@luxrnes@RupertLowe10 Inheritance tax is also an outrage.
It taxes the same money again after death.
Both taxes suppress social mobility.
You build something for your children then the state takes a cut.
These taxes do not help the poor.
They just keep more people stuck where they are.
@luxrnes@RupertLowe10 Sesible and moderate. Taxation is essential to a functioning society, yet it should never push people below a reasonable standard of living, nor should it favour those who refuse to work. Stamp duty is an outrage.
It punishes people for moving up or moving on.
@Rawlikesueshe The guy likes waves and being in the sea. WTF has it got to do with you when he decides to jump in? Stick to knitting and shouting at your telly.
@UKJackery any idea why my Portable Power Station Explorer 1000 has just failed? Only used periodically. It's never been below about 40% until today when it had a laptop plugged in, was at about 90% and suddenly dropped to zero. This is an expensive discretionary spend at around ยฃ1000 that was expected to last up to 10 years (as per your description) and it is relied upon as an emergency backup. The unreliability is disappointing.
@Keir_Starmer You have zero plans. Years in oppositionand you're only now looking for inspiration. This government is an absolute farce and no better than any of the previous in the past few years. You should step down and call for another general election.
I've just learned that Joseph travelled for 4 days, with his pregnant wife on a donkey, to pay his taxes to fund Herod's projects. He was heavily burdened and didn't complain. And neither should other non-working people living in the present. It's for the common good.
@RachelReevesMP Yet another out of their depth politician bungling their role. You have no coherent plan and demonstrably, you have little or no competence to manage nation-scale economics.
@PoliticsJOE_UK@PrivateEyeNews Well played Mr Hislop Sir. I'm celebrating your entirely justifiable confrontation with that sanctimonious pr1ck with a magazine subscription to @PrivateEyeNews
