Case in point:
Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

The cherry on the top is that Gove was literally in the government (governments) that, if follows, brought the supposed "strange death" on this green and pleasant land.

Not the biggest problem with it, but a lot of people assume they won't need to pay tax on rental income, so the mortgage will be paying for itself.

Возвращаясь к предыщему разговору, инфляция в 6% при Байдене это ужас, конец среднему классу, уж лучше Трамп, чем такое терпеть.
"Официальная" инфляци в 7% в РФ это "экономика работает, магазины открыты, чего бухтеть".

You can at least recognise that even if you have immediately moved the goalposts. The governments you praised did nothing of what this one you hate had done in a year! Instead, you keep hammering them as "weak on immigration".
These people are impossible to have an honest conversation with!

This is so transparently partisan. Assuming immigration is your super important issue, this government is undoubtedly doing more to reduce it than any other government in 30 years. Even though they don't have to, their voters actually dislike that! Your "genuine concerns" have been fucking noticed!

When it comes to benefits, my favourite example is German Kindergeld - every child there receives 250 Euros a month pretty much unconditionally. Regardless of how much parents earn and even if they are permanent residents.
This is before any other support, just for the fact a family has a kid.

Pensions of working pensioners aren't, and it's been like that for 10 years.
Although just double checked, and they are apparently resuming it next year.

Used aggregating calculators recently and found out workers earning respective country's min wage, then an equivalent of £30K and then £50K all take home about 15% more in Britain than in France. Low and medium earners are taxed more on the continent.
I didn't include student loan repayment though.
