@CPhilpOfficial You guys had 14 years. You promised an Australian-style, points-based immigration system. You delivered the Boriswave and Afghan Settlement Scheme #TwoCheeksSameArse
All true. Trouble is, his party increased stamp duty #TwoCheeksSameArse
In Britain today there is a tax that punishes ambition, traps families in the wrong homes, and quietly freezes our housing market in place.
You all know the one I mean. Stamp Duty.
It is a punitive tax on moving house. And that means it is a tax on living your life.
It punishes the young couple trying to buy their first home. It punishes the growing family who need another bedroom for a new baby. It punishes the worker who wants to move across the country for a better job. And it punishes pensioners who would happily downsize - freeing up larger homes for younger families - but simply cannot afford the tax bill.
The result is predictable. Fewer people move. Fewer homes come onto the market. And the ladder of home ownership becomes harder and harder to climb.
A healthy housing market should allow people to move to the right home, in the right place, at the right stage of life.
Stamp Duty does the opposite. It locks people in place.
Abolishing it would unlock Britain.
Young people would find it easier to buy their first property. Couples could upsize to start a family. Older homeowners could downsize without being punished by the taxman.
And when people move, the whole economy moves with them. More people moving means more work for builders, painters and renovators. More customers for local DIY shops. More business for furniture shops and tradespeople.
A single house move sets off a chain reaction of economic activity in communities right across the country.
Estate agents @WinkworthUK, who I have been out with this week, see buyers and sellers every day who have to face hugely punitive stamp duty bills.
And the evidence shows just how damaging stamp duty is. According to the @OBR_UK, a one percentage point increase in stamp duty can reduce property transactions by between five and seven per cent. Yet on this Government’s watch the stamp duty due on a £300,000 home will have doubled during their time in office.
But beyond the economics lies something deeper.
We @Conservatives believe that owning your own home gives you a real stake in society. It gives people roots in their community and pride in their neighbourhood.
So a future Conservative Government will abolish Stamp Duty on primary residences altogether. Finished. Gone. And we’ll pay for it by getting a grip on government spending - including £23 billion in welfare reform because responsible tax cuts must be funded and must support economic growth.
If Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are serious about growth - about unlocking opportunity and fixing Britain’s broken housing market - they should do the same.
Because a country where people cannot afford to move is a country where social mobility stalls.
But a country where families can settle where they choose, not where they’re stuck? That is a freer, fairer, more dynamic Britain.
And it starts by scrapping Stamp Duty.
@LiberalVictoria 3 thousand views and a hand full of likes from a party that’s more irrelevant than a pork sausage sizzle outside a mosque in Saudi Arabia #EndTheDuopoly #TwoCheeksSameArse 🐷
@jackmrankin Your party gave him citizenship - against the rules - in 2021. Ministers, and even the then PM, @RishiSunak, called for his release. The Uniparty is dying #TwoCheeksSameArse
@RobertJenrick All true. As is the fact that Priti Patel gave him citizenship, James Cleverly lobbied for his release and Tory MPs and peers signed the letter calling for the same #TwoCheeksSameArse
@johnredwood It would be great news, if we could believe it. Sadly, I don't. That's because it was the Conservatives that introduced the ban. #TwoCheeksSameArse
This is both the best and the worst thread I've ever seen from a prominent politician. Best because it identifies big problems and offers workable solutions. Worst because she was an enthusiastic backer of the flawed policies in office, less than 18 months ago #TwoCheeksSameArse
Want growth? To reduce poverty? Improve living standards?
Here’s a revolutionary idea - MAKE ELECTRICITY CHEAP.
We could cut everybody’s electricity bills by 20% tomorrow - here’s how👇🏾🧵
@SaulStaniforth @ZackPolanski It makes almost no difference whether the Tories or Labour get in #TwoCheeksSameArse
@TorstenBell Meanwhile bond yields hit highest level since 1998 when #WHO was in power ?

cenarse retirement run and fweakins world title win tanked the boom period... #TwoCheeksSameArse
Interesting observation for those who say anti-AEW and anti-WWE is the same. If AEW does its record low number tomorrow, how many tweets will I get about the sky is falling? WWE just did the record low for Raw. Anti-WWE fans aren't gloating about it and saying WWE is dead at all.
@Penyrheolgerrig @ElectionMapsUK @BMGResearch Of course Clarence.... Meanwhile in the real world, @reformparty_uk go from strength to strength.
The public have have enough of the globalist UniParty.

@alexwickham @BloombergUK Ah, more austerity. She should dust off an Osborne speech and use that to save her some time. #twocheekssamearse
Fascinating watching Labour undo all the left-wing Tory policies to make the country more right-wing. #twocheekssamearse I'd ban packed lunches. All kids get free nutritious school meals made with high quality domestic produce. Decent range of options too.
Exc: A million children face being stripped of free school meals, with the Treasury refusing to extend protections that will lapse next month.
Bridget Phillipson and DFE have been lobbying to extend "transitional protection", so parents moving from legacy benefits on to UC don't see their kids lose out.
Internal government estimates suggest that otherwise, 1 million kids may lose their access to FSM by the end of the decade.
Schools are also set to lose out, as fewer pupils on FSM will mean less money paid out through the "Pupil Premium".
Despite frantic lobbying over the past few weeks, I'm told an extension is "completley off the table" due to cost.

After many failed attempts, the Tories finally have the leader they always wanted

Ex Tory foreign sec James Cleverly says “this weekend the prime minister has not put a foot wrong”
@MarinaPurkiss Their "staggering corruption and incompetence" is soon to be eclipsed by Starmer and the Labour shower of fools.
#TwoCheeksSameArse
Vote Labour, get 11% cuts to spending and WAR MACHINES!!! #twocheekssamearse
On Friday I wrote the PM got that defence spending will have to rise, a lot – and the Treasury would now have to decide how to answer the Paul Weller question: kidney machines or rockets and guns? NHS safe, obviously, but clear war won't be the fiscal paradigm shift some hope for

So, #Labour want to gain political consensus regarding #socialcare reform! That shouldn't be too difficult, as they are exactly the fucking same as the #Tories! #Twocheekssamearse #kickingthecan
