@jimthegiant They think higher taxes means being anti-capitalist/free markets. I'd point them to the Nordic countries who show both socialist and capitalist principles can co-exist in the same economy, very well in fact.
@Polyphemos1973@UnionJacked__@garyseconomics If you want to tax the broadest cohorts more, pay them more. I point you to the Nordic countries (mainly Denmark and Sweden) for the answer. And per million of population, they still create more unicorn companies than us, and have better functioning public services...
@Polyphemos1973@UnionJacked__@garyseconomics Countries with better functioning basic services and utilities tax more. Granted, they're also a lot more unionised, so pay workers more, they don't privatise and centralise basic services anywhere near as much. I'm not saying more tax only, but generally, yes, tax more.
@DrNeilStone Do you have any alternatives in mind? Nigel's busy arguing with a bin, Kemi's not ready, we've all forgotten about Ed, and Zack isn't exactly PM material.
@JeremyVineOn5@policylaila@Kevin_Maguire@theJeremyVine They can't be bothered because they've got important debates to have with an incoming Labour leader, a mayoralty in Greater Manchester, and a defence plan that needs to be funded somehow.
Funny how the "party of change" isn't interested in implementing actual change...
@LBC@RobertJenrick When Binface secures thousands of votes, and it shows people would rather vote for a talking bin than have Farage/Reform represent them, can you promise to never give these wasters another slot on your show @LBC? Because any other party would lose all credibility.
@jimthegiant The best outcome would be a strong articulate independent candidate from the local area stands.
If that doesn't happen, BRING ON THE BINFACE!

"Man at the back there..."
"Yes, I'd just like to ask...who's more full of s**t? A bin, or Nigel Farage?"
