He appeared to propose a different tax scale for PE and referred to them as asset strippers. Its a bit of a backward step to the union rhetoric of 4 or 5 years ago when PE was making big profits.

Christ, my own business is totally reliant on private equity in the form of business angels.


They've got plenty of other options for their cash, and SME is very high risk, so anything that dissuaded them from investing in small business start ups, early stage funding, the rounds and pre IPO would be absolutely insane.


You'd kill small business.


I can see an argument to dissuade those that target existing mature businesses from asset stripping, but Milliband would need to be very careful in how he couches any legislation.

So what do we all think of the proposal to raise the speed limit to 80?


I was quite surprised as I'd forgotten that occasionally something sensible and positive can come out of a politician. I guess occasionally policy brainstorming does deliver the goods...


Presumably it is now only a matter of time before Ed suggests that it needs to be raised to the right level and not the wrong level. That the Torys are wrong, wrong, wrong and are going too far too fast. And that we should all get on board his plan to raise the limit to 78mph.

Quality satire, SC. :))

    • Incidentally, Southwark seems to have possibly adopted a requirement of swift boxes in new-builds anyway, and I think they're not the only LA to have done so. I recently added to to my post in https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/342208-free-swift-nest-box-installation-in-se22/#comment-1703954, the edit:- [ 30/4/25, 18/6/25  ETA To answer my own question: I see that 4 swift nesting boxes were actually  required at an earlier stage of that same developments application.  In the 4/4/25 Decision Notice of  application 24/AP/3740 is: "8. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the swift bricks details approved under 24/AP/3596 unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority ]    
    • Hi, I'm after some free moving boxes in good used/reusable condition. Large, Medium and small size and any packing spare materials you might want to pass on. Reduce, reuse, recycle. I'm not moving home for a few months, so if something comes up later on, please do DM me. I will keep this post open/active until found. Many thanks  
    • Anyone know why temporary lights were put in on East Dulwich Grove on Sunday but as of 8am this morning no works are evident ? I imagine works are planned but have been delayed but the team putting in the lights have gone ahead anyway. 🙄 Just as well Alleyns and JAGS have finished...  
    • A bit like Levi Bellfield. It's not a good look.
