We work with a lot of overseas suppliers, it would be quite easy I think to justify staying in 5 days to be aligned with our suppliers. How do they cope when you're on holiday?

tonyh29 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Rent a gob Phillips now saying she got seen quicker at a hospital because she voted against Israel's right to defend itself and there was a Palestinian Doctor on call at the time I mean she probably got seen quickly because she was having breathing difficulties and the NHS tend to prioritise you based on need rather than seeing little Timmy who has a splinter in his finger before they see someone unable to breathe , but I thought the guidance from Streeting was was just to let racists die , not to actually give priority to people based on political beliefs ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's Jess Phillips, she's like if "and then everyone clapped" was a person, I'd take whatever tale she's telling to big herself up with a heap of salt. She's likely just blowing some friendly small talk massively out of proportion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must still be high on the sweet taste of victory and so she's bound to be indulging in hubris. I don't think a person can survive in politics if they aren't a narcissist. I've always thought she would have made a great T&G shop steward because she could always have been heard at the back of a mass meeting on the car park. Grace doesn't come easy to brummies.

TreeVillan Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 You just know with Jess Phillips that if her local constituency happened to be majority Jewish then she would have been conveniently pro Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted August 30 Moderator Share Posted August 30 6 hours ago, MakemineVanilla said: Has anyone ever refused overtime because they resented paying the tax? Yep, in part. Our overtime used to be at time and a quarter, or for very unsocial hours time and a half, but above a certain salary threshold, they just paid it at time. So that, combined with paying more tax was for me a disincentive to do it. This was maybe 25+ years ago and eventually the Union got the arbitrary limit removed, and the limit wasn’t like, say in today’s money 50k or anything, it was maybe then 24k so perhaps today equivalent 32k or thereabouts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Not good when a Labour mp has been found out to be a rogue landlord with mould and a ant infestation in many of his properties and when tenants complain ge5 threatened with eviction. He is claiming no knowledge as hes using a letting agent but come on he must know all about it. This is embarrassing for Labour as the were championing tenant rights in their election campaign. We could have an early dismissal and by election here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who this is but landlords do use letting agents to manage properties so they don’t have to get involved. It’s really not that incredulous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Is this the beat gotcha you tories have. Is this the they are all the same as each other. Is this it? Ludicrous. Remove your head from your anis for a second. Look at the last few governments. If a landlord potentially relying on the word of family member or a letting agent is your best punch then you may have shown your cards a little early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Who's going to bet the landlord isn't a word removed? Who's going to bet the letting agents aren't words removed? Going to have to wait and see, ain't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve lived in this flat 18 months and never met the landlord. This isn’t even managed. We communicate via WhatsApp. They’ve never inspected the place since I’ve moved in, they’ve sent the relevant workmen if required. It could be full of mould for all they know.

A tiny little voice is telling me that if @bickster had mould throughout his house, his landlord would know about it.
