encouraged to critically evaluate the impact of such policies." I doubt if children are being taught to critically evaluate anything. What our masters want is ignorant, obedient voting fodder who believe everything they're told and follow orders.

These clowns have been filmed clocking in at the Parliament office for 5 minutes on a Friday morning to collect their weekly allowances, then b*****ing off home for a long weekend. The European Parliament is about equivalent to the plenum of the CCP - a powerless talking shop set up to rubber stamp Queen Ursula's proclamations. And handsomely paid for the privilege, not to mention the numerous scandals concerning their expenses over the years, The only time it served any purpose was when Nigel Farage was an MEP and regularly let off steam at the bunch of useless Eurocrats running the show.

What exactly do you disagree with in the article?

Agreed....but to replace them with what? I don't see any shining lights on the Labour front bench.

The guy with a Greek name (who may or may not be Greek, have you seen his passport?) is running a news outlet that opposes ILLEGAL immigration and is in favour of a cap on the number of legal migrants to the UK. Perfectly sensible positions which the majority of the British public agree with.

It should be obvious by now that this is how Trump operates. Throw out an outrageous statement (the more outrageous the better) and while the media hacks are all choking over their coffee, everyone starts talking about a subject which was unthinkable before he said it. It's called the Overton window and it moves every time he pulls one of these stunts.

So you think hiding their identity, or calling them "Asian" (which is demonising Indians, Thais, Japanese and Koreans) is preferable? Time to call a spade a spade.

No guilt by association? Has anyone ever been prosecuted for the cover up?

Once again trying to deny the fact that these heinous crimes were covered up by mostly Labour councils and police forces.

Brits are now extremely angry about the cover-up, thanks to Musk shedding light on the murky issues that the establishment hoped would stay in the dark. When you delve into the details of the abuse, the level of medieval barbarity is shocking in itself. But the fact that this was covered up for decades by police, local authorities and (mostly) Labour politicians so as 'not to rock the multicultural boat' has incensed the British sense of fair play. Starmer will not get out of this one unscathed. My money says he'll be consigned to the dustbin of history before the end of the year.

The enquiry was not specifically into the Pakistani rape gang scandal. It had a much broader remit and the events in towns like Rotherham, Oldham and Telford were barely mentioned, if at all. https://unherd.com/watch-listen/the-grooming-gang-fallout/ What is needed urgently is proper inquiry into who covered up these crimes and for what motives. Those culprits should be dealt with by the full force of the law.

It's the web of secretive NGOs and foundations he set up decades ago and which his money funds that peddle political influence worldwide. They have their own evil existence now, they don't need him any more.

Agreed. She was a walking PR disaster, but the basic economic ideas she was trying to implement were correct. As Rachel from accounts is now proving in spades.
