@CallumLyon This ..and all other countries brother.
Without taxes..mostly income tax on earnings, how does this country afford the services you use?
Your posts are nearly all just rage bait...right?
Better to ask who pays and how much?
An FOI shared with the Telegraph shows Treasury officials raised concerns that appointing Ray McCann to lead the loan charge review could be a "perceived conflict of interest"
7.5 years since this! @wesstreeting That proposed review of the effects of this #loancharge policy, never happened. Instead, a dressed up and non-independent 'McCann' review in 2025 to drive collections for a small group..which civil servants even managed to now make unworkable.
I’ve signed @EdwardJDavey’s cross-party amendment on the #loancharge. I have been convinced by constituency cases and evidence we’ve heard on the @CommonsTreasury that a review of the effects of this policy is required and, frankly, how @HMRCgovuk and promoters have behaved.
@MattMann3@DanNeidle The day Barrowman is in jail will be at least a minor victory. Getting the country's £ back will be harder, as will be retribution for the many #loancharge victims he was instrumental in ruining.
@DanNeidle I hope for a similar action on Water utilities directors, and possibly shareholders ..before the taxpayer coffers are raided to buy them back into public ownership. although perhaps harder to demonstrate the illegality of those dividend distributions.
@DanNeidle I assume the case is possible due to the inherent fraudulent nature of the structure, thus having alledgedly fallen foul of limited liability protection?
@ahonestmouthful@DanNeidle@SamCKx Your bio says [in caps] "I TRY TO NEVER BE PERSONAL OR ABUSIVE".
You might try harder?
The OP made a statement that isn't correct.
Dan points this out, and you childishly call him "an expert in dishonesty".
I hardly ever engage with these threads and I can see why.
@DanNeidle@SamCKx He flipped the question to ask Sally Nugent what she spends her salary on. (He's assuming that's her source of income).
He did not try to imply that he himself received the said £5M as a salary.
Poor post here imo.
@CallumLyon 2 and 4 (house prices, wages and inflation).
serious levies for foreign investors buying 🏘 for profit (that treasury never sees) -> create less demand, driving ⬇️ price. Look at Singapore!
Then productivity gains + less onerous employer tax..bingo...houses affordable for brits
@CallumLyon 2. The B word again right?
Anyone remember Jacob R.M. telling us all our beef would be cheaper post brexit because of the trade deals we could do with Aus and New Zealand?
@CallumLyon 1. Create the conditions for private sector landlords to thrive..and watch supply rebalance demand. Rent controls? Unlikely to work unless landlords aren't punished by squeezing their profits. It's 6th form economics. Anyone can do it except our labour government it seems. Andy?
@AndyBurnhamGM will you seek to properly end the horror of the tories failed #loancharge once and for all. Fact. The maths never worked for the treasury. Fact. Working people have been victimised, humiliated and in some cases ruined and for no net gain. 11 suicides. Enough now.
The Government and HMRC are going after #loancharge victims using unethical retrospective powers - forcing ordinary families into hardship, mental ill heath, bankruptcy and even suicide - but when it comes to the big guys...
@CallumLyon 1. 65% deflation? No.
But more £ in pockets, makes 350k feel more like 130k. better productivity driving costs down and wages up. This is where labour have failed so far.
2. Half the rent...no more landlords!?
3. No. But less employer taxes means more hiring.
4. 42.
