@funsizeIan With you. If you're referring to corporate capital flight, I totally agree. Day 1 fix for me. So it's the "fairness" of the tax system at the core of it for you then? We can all argue about spending, but it sounds like tax rates/types/thresholds etc that's the issue?
@funsizeIan Ok. When you say just and equitable, do you mean socialist (the state owns and plans all the means of production i.e. no private companies)? Something must drive you to promote the things you do - I'm interested in what that is, so I can understand the arguments.
@funsizeIan No examples. Just trying to genuinely understand. I don't think you're daft. Do you believe in the idea of a nation state? I'm just wondering what real drives left wing politics e.g. the philosophy. I'm not a fan of the 'state', but I like borders. Is that the crux?
I'm breaking cover. I've spent years frustrated by UK politics, so I've written down what I'd actually do instead. My ideas, refined with ChatGPT. No party affiliation, no gain sought-just proposed solutions rather than moaning. Genuine criticism welcome.

Met another family today who moved from Bradford to East Yorkshire. They told me a major reason was concern about cultural attitudes towards women and the environment their young daughter would grow up in. Second family I've met with the same story. What a sad state of affairs.
@andyburnham Let's be honest. Too many people. Too many benefits. Too many cultures. Deficit driven inflation. 2nd homes are extractive commodities. More lonely single people occupy homes. Lenders lend too much. Builders leave buyers in negative equity. You're policy just adds to the problem.
@andyburnham It won't work. Only the market can sustain the high street. The market needs small private business to compete with multinationals. Spend the money on reducing business rates, then pass a law to stop capital flight and make every business pays the same corp tax. That's a start.
@UKLabour No it isn't. Don't tell me what being British is. I'll decide. Assessing whether other cultures are unsafe to be around isn't racist. Humans looks for patterns all the time, it's part of how we evolved. #politiplaining
@zarahsultana You don't know anything about the real world of work or business. You've never created something from nothing, just like your PLP colleagues. That parasite has helped our economy 100x more than you will ever do. Ditch your ideals and try pragmatism.
@HowardRBeckett Yeah, he only employs 4000 people in the private sector in the UK, paying millions of ยฃ's in corporation tax... I'm not part of 'us' thanks. Do yourself a favour, and start reading economics.
