Back in 2010, the minimum wage was £12,064 and the 'higher earner' band started at £43,875.
You only paid 40% tax once you were earning 3.6x the minimum wage.
There was clear incentive to progress, learn and aspire for more.
As things stand, you now start paying 40% tax once you earn £50,270 which is just 1.83x the minimum wage.
If it was the same multiple as 2010, the 'higher earning' band would be £98,841 and everyone below this amount would be paying 20%.
Someone on £98,841 is effectively losing out on £9714.20 net per year if the bandings had simply moved in line with previous multiples relative to minimum wage.
This is one of the reasons why the middle class is being eroded and why there's a cost of living crisis in the UK.
An increase to £13.20p/h equates to a minimum wage of £27,456, based on a 40 hour week.
Once you factor in employers NI and basic pension contributions, the MINIMUM cost to hire a 21 year old for a company would be £31,461.
This is before you factor in any overarching business costs like office space, laptops, phone, software, training, support staff, vehicles etc.
This is going to be devastating to SME's who cant put together a simple 12 month budget without the goalposts being moved & their margins squeezed.
It'll also be catastrophic to youngsters opportunities because businesses will simply not be able to afford to hire them.
What's also incredible is that anything above £50,270 is seen as 'high earnings' in the UK and is taxed at 40%!
We are governed by financially and economically illiterate morons.
This will not end well.
Traitors, every last one of them, they’re killing us 😔
🚨#BREAKING:
The British government announces it will start issuing expedited visas to Gazan students so they can move to the UK & study at British Universities.
The UK will also "establish a permanent framework for more refugee students to come study in the UK"
She’s like a fucking parody, £92k a year plus expenses 🚮
I was the first Black woman MP to stand at the ministerial despatch box.
Seeing @TaiwoOwatemi, @abenaopp, @Miatsf and @FloEshalomi follow makes me immensely proud.
I now hope Parliament’s Black History Month debate must have a permanent place in the diary.

The best thing about Harry Kane is that in an industry that churns out absolute wankers he is just a nice guy who loves his family, works hard at his job and is the best person he can be. Excellent role model.
🚨🚨🎙️| Harry Kane delivers an emotional tribute to his parents, wife and children after winning the 2026 Ballon d’Or! ❤️🏆
To his mum and dad:
“What a moment. All those years, the sacrifice you gave me, the support you gave me, the times taking me to training, coming to watch me play, all around England, all around Germany, no matter where it was, even to this day you're there.”
“There was never any pressure from you to become a footballer. It was always about working hard, it was always about improving, it was always about learning.”
“I love you. Thank you very much.”
To his children:
“To Ivy, Vivian, Louis and Henry, you're the reason I do this.”
“I want to set a good example, being a father, but also being a professional and what it means to work hard, what it means to believe in yourself. I love you very much.”
To his wife Katie:
“My best friend. We've been through ups and downs, for sure. You're my biggest supporter.”
“Here it is. We've done it. You've always done the best for me. You sacrificed yourself to help me achieve my dreams.”
“This is a trophy that we celebrate, not me. It's me and you. It's all the family.”
“I love you.” ❤️
Jesus, just fucking nuke us ffs 🤦🏻
Who is she to tell Bob that he's wrong, i was brought up always believing it was short for Pakistani.... people in different areas of England had many different names for things but that doesn't mean any of them are wrong. The left turn many normal words into something offensive. If you've been brought up to believe a word means something, when you use it & somebody believes it means something different that doesnt mean you are wrong. Offense is taken not given
If you want to end #RoughSleeping for 5000 people #AndyBurnham, just deport one months worth of illegal migrants and give their rooms to Brits.
Job done.
Money saved.
Safer streets.
Well said, Tony 🫡
Go off to fight foreign battles?
Leave my family at home while home is being invaded by foreign men?
While unknown dangers walk our streets, while law and order breaks down because crime has no consequences, while the Government sending me to war has gone against me and mine and taken sides with others.
I don't think so @PeterBleksley I'm staying right here.

Boomer who chose not to enlist for the Falklands or first Iraq war demands the youth of today volunteer to die for a drug addled Ukranian dwarf.
Get fucked! Peter Bleksley!
She can fuck off, Peter can certainly fuck off and that Labour mouth piece can definitely fuck off 🤝

The Left: Black people living in England are as English as Alfred the Great.
Also the Left: Black people deserve reparations because of their ancestry.
The Left are insufferable anti-White scum.

Young lads up here can't get a start. Shipyards gone, pits long gone, apprenticeships like gold dust. And Burnham's answer is free movement for 450 million people chasing the same jobs. Train our own fucking kids first.
