Pensioners will pay tax. Evil.

on the money they got tax free, and which can often be huge amounts of money, my ex will get around £50k a year from her private pension. plus her state pension, and with an income much better than many workers; that should be taxed.

Starmer is floundering on tax

She keeps shutting him up and not Sunak

Score draw so far I reckon. Sunak annoying and techy and got laughed at but landing some blows with Labour tax plans, especially with pensioners who will be watching this.

Overall though it's all too shouty and rushed and don't think either are doing themselves too many favours.

did you enjoy funding the shiny_suited_tories who were cleverer than you with your own money.

This tax debate is stupid, from both of them, especially Starner actually. Why tie your hands when you have a comfortable lead in the polls and when you're probably just going to have to. Stupid debate.

Did you claim business expenses and thus by your own logic avoid tax?

[steviewevie]

I think the football question confuses. He actually wanted to talk about football.

think that was a tweet aimed at Sunak ? 

[steviewevie]

Thank god that's over. Ridiculous debate. Sticking with the score draw. Tory team will be happy with that £2000 tax thing and taxing pensioners, Starner didn't deal with that very well  At same time Sunak was kind of annoying.

your tax avoiding pension enriched more than just you. are you going out of your way to prove tax avoiders aren't the smart ones?

[Ryan1984]

The media are claiming Sunak won last night. Start of the big Tory resurgence?

He probably did win... especially with that dodgy tax claim. Starmer should have dealt with it but just looked a bit flummoxed. That may well narrow the polls, how much by we'll have to see. Tories will keep using that now, another 92 tax bombshell thing?

[steviewevie]

Sunak more used to these TV debates yes he's annoying yapping over everyone, but he got his message across, labour are going to put up taxes heaven forbid.
