I’m on the point of giving up with this election. We used to have solidarity in the working class. I can’t see anything other than a thumping Tory majority. They’ve got us split on Brexit, on north/south divide, they’ve even planted false Tories in our once solid labour constituencies (the Brexit party). Control of the thoughts of the electorate is so complete that there’s no point to a democratic vote. Maybe we need another five years of Tory plundering and selling off of public assets to wake us up? I’m truly worried about the outcome. It’s probably not Corbyn’s fault, he was dead from the moment of election to the job, but when the chief rabbi publicly endorses your opponent you are probably f*****. The Tories are being judged on anything but their record.
There is a simple legal way to avoid this. Keep track of your earnings and if u are going to go above 50k make a voluntary additional pension payment before tax year end to bring it under and this will brig down your gross salary. Upshot is you also get extra tax relief on whatever goes in. Obv this is not financial advice and u should take advice from a pro with the relevant creds but i think u should get the picture if you didnt realise you could do this.
