To California Grin

Damn I better sell the jet!!

She's actually a very assured speaker; she's just not a robot.

I think dnac needs a hearing test.

LadyofRutshire · 30/10/2024 13:14

Was that a dig at Megan and Harry re the private jet 🤣

I think she sounds ok considering all the noise and disruption in there. Why do they have it after PMQs when everyone is riled up?

cyclingmum67 · 30/10/2024 13:14

Showing her utter lack of class by constant cheap jibes against Sunak and Hunt.

Phineyj · 30/10/2024 13:15

I'm not finding her smug. It's good to have a few jokes. She's managing the "temperature" quite well and not getting talked over. Must be hard.

Oooh cutting draft duty, good news for pubs

No it was a dig at Sunak

TheyAllFloatDownHere · 30/10/2024 13:15

Good news on the mineworker's pensions scheme, I think - that one came out of nowhere

A dig at Sunak, who wasn't paying attention

the80sweregreat · 30/10/2024 13:15

I'm sure that Mr Hunt and Mr Sunak will fire back a few things at her in a minute !
It's what they do

After 35 years of working we have finally got some money behind us and thinking of estate planning. As my son said, “you mean they even tax you when you’re dead”. Yes son, yes. Despite paying income tax, capital gains tax, tax on savings, VAT, road tax, council tax, etc etc etc, they still come for you after you’re dead. At 40% potentially.

40% after the first million, yes, is a million not enough for your kids?

Phineyj · 30/10/2024 13:16

I should think a dig at Sunak as he has an American green card and (I believe) property in California.

Phase2 · 30/10/2024 13:16

Oh interesting on non-doms

FastBeater · 30/10/2024 13:16

I think Sunak and Hunt were just pretending not to pay attention.

LadyofRutshire · 30/10/2024 13:16

Thanks for the info re Rushi

Non Dom a big one.

I'm horrified that inheritance tax will apply to pensions. How is this meant to work within married couples?!

SWbungalowlady · 30/10/2024 13:16

I’m fascinated by her hair. I have no idea why 😂 (it’s just SO tidy!)

Why? And you think it’s never been the other way round?
the private jet joke landed well I thought.

Noisylass · 30/10/2024 13:16

Abolishing non dom ok great also those that are saying she has no class cos she’s having a dig at the tories well where was you when hunt slated labour to when he did budget

Phase2 · 30/10/2024 13:17

I agree @DeedlessIndeed I'm not in tax anymore but I remember those calculations
