The only release that pogbas interested in is from his contract, so he can go be the "star" elsewhere now fake ron has stolen his thunder.

Also, if the greeks have their way, mgliar will need someone to release him(from jail) soon, hopefully. Although it does seem to have gone quiet on that score.......hmmmm.
Apparently there's an even bigger backlog of cases than normal in the Greek judicial system as a result of Covid. It hasn't gone away.
 
where does the 6.3 billion figure come from?

The governments own figures are 8.4 Billion overpayments in the last financial year. (3.9% of all payments)
Reported as a mixture of government errors and fraud, but the government report makes not breakdown of how much of each
The government also reports that there were 2.5 billion in underpayments in the last financial year.

My figure is fraud only 3% - claimant and official error accounts for the other £2b or one per cent.
There is nothing to hide from these figures they are available internally to anyone who works for DWP.
Apologies for derailing thread.

PB you are right on the taper.
To address a previous post too the approximated value on Benefit fraud is £6.3 billion - yes billion. The largest factor with in this is failure to declare earnings.
It is also well known that an unspecified number of collusive employers offer 16 hour contracts then pay the remaining hours cash only.
To give this £6bn context, corporate tax evasion is estimated at £45bn last year. Avoidance would run into the hundred billions.
