Time to post my biannual “how artificially compressed are British wages”.
Rising minimum wage and a 50k+ p/a tax bracket that runs to 40% of earnings, and hasn’t adjusted for inflation. This form of artificial wage compression has turned everyone in Britain into low productivity tax cattle - you have zero incentive to become anything other here.
This is also a form of ambition and productivity compression.

Sorry im too focused on the sea anemone he has stolen from the great barrier reef and stuck onto his lapel
Can we just go back to Brugge for a 3rd striker. The first one is defective and the 2nd one is injured.
🚨📈 3 hat-tricks in 4 weeks. 16 goals this season. Nicolo Tresoldi is in top form at Club Brugge.
Decision between Germany and Italy for his international future remains open. For now, one thing is clear: he wants to represent Germany at the U21 EURO in summer 2027.
Arsenal and other top clubs remain keen on him - also for January.
Barcelona showed concrete interest in the days leading up to the last deadline day, but were not willing to meet Club Brugge’s valuation of around €50m.

Looking into the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation and we appear to be importing used cooking oil from Taliban run Afghanistan to make biodiesel.
Calling it 5 crosses is generous when 4 of them found no one 😂
Four shots, three key passes and five crosses.

The player with 40% of their goals isn’t good enough for United.
Would be bottom of the table without his goals 😂

State capital allocation latest.
They need more tax money to pay £190,000 per homeless person.
I earn around £85k a year after a 60% marginal tax rate for reference and I have a place to live.
Apparently the state needs more than double that to house a homeless person.
‘That’s £190,000 per person…’
‘We could buy them all a house!”
