Oh dear, someone is struggling with basic numeracy again.

Maybot's deal was rejected by 68% of voters, the largest defeat for a sitting government in history.

While the referendum result was 52%/48%, a close call.

The % on zero hours and minimum wage contracts tends to create such politically defined phrases such as, "in work".

You think we are still leaving? A50 going to be extended with a view to stopping Brexit altogether. Unless of course Doris gets her deal through.

Minimum wage isn't that bad for those doing dead end jobs. £8 per hour , £320 a week or £16k a year. And also not as many people on zero contracts as made out plus many on zero hour contracts will still be putting in a circa 40h week.

Only need to go on any jobsite and see plenty of jobs available in the UK, if you don't work it's by choice not because no jobs.

£7.83 is £14,610 per year.
5.90 is £11,835 per year.

And, over 800,000 people on zero hour contracts.

Good luck getting by in the UK on that pittance....

Yet again you make a total tit of your self £5.90 Is for 18-20 year olds.

So what if 800,000 are on zero hour contracts, many will be getting the hours they want. Just because whatever rag you read has some pikey moaning about only getting offered 2 hours week work you automatically presume all circumstance are like that. Fukwit.

Minimum wage is basically just for unskilled shit liking working in Macdonalds and retail as a safety net for those who can't be arsed to do something more productive.

£7.83 x 40 hours a week x 52 weeks a year is over £16k fukwit.

Who the fuck mentioned take home pay? When you see job adverts does it quote gross or net pay? You do know the difference right?

You only get to spend what is paid into your bank account, so take home pay is the only number that matters.

...well to those with a functioning brain at least.

You are a total moron. Every post you make proves it and rather than admit you are a total moron you constantly just try and shift the goal posts but even then you still end up looking like a moron.

Posting facts is shifting goal posts?

It feels like an appropriate moment for a FaRT

It pretty much is when you factor in the personal tax allowance

As expected, the Government is to raise the "personal allowance" to £11,850 in the2018-19 tax year - up from £11,500 currently. ... The move is part of the Conservatives' previously-announced plan to raise the personal allowance to £12,000 and higher-rate to £50,000 by April 2020.

a word from our grand Brexiter creep

god, he simply has that facist look

Rees-Mogg says reformed Brexit deal could win over critics
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-46971390

Jacob Rees-Mogg says he believes Theresa May's Brexit deal could be "reformed" to win round opponents.

The Brexiteer - one of 118 Tory MPs who voted against the deal last week - said he had more optimism that "things were going our way".

But he said as long as the Northern Ireland "backstop" was part of the deal he would not vote for it.

The EU's negotiator Michel Barnier said there were currently only two Brexit options - the PM's deal or no deal.

And he warned that even if MPs decided to take no deal off the table, it would not stop it from happening unless there was "a positive majority for another solution".

Under current law, the UK will exit the EU on 29 March, whether or not a deal has been struck. The decision to leave was taken by 52% to 48% in a referendum in June 2016.

The backstop element of Mrs May's deal seeks to keep a border open between Northern Ireland and Ireland with no checks on people or goods regardless of what deal is signed. But critics say it keeps Northern Ireland too closely aligned with the EU and separate from the rest of the UK - and that the UK would be permanently trapped in it.

It's extraordinary that he's actually managed to get even more stupid than his previously sky high levels of dumbness.

Your source is a Telegraph article from 2017 on what the government might do in the following year, while my calculation is based on what is currently being deducted by UK Gov for tax year 2018/2019 based on 40hr x £7.83/£4.20.
