mine aint anywhere near that

it's based on your income, apparently

low income it's pinned to RPI, then stages up to a maximum of RPI+3%

UBI would significantly reduce the need for student loans

Wouldn't eliminate it

Also, courses which are in demand should attract bursaries from both industry and the government

I think back to me just leaving school.. if I had ubi... would I bother going to college or getting a job... probably not 😛

either that or I probably would have stayed in college all my life

You wouldnt' be allowed to stay in college all your life without paying for it

And if your parents didn't kick you out, then that's really their watch out

And if you were kicked out, you would be incentivised to work on the grounds that you have to eat

UBI isn't set to replace housing benefit or disability benefit, so it'd only be like 80 quid a week or so

under JC my council tax will go up £425.89 a year

and heres me worrying my boiler might go and Ill freeze over winter cos I cant afford a new one...

50bn, passing through.. https://twitter.com/BloombergTV/status/1199662418215022593?s=20

Only decent policy JC has so far that i can see is the interest-free loan for insulation, windows, and boilers

Environmental apprenticeships

my windows are brand new.. but I would still get that loan for new windows if its really interest free 😛

Is it double or triple glazed?

double

previous were single... and tbh the downstairs of this maisonette is social housing... so they are home 24/7 ... so my heating is partly covered

I gotta say this but...
I don’t care if Boris sells the NHS to America.
The NHS is such a bloated inefficient organisation that selling it off to someone else who might be willing to give it the reformation and shake up it needs would be a good thing.

Might turn out to be a bad thing considering the stories about big phama

He ain't selling the NHS

ffs

Le presidente Corbyn keeps saying he is.
[sarcasm]so it must be true[/s]

The thing is, "opening up the NHS to the USA" basically means having a free trade agreement on drugs and medical services, which may result in cheaper prices to the NHS

But I’m saying that even if he were, then it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me.

I understand the sentiment.

I take it that the absolute mad-laddery that is "lo fi boriswave" being posted to an official Conservative channel has already been shared here?

You just posted that half way through my typing lol

Many times over.

See, that kind of comparison is what I immediately worried about when I heard of Boris wave

Why?

I've seen wg threads about "fashwave"

moronic

I'm just worried it'll be spun as fascist crap by the other side

Corbynwave soon?

that's really reaching

I don't think it's true, but I don't think it's out of the question
