I understand the point he's making in relation to brand new MPs, but it's not exactly the smartest thing to say, especially the timing giving UC uplift just ended.
I have no doubt it can be a challenge for a new MP, but I struggle to have much sympathy for someone on £82,000 a year when very large swathes of the population aren't even on half of that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's get this right:
Very large swathes of the population are members of *families* that don't bring in close to a *quarter* of that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The government’s department of work and pensions defines low pay as any family earning less than 60% of the national median pay. On this basis, there are more than 13 million people in the UK living in low-income households.
Uk median income - £31,461
13 million people earning less than - £18,887
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the UK median income of £31k per capita or household?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Per person.
Low pay has also been defined in relation to the cost of living by the Minimum Income Standard Project. By their calculations, for a single person household anything less than £19,200 a year, before tax, counts as low pay.
Out of curiosity, do you know anyone personally earning less than £20k?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good, glad it’s per person and per person.
Don’t forget that there are 8m part time workers in the UK mate.
I would agree that £19k per capita (full time) is low pay in terms of brackets.
Lol? Probably early 20s so like £22k around that level yeah. But remember I am in London.

Yeah I'm in London too and work for a housing association (so a safe job) that, by quite a margin, the vast majority of full time staff are on around £19-25k.
London Weighting is a distant memory.
You like me, I assume, can agree that no one in London has a future to come anywhere close to matching their parents on those wages
The part time workforce has a large chunk of working parents who have to pay eye watering childcare costs.

I wouldn’t be anywhere near London on low wages like that unless it was my first year with a career path etc. If it were a permanent salary at those sorts of levels, I would leave London empty with rubbish piling up until they raised the wages and/or spread the jobs and wealth throughout the country more.
They’re starting to take some bits away from London but nowhere near enough. Still way too FS dependent and that’s all still London based sadly.
What is people's stance on foreign people coming into the UK for work and living?
I've just overheard an interesting discussion whilst at work about it all and I just wanted to know whether people view it as a good or bad thing.

A lot of development is happening in Manchester and I can imagine within the next 5 years it will be regarded as the "second city" of England, behind London obviously.
The distribution of wealth between London and the rest of England is so ridiculously poor. For comparison, I've known someone who was living in Hammersmith for a year who had the opportunity to buy their one floor (of a 5 storey house) for £600k, just the floor. A flat in West Yorkshire (where I am based) would be somewhere in the region on £80-100k.

We really need a revolution guys, I’m up for culling all the Tory front benchers. High time we took our country back from the dictators.

Ah here he is. I was beginning to worry about you buddy. Glad to see everything is ok. I did fear cardiac arrest when you realised that the UK benefitted from an early vaccine rollout.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Move on bro. You still can't read and have comprehension problems. I already proved my point.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hahahaa yeeeeees there he is 😂
You didn’t prove anything but I’m glad to see you’re true to form and more importantly, ok health-wise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm doing well thanks, never had health issues in my life and humbly hope that continues for a long time as I don't take it for granted.
Too bad I can't say the same for the UK which is doing worse than everyone else despite shooting out the gate first.

🚨 | NEW: Laura Kuenssberg and Michael Gove had a dance-off and rap battle at Tory conference.
BBC’s Lewis Goodall then sang Dancing Queen and said “have we got any Tory $c um in the audience?”

Embarrassing if true.

I’m sure there is video around of Gove, embarrassing doesn’t quite cover it.

I understand the point he's making in relation to brand new MPs, but it's not exactly the smartest thing to say, especially the timing giving UC uplift just ended.
I have no doubt it can be a challenge for a new MP, but I struggle to have much sympathy for someone on £82,000 a year when very large swathes of the population aren't even on half of that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's get this right:
Very large swathes of the population are members of *families* that don't bring in close to a *quarter* of that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The government’s department of work and pensions defines low pay as any family earning less than 60% of the national median pay. On this basis, there are more than 13 million people in the UK living in low-income households.
Uk median income - £31,461
13 million people earning less than - £18,887
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the UK median income of £31k per capita or household?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Per person.
Low pay has also been defined in relation to the cost of living by the Minimum Income Standard Project. By their calculations, for a single person household anything less than £19,200 a year, before tax, counts as low pay.
Out of curiosity, do you know anyone personally earning less than £20k?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good, glad it’s per person and per person.
Don’t forget that there are 8m part time workers in the UK mate.
I would agree that £19k per capita (full time) is low pay in terms of brackets.
Lol? Probably early 20s so like £22k around that level yeah. But remember I am in London.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah I'm in London too and work for a housing association (so a safe job) that, by quite a margin, the vast majority of full time staff are on around £19-25k.
London Weighting is a distant memory.
You like me, I assume, can agree that no one in London has a future to come anywhere close to matching their parents on those wages
The part time workforce has a large chunk of working parents who have to pay eye watering childcare costs.

From what I read it does seem we got a bit ahead of ourselves with renewables and we weren't quite there yet to do what we've done and now we are quite literally paying for it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We’ve had a very unwindy year.
Agree on nuclear, but I’m no expert.

I wouldn’t be anywhere near London on low wages like that unless it was my first year with a career path etc. If it were a permanent salary at those sorts of levels, I would leave London empty with rubbish piling up until they raised the wages and/or spread the jobs and wealth throughout the country more.
They’re starting to take some bits away from London but nowhere near enough. Still way too FS dependent and that’s all still London based sadly.

What is people's stance on foreign people coming into the UK for work and living?
I've just overheard an interesting discussion whilst at work about it all and I just wanted to know whether people view it as a good or bad thing.

I view it as a good thing. Without it I would not have been born.
Don’t let that influence your views on whether it is a good or bad thing though 😃

Laura is embarassing but what Lewis did is hilarious.

Is it? The right would be raging about the BBC being left wing if they had done something similar at the Labour conference.

You're in the 36th percentile before you get to taxpayers who earn more than £20,500 before tax (ONS, 2019).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah said half cause I meant per household in my head, but that stay is actually mental.
Knew it was bad, but didn't think it was that bad.

A lot of development is happening in Manchester and I can imagine within the next 5 years it will be regarded as the "second city" of England, behind London obviously.
The distribution of wealth between London and the rest of England is so ridiculously poor. For comparison, I've known someone who was living in Hammersmith for a year who had the opportunity to buy their one floor (of a 5 storey house) for £600k, just the floor. A flat in West Yorkshire (where I am based) would be somewhere in the region on £80-100k.
