    Well GPs are doing well – they are paid approximately £100k PA and still not seeing patients. Doctors at my surgery seem to have a whole glut of excuses. Not bad money for not doing your job. Peter Bottomley feels his salary of £82K not enough for MPs, but don’t worry about the poor people losing £20 per week who can’t feed their families! Excessive pay for weather presenters who earn well when they can’t get their predictions right – I wish I was in a job I could get so well rewarded for mistakes! Who is it said we are not in a high wage society?

    Surely the reduction in labour supply in general after brexit will promote wage growth in many areas.

    shame that re-training is not only expensive but the cost always seems to be put on the worker who wants to up-skill who often doesn't have that extra spare cash to invest in it

Andy Burnham compared to “Sheriff of Nottingham” over new “mansion tax”

Published

By



Andy Burnham has been branded the “Sheriff of Nottingham” by a Tory MP as HMRC valuation agents are set to descend on British homes to determine eligibility to pay the steep new “mansion tax”.

Speaking to GB News, Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Mike Wood compared the Prime Minister to the villainous rival of Robin Hood as he hit out at plans to hike levies on higher-value homes.

Inspectors could be sent to determine whether homeowners will be liable for a new surcharge on higher-value homes, and those who refuse agents entry could face criminal prosecution and a fine of up to £200.

Additionally, homeowners who do not supply requested information without a “reasonable excuse” could attract a fine of up to £500.
