BREAKING
Rishi Sunak's tax return has just been published.
In tax year 2022/23 he made c£2.3m.
He paid £520,000 in tax.
All legal.
An effective tax rate of c 23% as a lot of it was capital gain (eg profit on share sales) not income.
We don't know which company shares he earned these millions from, or where he holds his shares, as he holds his wealth in a "blind trust"....which is blind to the rest of us.
Employees generally pay much higher rates of tax + national insurance.
Rishi Sunak's new anti-union legislation means when workers democratically vote to strike, they could be forced to work and sacked if they don’t. Join the campaign to protect the right to strike. https://t.co/jFXZdeLwwl via @megaphoneuk

To those saying "yeah, but Labour never had free school meals over holidays."
You are correct.
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the Labour Government from 1997 decided to lift 950,000 children our of poverty instead.
Turns out when you cut poverty, you don't need free meals.
We can’t remove external problems at will, but in terms of our inner world we can develop tolerance, forgiveness and contentment. If we have developed peace of mind, we can remain calm no matter what happens in the outside world.
Nobody wants houses in our neighbourhood to flood, but we need to consider the impact on this precious nature reserve too!
