@RobUK1984 @Lyndonx "Fair" is a opinion nothing else.

@nickwebb2017 Sky may want the Gloucestershire Glamorgan fixture pushed back for evening tv.

@CitySamuel If only we could find 12 care workers out of 9 million economically inactive people.

@EdwardJDavey Aren't you the person who took money from a Chinese spy ?

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@acrendic @paxangloceltae They have swallowed the mantra that immigration boosts the economy.
Nothing is more toxic to a govn than a recession.
Therefore, high immigration is good politics.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@MrWinMarshall We've got 9 million economically inactive people. Why do we need to go to Cameroon to fill 12 jobs.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@TaxJusticeUK We have a spending too much problem, not an insufficient tax problem.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@stuey_beef There is a belief in both parties that immigration grows the economy.
That is any immigration irrespective of the financial means or qualifications of the immigrants.

@cenkuygur You are wrong here.
Every player must be treated the same.
I would say the same if a Belgian player was given exceptional treatment.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@Frances_Coppola @Leftwood And even if you don’t put in a penny, you qualify for pension tax credits.
And that is virtually the same.
Except the year the WFA was cancelled.
That year, pension tax credits were more.

@FinanceTiger The triple has effectively been replaced by the triple lock minus your marginal tax rates.
It genius the govn can claim the triple lock but it's been cut st 20%

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@GillianMcKeith The govn needs colossal amounts of money. It borrowed 23.3 billion in May alone.
It is incapable of cutting spending, so taxes will rise. The only question is who pays.
It won't be the poor. They are skint.
It won't be the rich. They are mobile.
Only the middle can be taxed.

@JaneSim66 The MOD employs 55000 civil servants.
God knows what they do all day.

@RonDeSantis It's best to keep quiet and have people think you are an idiot then to open your mouth to confirm it.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@Bornawoman99 @goldstone_tony No, i prefer not to steal a living.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@Bornawoman99 @goldstone_tony Indeed, the public sector is grotesquely overpaid. Lazy is inefficient and a cancer in the economy.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@JohnHann04 Putting UK borrowing into context.
There are 29m dwellings in the UK subject to council tax.
In May, the government borrowed 23.3 billion pounds.
If each of the 29m dwellings had an invoice to cover just May"s borrowing. The invoice would be £803.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@Sacha_Lord The answer is to reduce corporation tax to zero. You may need to tax profits going offshore. But profits remaining in the UK will either be re-invested or paid as dividends.
In so, dividend taxes are applied.
We may then repatriate profits from parasite countries like Ireland.

[Ian Lane @IanLane10]

@Bornawoman99 @goldstone_tony We are not talking about salary.
We are talking about employer pension contributions. Which are paid at a rate of 9 times the private sector.
It is not dependent on qualification. You can be a surgeon, a binman, or a dinner lady.

@AllForProgress_ All govns has a draw called "just too hard to bother with". That is where welfare reform is, alongside immigration and public sector pensions.
