Landlords will be quaking in their pants up and down the country.
Maximum LHA rate has been slashed to £400pw.
Should be interesting when people can't find anything to rent, landlords are already not keen to rent to LHA :eek:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

Jobs:
Jobs are being created in the South not the rest of the country. The country must be rebalanced by continuing Capex on infrastructure. Also a way of providing finance for the North and tax breaks too (sounds a bit like the Docklands Development Corp run by Heseltine which was a massive success IMO).0 -
Ok, now I am getting seriously annoyed with my feed, as soon as he starts on a new announcement, the feed buffers!
Generali - The phone line tax thing confuzzled me too, had never heard of it.We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -

LOL.... Quaking in their pants in central London, perhaps.
Not many properties full of benefits claimants getting 21K a year in rent outside of the South East.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

20% VAT.... Loving it. Much better than other tax rises, as it's such a small component of most peoples income.
And also no expansion into other areas.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
