Care is hardly straightforward. Most setups are run by private providers (who determine pay in line with market forces) and the government wouldn't touch it with a long pole. Many concils are on the brink of bankruptcy thanks to social care. Central govt doesn't want or have the means to increase funding to councils.
B-Jo was able to ride the covid induced wave of nationalism that people didn't mind when such was introduced. Now we're back to normalcy, and tax burden close to historical highs, nobody wants an extra tax bill. The recent winterfuel and issue with farmers caused alot of upheaval even though it was the 'rich' that were targeted.

On economic modelling, I think the UK would remain somewhere in between as its culture dictates. Its tough- Higher income earners already carry a huge tax burden and taxing them more would not bring needed gains and be unpopular. An argument can be made to reduce the relatively generous personal allowance but this would be unpopular and its already set to rise by inflation.
A less controversial one would be cutting/capping ISAs as was done with pensions but that might result in a behaviour change and unsure inpact. There are other small cuts/ tax rises that could be made but Reeves is trying to play it safe but the people want major reform. People increasingly want something radical even if that is ultimately going to burn down the economy

Didn't take long. Telegraph is already arguing against ILR for our great british care workers. When they were used to subsidize care costs, they didn't know they were 'low-skilled'. Now its time to become citizens, they don remember their skill... lol
Interesting how these folks advocate a UAE-esque system when it suits but when it doesn't, accuse those folks of human right abuses. If its a mistake, why is the visa pathway still open? Well, I'm happy Keir is overseeing the return of migration numbers to 'normalcy'

Over the next two years, many of those who arrived since 2021 will become eligible for indefinite leave to remain. Once this is granted, no matter how expensive they may turn out to be, they can stay. The priority for the Government should be preventing this from happening – extending the time taken for eligibility, imposing fiscal contribution thresholds and, in the longer term, shifting towards a guest worker model for short-term, low-wage work. The alternative is too costly to contemplate.

Greetings,

Experts in the house, please help me out on this. I have a shares in a UK based company and want to sell part. However, I want the money sent to a trusted friend within the UK itself.

I have the intention of coming to the UK via a research based course with my spouse, so I need the money to remain in the UK for important transactions.

I'm not taxable in the UK right now.

Now, my question is can this money be transferred to my friend without endangering her account since every financial activities are monitored?

I have heard a lot from some people about how such transactions may be suspected and flagged.

Thank you

Facts.

According to latest polls, Reform is already within touching distance of Labour. Not great news for Labour, less than 1 year from the GE. This year's local elections should be interesting. And it appears that the UK is moving into a 3-party system for the first time ever.

I disagree with you too. Removing her citizenship when she had no other citizenship was illegal. The government will lose this case .
They should save taxpayer's money and do the right thing.

When you make this case to the British people, they will understand and support it. They may hate her because of her interview but these are the facts of the case. Ours is a long tradition of upholding international law. We shouldn't break it now

jedisco:
Do you still have a UK bank account?

Also, there are easier ways of transferring money across borders now.

Hello everyone, please would like to get recommendations on insurance companies from Nigeria I can use to get travel insurance for my mother in law who would be visiting next month. Plan is for her to stay more than 3 months. I have checked Axa mansard, seems they don’t cover more than 90 days. Would like to hear your views

Sweden plans to remove citizenship from people seen as threat to state

Sweden's political parties have agreed that dual citizens who commit crimes that threaten national security should lose their citizenship.

A cross-party committee recommended that the change could be applied to anyone who had used bribes or false information to obtain their citizenship; and also if they committed crimes that were a threat to the state or came under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdenz1drj8o

Read the FAQs, especially the one concerning maximum policy duration.
Ultimately if you cant get any for more than 90 days, then buy more than one policy with overlapping start and end dates so your mother is always covered.

Santa2:
Try and call someone in Axa Mansard, I think they cover more than 90 days but the premium might be higher.

missjekyll:
Apples and oranges ,just wise. Your article is for dual citizens. Begum did not have dual citizenship. That's why removing her only citizenship breached international law

I chatted with one of their reps using the online chat function, seems the policy holder would have to return to Nigeria and make another trip. Would try calling them tomorrow to clarify, thanks 👍

That is not entirely true. She had provisional citizenship of Bangladesh until she was 21, her British citizenship was removed when she was 19.

Wetin we no go see for this youkay........ 🤣😂

Penalty issued like parking tickets, if you child's school attendance is abysmal...... 😂🏫🚸

People were taking children out of school to go on holidays. It was becoming an epidemic.

Lexusgs430:
Do we blame them.... 😂

Compare the prices and you would see it was cheaper, to simply pay the fine...... 😁😂

missjekyll:
How will they catch up with curriculum that they ve missed? Surely, holidays are not indispensable now,are they?

missjekyll:
Not according to the Bangladeshi government. They made it categorically clear she has never had citizenship of any kind and would be rejected if she applied.

Can't say I blame them. She was born and bred here. Bangladesh owes her nothing.

Anyone knows if the new process of the Contactless Biometric Capture (CBC) App in the UK for Nigerian Passport renewal has commenced? It was meant to start in November 2024 but it seem people still go through physical capture in Nigerian High Commission.

Lol 3rd offence is a straight referral to magistrates court 🤣
