Thanks for the response. Would you say that people in the top 1% can pay 50% of their wealth? I mean if the number it started at began at say 150k would it make a difference?

I respect that it's a point of principle for yourself on this. I suppose I'm a bit more pragmatic, I'd look at how much money is required to run decent services and try to collect that in as fair a way as possible, and put more of the burden onto incomes that are as far away from people's essential earning as possible. However it doesn't make me right, it's just a different philosophical approach.

I'm in a bit of a rush atm mate but will respond to both your posts later when I've had chance to go through them
 


It's a valid opinion, and she backs up why that is with her reasoning. She says that she can see a chance at Labour being the largest overall party, but that a majority is beyond them.

Jess Phillips is one of the very few politicians working today that has both a general level of competency and is very passionate about the role entrusted to her. The abuse she gets for being a genuinely good politician and not blindly following soundbytes or absolute ideologies is sickening.
 
I’m not sure exactly that’s changed. I notice you still haven’t actually answered and have gone round the houses to avoid doing so.

Christ this is tedious. You make a statement which is demonstrably wrong, following it up with a load of other statements that are demonstrably wrong, then accuse me of refusing to answer a question that was based on something that was never said and which was actually answered.
 
It's not the fault.of business rates mate. small businesses are exempt and even more generally the rates only represent a small proportion of overall costs.

It's online, in the main.

Why go out and shop, usually when it involves paying for parking / transport, if you can just order it to your home. Who has the time if they have work/kids too?

In all honesty, the government really can only help the high street so much. At the end of the day the big stores are not gonna spend money on shops, rent and staff when they can just sell their products online for pretty much no cost.

Demonstrably wrong how exactly? You’ve been caught up in your own attempts, as ever, to take the intellectual and moral high ground without actually managing to give an answer which is a running theme throughout your posts whenever anyone points out a flaw. Suddenly the point you’ve made becomes completely different or people just don’t understand the master stroke that Labour have just made.

If anything is tedious it’s your unwillingness to give an answer or actually acknowledge that the Labour Party are capable of making poor decisions.

Yes, I mean it isn’t as if your first post on the thread yesterday had a quoted example directly before it of me blaming the Labour Party for wasting money and ruining a town centre or anything.

As for demonstrably wrong, that should be obvious. You’ve successively claimed you said something you didn’t, that I’d approved of the policy when no such statement was made and implied that I’d said Labour were not to blame for the waste when at no point had that been said.

What makes it even crazier is that this started with a post where I specifically said there should be no tax rises for anyone, which was last time I checked quite at variance with current Labour policy.

So this isn’t about taking the moral high ground, it’s about you having an imaginary argument.
 
I'm all for 'broad church' political parties (who do it instead of just saying it), but for Kate Hoey to fit into Labour under any leader in the last... well, ever, would require more of a cathedral than a church.
 
Has she ever been threatened with deselection? Seems a bizarre one, especially as she represents an overwhelming remain part of London so can't even say she's representing her constituents.
No idea mate, doubt she'd be endorsed for the next election like. Surprised her constituency aren't asking a lot of baffled questions.

Yeah had a vote of no confidence. Ignored it.

She has absolutely nothing to do with Labour, it really is quite odd. She even supports fox hunting.
