I wonder whether this will change when Starmer realises it affects his own landlord earnings.

 

Whether Labour MPs have principles will be tested by how much this gets watered down.

err..ok..

The point is the definition of working people that Starmer is floundering to explain...instead of just being clear that they are not going to increases on taxes from work, but are going to increase them on earnings from stock or property or whatever...in other words capital gains. Not sure why he has to continue to be so vague as if it's all tricks and traps.

hmm surely if it common knowledge you'd be able to find a source? I've personally not heard it before

Just realised that the reason they're not putting up income tax is because they'd have to pay it!

My google-fu isn't able to overload recency bias. I might try again later.

Maybe it's the donkey sanctuary field the Mail were all over a few years ago.

I was very much against these freeport things when they were coming out of the tory government, but now it's labour I very much support them.
