Keir Starmer at it again..

Marina Hyde in The Guardian with the best line of the day:-

Is Farage’s win a new dawn? We could ask Labour, but they’re still fast asleep.​

Plenty of buyer's remorse now.

We earn £100k but can no longer afford private school - there's £1.68 in the bank

On paper, my husband and I have it all: two well-paid jobs, our own home and two of our three kids at private school but at the end of each month we're scrounging

It's just bollocks though isn't it. He isn't paying 60% (or is it 65%, she changes her mind later on) tax on his salary. No-one in the entire country is.

As soon as you go over £100k you start to lose tax free threshold, you also lose free childcare hours

For every £1000 over 100,000 you earn you receive £400. I think it works like this until £125i

But anyone thinking they can afford private school on £100k is bonkers anyway

 

[Tony Towner]

It's called that because between £100k and £125k you lose your personal allowance. Anyone with any sense puts it in their pension though

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, but that's not the same, is it.

When you earn £100,000.01 a year you don't suddenly pay the Exchequer £60,000 a year, which is how she's framing it.

 

[AndyWolves]

Agree with that, but people say they pay 40% tax and everyone knows what that means

You'd be surprised

The article is utter bollocks though and theme seems to be 'wah wah if I spend more than we earn then we have no money'. Private school is a minimum of £20k per year. £100k just under 6k a month, are they really spending 3 1/2 salary just on private school, going on holidays, nice cars etc and wondering why they're skint

Anyone who can't prosper on £100k is nuts, but that doesn't include private school

I think this is also why there are a fair few new cars about too because people are SS to get them

Of course it's bollocks.

It's an infuriating read.

The equivalent of me paying for corporate hospitality for every Wolves home game next season just for me, then wondering why I don't have a lot of spare cash in the week before payday.

I would say that in my experience of dealing with people who were educated privately, it really wasn't worth the money.

Boo fucking hoo. Dunno if they mean 100 k each or combined, whichever you can have a nice life on either. It's pretty simple don't send your kids to private school, although my eldest teaches in a private school and half the kids are from families earning less than that. What they do is live on a budget that allows them to educate their kids how they want to.

"But ever since my husband’s last promotion tipped his salary over £100k, our disposable income has plummeted."

That's ....that's not how to works. The income won't go down, it just goes up slower.

What an awful, factually inaccurate piece

Yep lose to a load of right wing sentiment so you oppose it right? Nope just play more into that rhetoric, even though you're vastly inferior at doing it to Farage and it's sheer cuntery anyways.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Private school just makes no sense at these prices, particularly if you’ve got 3 kids! That’s just an insane amount of money and you need to be seriously rich to pay it. £10k a year minimum per child for 14 years, crazy money.

Sal Sac is huge and growing. The top execs know how to play the game with the tax savings.

Although if you read around now, the latest for the thick fuckers is the high amount of new cars on the road is due to everyone who gets a benefit due to a disability, well they all get brand new cars via motorbility. Top of the range cars given to them all for free.

Hubbies having an affair and blaming the HMRC me thinks

Private schools, 2 properties, pay for a cleaner yet they’re skint. My heart bleeds.
