Socialism at work.

First Labour cripple the jobs market by hiking NI and the minimum wage and imposing new job-destroying employment laws.

Now they’re reduced to offering cash bribes to employers to hire back those put on the dole by their own policies.

@AnthonyAinsdale Yes!

Blair’s comment on CGT relevant to Australia’s discussion

“…we have a fight between a ‘modernising’ wing of the Labour Party appearing to advocate rejoining the EU (and now equalising capital gains and income tax, something rejected by successive governments for good reason);”

[Margot @MargsAnne]

@RollingHedge Thank you for that very comprehensive answer ! How will people store wealth if not in their houses? Through share portfolios?

[Cut My Tax @CutMyTaxUK]

Why do they never learn?

Rachel Reeves' hikes in Stamp Duty have predictably led to lower revenues - a 6% decline so far.

Stamp Duty is a voluntary tax only paid if you choose to move house. If it's set high then people will either choose not to move or won't be able to afford to move.

CGT is another voluntary tax paid only if you choose to sell assets. Yet dim Labour luminaries like Streeting and Burnham are still arguing that it should be increased.

Both Stamp Duty and CGT should be scrapped.

BREAKING:

Angela Rayner tells @PaulBrandITV she has been cleared by HMRC of any wrongdoing over the purchase of her flat in Hove. She has now paid the outstanding £40,000 in stamp duty in full, with no additional financial penalty

She tells ITV HMRC found that she had taken ‘reasonable care’ in the purchase of the flat and did not deliberately avoid paying tax

It potentially clears the way for her to stand in the Labour leadership contest. She has ruled out a pact with Andy Burnham. “No... I’m not doing deals or anything like that.”

 “Well, I welcome HMRC's conclusion. And they've said that there wasn't any wrongdoing and that I didn't try to avoid paying tax or I wasn't careless in the way in which I conducted myself at the time when I was in government … I've accepted HMRC's finding and I've never wanted to avoid paying my tax.

“And for me, that was the most distressing thing, is that people felt that I was tax dodging or trying to set up trusts to avoid tax or being careless by not taking the appropriate advice. And HMRC have concluded that that isn't the case.

“I’ve chosen not to tackle HMRC on the ambiguity of the law. I think that's the correct thing to do. I've chosen to pay that additional tax because I never want to not pay my taxes.”

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

This Government is entirely wrong to ban foreign commentators from speaking at Robinson’s rally on Saturday

I will be formally challenging the Home Office, again, on the decision to prevent these individuals from entering.

I won’t be there myself, but many patriots will be and they deserve to hear lawful views in order to decide for themselves if they agree or not.

That is free speech.

Islamist extremists are personally welcomed by the Prime Minister, yet this group is banned.

It stinks.

Looking forward to Wednesday

@Steven_Swinford Sounds like it’s written by a high schooler. Also, everything she says is just ‘more of the same’. Labour (and the Tories) have implemented socialist policies for decades and we’re all paying the price.
