Apparently even the rats in the Starmer Gang nest are talking about ditching him.

What good would that do though - they'd just replace him with another neo-liberal, austerity dealing, genocide enabler.

Evening.

This is the sort of mindset and cry-arsing that underpins much of the likes of Pete's moaning in here:


A middle-class family with one child attending a private school would be hit by an extra £7,730 of taxation next year.

This assumes the household is made up of two adults each with a salary of £55,910, the average wage of those in the top 20 per cent of earners, according to the Office for National Statistics.

This includes £3,520 owing to the ongoing tax threshold freeze and £1,410 as a result of the increase in employer national insurance, 60 per cent of which will be passed on to workers and consumers according to the Office for Budget Responsibility.

It also includes a £2,626 increase in additional private school fees, after the VAT raid comes into effect, an extra £14.50 of shopping bills owing to the “grocery tax” and £159 in potential council tax rises.

A family looking to buy a second home would also be hit with an extra £5,975 in stamp duty, bringing their total tax hike to over £13,000.


Lol. Top 20% of earners, private schools, 2nd homes... Get in the bin. Half of that list of moans ain't Labour specific either.

And rightly so they should be taxed more.

I’ve took out all the opinion and angling, and have left the relevant facts.

And I’m fine with this.

Bolded the scary bits. They've hand picked the trump success beliefs, specific to 'grocery'. They're trying to play to the same 'dollar in your pocket' hysteria.

Where reform runs with this is something else. Since they're happy with less Polish tradespersons (electricians, plumbers, joiners, brickies) and the labour associated, which has in turn affected the way below minimum wage working the fields harvesting crops persons.

"Cake and eat it to" I believe is the phrase.
 
I get that the public finances are an utter shambles, but why is it "right" that they should be taxed more?
I'm of the view that higher tax rates should apply to higher earners. I appreciate that will be a different view to yourself and others. Ideally government would go after the super rich who avoid paying taxes entirely, or pay minimal through dodging the system, but that wish will seemingly never be granted.
