@wjprescott@DanNeidle You could start by gradually merging income tax and NI so that pensioners end up paying the same marginal rate on income as those in work.

@ayeshahazarika@TimesRadio Re Blair's intervention, I find it odd to be told to embrace AI by someone who was for years reluctant to even embrace e-mail. I also think his views will have little or no practical impact, because few in the Labour Party have any time for him.
@JohnRentoul@JohnApplebyLD Suppose you have Β£10000 in assets, I have Β£50000. Twenty years later you have Β£20000, I have Β£100000. Has wealth inequality between us increased ?
