@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
@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
@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.

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

@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
@ali00713@ShankerASingham Alison, you have this all backwards.
Margaret Thatcher - 40p tax rate
John Major - 40p tax rate
