@justdavenow89@PolitlcsUK That's not what he's commenting on though, it's the pressure from public opinion. There are more for it than against currently.
@Juve38Wa98021@PolitlcsUK It's a redistribution of current tax receipts, no new money is needed. The mayor's will raise funds directly from taxation, they get what they get.
@chairmanMAO_92@KEdge23@PolitlcsUK Fiscal devolution wasn't specifically mentioned, however Reeves has already set out plans to do exactly this within the treasury anyway. It's not really a new direction or policy. I'm all for it, goes hand in hand with the manifesto pledges.
@Elon_Era_ai@alojoh@teslayoda Musk is a billionaire and makes money by pumping his stock at the expense of his fellow shareholders and robbing all of our pensions with a dodgy IPO. Not to mention he ruined Twitter with bots.
@Polymarket Completely justified as well. Nukes are about dealing with existential threats, the US has proved it is a threat. Doesn't matter that you hate them, the narrative was gifted to them by Trump.
@MDyeSocial@thomson_xyz@DanNeidle@HenryPryor NYC can not tax the income of a wealthy individual that commutes in from another state, but they can on their 2nd homes. UK doesn't have an issue anywhere near as big as they do.
@PolitlcsUK Always remember they aren't really your ally, they inherited a relationship from 2 world wars. It wasn't like that before, and it isn't like that for the younger generations coming through now. They are less British culturally than ever before.
@SaulStaniforth Bet you there's more millionaires thinking they can just leave instead. The idea is daft because the majority would change their behaviour and that ยฃ24bn in tax drains away quickly, as does the investment and jobs they create. They just need to pay fair tax without evasion.
@danak2@TharriesYT He certainly wouldn't be fluffing his WASPI or prisoner release lines and getting away with it. Starmer had his house petrol bombed ffs
