Labour conference starts tomorrow...mix of celebration, doom and gloom, f**ked up optics, same old sleaze, and a generally bad start. They need to set out what they're actually trying to do in the various speeches.

 

Not looking great for budget either. Wealth taxes are tricky, they haven't worked very well when tried elsewhere, and people with massive wealth are just f**king off already. Businesses also worried about tax rises and investment drying up and that kills growth. Reeves should really break manifesto pledge and stick up income tax but she won't because trust and promises and democracy bollocks. At some point someone will have to be honest, we need higher taxes because we are on an unsustainable path, and that will have to come from the main taxes, closing funky loopholes or targeting non doms or raising cgt or inheritance tax isn't going to come close.. Maybe that will be after the next election when we have a hung parliament.

 

[steviewevie]

or do as Liz Truss suggests...

 

[steviewevie]

what he says

 

[Crazyfool01]

If any new tax, my moneys on a land tax framed as a way to get land bankers to release land for homes.

The thing that nobody has mentioned about this clothing donation sh*t is just how f**king embarrassing it is on a personal level.

Imagine earning a hundred odd grand and some rich dude says ’here you go young man, go and get yourself something nice’ and you say ’thanks dad!’.

Is it really that different to A listers (sport, film, music) getting all their stuff for free as well? The rich look after the rich.
