@bphillipsonMP Not free. Paid for by tax payers…

@Tudorman7 @FUDdaily @ZiaYusufUK As you say, governments write the laws, so we are already open to the authoritarian governments you imagine. But as you note they also abide by them. Reform cannot ignore the courts. They will have to make changes, and get those changes past parliament. Democracy.

@ZiaYusufUK @BathJoanna This seems like a complicated tax policy that will undoubtedly have unintended consequences…

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@ajbonner @LoftusSteve Currently CGT is wiped at death. So while there may be arguments for housing levy, I suspect many people with higher value properties (and thus subject to this new CGT) would stick it out and die in the house. CGT wiped AND no IHT…

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@ajbonner @LoftusSteve Less tax, not more.

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@LoftusSteve And a good chunk of it is inflation, not real terms gain.

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@julianHjessop Absolutely needs to be indexed. And we need to be talking about less tax, not more!

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@Finumus1 @worstall The plan all along… Given the recent burst of cumulative inflation it’s long over due that indexation of CGT returned.

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@julianHjessop Indeed.

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@julianHjessop But it can? Parliament is sovereign. The current government *could* rejoin the EU if they wanted, whether right or wrong, however that is defined, ie morally, ethically, politically.

@Rhino_Records What's going on with the Rhino store? No longer ships to the UK, so no access to Rhino Reserves + a limited selection of Rhino High Fidelity via new UK store. Will ALL titles be available to UK? Also, the UK prices are steep compared to importing from US...Not happy right now!

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@Keir_Starmer This is a parody account, right?

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@AntonSpisak Or it could be a combination of both…

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@Steven1897001 @vickygrayson_ No negative consequences for those already in state education from the additional pupils?

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@billkruse @MerrynSW You haven’t seen this point raised anywhere else…?

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@grayso72 @ClarksonsFarm1 Define “fair share” please…

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@nicole_clash If AI will do most jobs (it may), that implies there will be some (important) jobs that need humans to do them. If humans are supplied UHI, what incentive remains to do those necessary jobs? Will it be compulsion?

Ultimately AI/ bots will do it all, but until then…?

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@imPenny2x Why is income even necessary at this stage?

[Mark Harding @Mark_Harding]

@pix3lpro @PeterMcCormack @campbellclaret I’m curious, what do you think it is that GDP per capita is showing here?

[Lucy Connolly @LucyTCWife]

How dare you?

Just how dare you??

I want to cry with anger reading this post.
Let alone those beautiful girls families.

You skipped to Southport, lobbed a wreath in the direction of all the other tributes. Ran away and called everyone FAR RIGHT that were heartbroken, angry and scared for their own children.

You have caused the biggest divide this country has ever seen.

You locked people up for being angry and scared, some of which never came out alive.

You actively withheld information about that murderer and his family.
You knew the level of failure that led to that thing taking the lives of children and injuring many more.
You forbade any other MP to raise questions about that murderer or the situation.

You doubled down and blamed us!
Distraught mums and worried parents.

If it was possible to despise you anymore I do, having read this post.
