@borderscotguy @IsabelOakeshott @Conservative @ScotNational "If it was only to 2011" What?!? Do you think the effects of such a massive financial crash was fully resolved in 2011?!? The BoE bailed out banks to the tune of 100s of £bns. This debt was to be paid back over at least 10 years

Of course the whole course of the economy changed

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@borderscotguy @IsabelOakeshott @Conservative @ScotNational But surely this graph is a criticism of Gordon Brown's 2008 financial crash!

@bmay Brendan you are drinking too much of the koolaid.

It is actually true

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@Femi_Sorry Femi. He is not supposed to know who you are. He wears that suit every day. He has a job.

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@IainDale Iain, you are being overly pedantic. Instead of sniping and muckraking, close ranks behind a leader and get ready for elections.

Look at Starmer. He's more boring than an episode of Cross Questions on LBC. But they are all behind him and moving forwards

@NealOKelly @AndrewBrookLdn @Femi_Sorry @michaelgove Femi is "only superficially" a journalist

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@Femi_Sorry This questioning achieved nothing. People voted. Twice. You didn't like how they voted

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@Femi_Sorry Femi that's beneath you. You have never had to suffer in the 7/7 or Arianna Grande terror attacks

Please don't use their suffering in your jokes.

Delete this tweet and apologise

@JamesBrin4 @bmay Margaret Thatcher - 40p tax rate
John Major - 40p tax rate
Tony Blair - 40p tax rate
Gordon Brown - 40p tax rate

Elizabeth Truss - 40p tax rate

Lowering the rate from 45p to 40p results in INCREASED revenue, which helps precisely benefits.

@RhonddaBryant @trussliz What's wrong with smirking?

@FamblyGuy @montie @ShankerASingham It's not actually as much as people think

@pugw5sh @LeighAn98759742 @jcartlidgemp Those "excess funds" are their own earned income.

The entrepreneurial spirit of those currently on 110k - 140k will be dampened and discouraged by unnecessary government grabs. Theyll be motivated to aim higher for themselves+ the economy if they are allowed more of their income

@mulcs85 @ConHome Raising the corporation tax rate from 19% to 26%, and raising the national insurance levels to end up with the highest tax levels since 1976, was going to be 0% growth and electoral suicide.

It was correct to change these back to Gordon Brown levels.

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@mulcs85 @ConHome Believe me, Rishi Sunak didn't consult everyone in cabinet about every measure before announcing it

@ali00713 @ShankerASingham After we remove restrictive EU era mandates, proper supply side reform will deliver huge income for schools, hospitals, transport routes, and connectivity

@timespolitics So you're saying he's a currency gambler, and that he's "only superficially" a chancellor

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@ChrisCorney1 @ali00713 @ShankerASingham Chris, in 1988 when Margaret Thatcher decreased the rate from 60% to 40%, overall tax revenue increased. She then won the next election by a landslide

[Timothy @Timothy58401385]

@ali00713 @ShankerASingham Alison, you have this all backwards.

Margaret Thatcher - 40p tax rate
John Major - 40p tax rate
Tony Blair - 40p tax rate
Gordon Brown - 40p tax rate

Elizabeth Truss - 40p tax rate

Lowering the rate from 45p to 40p results in INCREASED revenue, which helps precisely benefits.
