to believe Rachel Reeves was crying because

brexit made us less attractive as a business centre. It’s not a sole reason, it’s part of it though

No of course not, you’re ‘entitled’ to it.

not having to house share or use food banks would be a start wouldn’t it

meanwhile the private owners of the company the carer works for is reaping it in. Whilst the tax payers have to top up the poor wages with universal credit.

I don’t have other peoples money

No, that’s just another tax. I really don’t think you get it, you’ve run out of other people’s money.

It doesn’t matter if anyone thinks it’s right or wrong, it’s an inescapable fact. Proportionately the poorest pay more of their income for everything - flatscreen TV’s, goats, tax, you name it…

Surely the maths wouldn’t math otherwise?

Whats your solution - pay everyone the same? A flat rate of tax for everyone? (I could probably get on board with the last one, but it’s not seen as progressive by most).

Isn’t it something like 54k before your not taking more out then in?
shall we up the minimum wage to that? Shall we make sure all the nurses, teachers, nursery staff, carers etc make that?

Well for starters I wouldn't have given such a stonking great pay rise to the train drivers without a productivity agreement.

I wouldn't have given out free school breakfast - if a parent can't give their child/children a boiled egg and some toast in the morning, they are pretty useless parents.

I wouldn't have raided the pensioners' pockets. The WFA would have been means tested - eg not for those paying tax at the higher rate

The chancellor (Hunt) described national insurance as a "tax on work" and said it he believed it was "unfair that we tax work twice" when other forms of income are only taxed once. I agree and would have left it alone.

I would have cut benefits to migrants coming over the channel, cut Foreign Aid to those countries who refuse to take back their criminals, and mobilize Border Force to raid and fine those businesses that illegally employ them.

Carwashes are being fined about £3million a year for employing illegal workers.

Fines on "Turkish" barbers brings in £29.2 million yearly. I can't find stats for "dodgy" nail bars.

If you multiply this across all sectors there's lot's of scope for raising money without penalising our old and infirm citizens

I have many friends in business who are now taking on less staff because they can't afford to pay the increases in Min Wage and NI.

She dressed in a particular way to bait critics, that’s 100% certain.

Ange; “What clown dress can I wear today ? I do hope it’s mentioned so I can claim sexism and blather on about sexism for six months and possible get discount/ free designer gear for my glow-up”!

It is if you’re expecting to live the same lifestyle as a Doctor.

The demands don’t keep going up. The fact is that there’s no money and we have a society that’s older and sicker than ever before. You were very vociferous in your criticism of the welfare bill, where do you want to see cuts? Because it’s either that or increased taxes. Of course Hunt’s £20 billion NI give away didn’t help. If I were Reeves I’d reverse that for a start.

What is your definition of rich and what is your definition of poor? Is rich someone earning £110k a year who works Monday, Tuesday and a bit of Wednesday to pay into the system before they see a penny of their salary? Is poor someone who doesn’t work at all?

You need and are going to get a good decade of learning how to support yourself again, the entitlement is mind blowing.

Do you think going into poorly paid care work is a bad life decision?

..,and every year those who make poor life decisions and don’t pay anything into the system whine they don’t get enough free stuff. We need one group, not so much the other.

How much more do you want? The demands keep going up.

Wrong. She said it herself in an interview - the lies came straight from her mouth. She deliberately and wilfully set out to deceive the public.

Every year the rich whine about what’s being taken from them. Pathetic.

Expecting the rich to pay more is not 'ideological spite' - proportionately the poorest pay much more of their income out in taxes. Why do you think that is right?

Ha ha, even Labour agree they have and are going. We’ve lost more millionaires than Russia this year so far and they are in a war using conscription and under heavy economic sanctions.

Tens of thousands of millionaires have left, thousands of jobs have been lost, hundreds of businesses closed, around a hundred independent schools have closed (some have been around for over a hundred years), 13000 children have been forced out of their school and generational farms are looking their last generation. All as result of ideological spite policies.

I strongly dislike Angela but I don’t think we need to be commenting on her dress sense.

Agree
shd has done a lot of damage to perception of women in leadership. And her mutton-dressed-as-bovine communist mate Ange mean girl smirking.

A party with no cohesiveness, that’s clear.

Sorry, entire very profitable business leaves uk office space empty and moves to Dubai because of a Brexit hangover when it’s been announced that it’s to pay less business taxes and employees pay less personal taxes?

UK economy not favorable for investment. Is any major company expanding INTO UK, other than whoever imports those noisy black scooters and employs the shifty guys driving them.

I can. You failed to understand I was calling out your hypocrisy babe

That’s also been a hang over of Brexit though

with the years of chronic underfunding for every service we have. The massive profiteering of basic utilities from private companies whilst not investing or improving.
the huge debts we now have as a result of all of the above

how is that going to be fixed?
