The last voting intentions poll I saw quoted by Phil Moorhouse put them on course for 25 seats. 
The collapse probably won’t be as hard as that but there is a reasonable chance of them having too few seats to be the official Opposition.
That’s 25 too many IMO

Indeed, but getting to Net Zero by 2050 is considered by many to be unachievable.

Hi @Bonzocat
As I am tidying up and putting madame’s copied DTT form for the state pension away I thought I’d just note the details for you -
Page 1 - usual address, NI, impot address, signature and stamp etc
Page 2-
Q1 - you’ll tick no to always lived in france
2 - date you became resident
3 - date you payed tax on pension in france - presumably date you got the pension.
4 - any UK property - ignore if not.
5 - ignore - put a line through, N/A
6 - ignore
7 - tick no
8 - ignore
Page 3
Part C tick UK state pension box and enter date pension started
ignore everything else
Page 4
Part D ignore - HMRC are repaying you
Part E - think you can ignore.
Part F tick box you want HMRC to work out the amount repayable
sign and date.
Regards.
Edit -
we included a note to 'please adjust the tax code back to £12570 which is applied to XXX pension tax office ref X, personal number Y. But hopefully that will be done before you send the form in.
Thanks for all that @larkswood12. Much appreciated.
Didn’t have too much of a problem with HMRC but I needed to ring the International Pensions Office for info about my UK State Pension. I explained that I may not be able to give the advisor the security info he needed because I didn’t know what he would ask of me. He refused to let me know what information I needed to give him, sounding very unhelpful, and I had to ring off! Tried again with a second advisor but got cut off while I was talking. Tried again and eventually found a friendly third advisor who was very helpful.
I think I’ve got all the information I need now. Phew! Thanks again.
I’ve received a payslip from my former employer and I see that my tax code has been changed from 106L to 128L as promised by the tax technician I spoke to at HMRC. Good on her!
