Yep, people hear trickle used as this buzzword that must mean that they’re sharing the wealth. The reality is that regardless of the yachts, private jets, penthouses, holiday homes, second and third homes they own day to day they spend a significantly less percentage of their expendable earnings...

There is of course the scenario that actually this changes nothing for the Tories or maybe actually make things worse. In my experience UKIP and the Brexit Party has always taken more votes of Labour than the Tories. The opposite is also true of the Lib Dem’s, they take seats of the Tories...

BUT ITS NOT BREXIT!!! Talk about overplaying your hand. Trump will be upset.

Including a tax cut?

Was one his bumbling contradiction of his own policies while visiting Northern Ireland? Even by Boris’ standards it was especially non coherent, bumbling, rambling.

At the rate both Labour and conservative candidates are having to pull out (and in equal numbers) because of historic social media posts it’s gone way past the point of it even being a worthy argument of look what this candidate from ‘insert party name here’ said. We’ve entered the realms of...

Can’t see it Otis. What does it say.

TBF I used the number Eastwoods Dustbin used in the original conversation. I appreciate that you could use a number that contradicts it hence I said I understand where you’re coming from but the reality is to lose enough profit from the difference to negate employing someone full time on the...

It’s already starting to smell like the 2017 Conservative campaign. Attack Labour’s plans while not being able to explain their own. Both Sajid Javid and Kwasi Kwarteng have been on TV this morning banging on about how they’ve done their sums on Labour’s manifesto (worth pointing out that it’s...

The big sell to the public also was that the tax cuts would drive up wages as corporations will have more money to spend on wages. This of course has either never happened or not happened to the extent promised to the man in the street. “Surprisingly”.

Although I get what you’re saying the reality is that the difference on £50k profit a year isn’t even enough to employ 1 person full time on minimum wage and by a long shot. In a sustainable business this isn’t going to be a business killer.

That depends on how much dividends you’re receiving and what you’re paying yourself as a wage. Most people I know who take a dividends pay themselves a wage just under the 40% tax bracket and then pay them self a dividends that takes them way over that. So even at 26% they’re on an earner.

Which is still less than he would have paying as income tax on the same amount. He’s still on a winner.

My household has lost more than £20 per month in tax credits in recent times and our combined household income wouldn’t put us in the £80k tax bracket. People earning over £80k a year will have to do what people earning under £80K a year have to do when government policies take money of them...

Earning from his dividends. He’ll be paying himself a wage week in week out or month in month out.

Isn’t corporation tax paid on profits not turnover?

My eldest daughter who is 12 has a school friend who’s in this exact scenario and has been pretty much from the start of primary school. It’s scandalous, she’s been robbed of her childhood by a lack of social care.

Still. At least the party membership isn’t full of islamophobics Poll reveals Islamophobia rife among UK Conservatives

Conflict of interest New conflict of interest row at EHRC as second board member joins law firm taking government work

Apparently Boris has carried on today how he left of yesterday. Incoherent ramblings. To Nottingham school children this time. He seems intent on making Diane Abbott look an articulate intellectual.
