@Taj_Ali1 That’s exactly what the government are doing by taxing us more - but most of us don’t go on strike.

@SaulStaniforth What is the figure then?

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@ToryWipeout Not strictly true. They will if they pay more than £2k into their pension. And freezing thresholds makes people worse off in real terms if not nominal.

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@LaneyGH @AmeliaRocket1 @GeorgeFoulkes @bottomley50 Or a public sector

@AmeliaRocket1 @GeorgeFoulkes @bottomley50 Tell me you know nothing about running a business without telling me you know nothing about running a business.

@mybrainfarted17 @CharlesHThyme @Angelcalling5 The top 1% earn 12.6% of all income, and the bottom 50% earn 24.4%.

The top 1% pay 26.6% of all income tax (2.1x their fair share) whilst the bottom 50% pay 9.9% of all income tax (0.4x their fair share).

@RMTunion Finally some thought for the other passengers.

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@ChillaxBcn @wesstreeting The first responders were the other passengers on the train, who never get a mention.

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@ASLEFunion No thoughts for the other passengers that were on the train will undoubtedly be traumatised - why?

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@RMTunion No thoughts for the other passengers on board though

@NigelMusicNZ @cjsnowdon What’s the basis for your statement Nigel?

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@cjsnowdon Plus the employers and employees NIC’s

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@Chris_EvansMP Unfortunately Chris the arrogance of this Labour government is off the scale. Lessons won’t be learnt, it will only get worse - how the party thinks it can tax its way to prosperity is beyond comprehension.

Best of luck and maybe time to defect before it’s too late?

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@BurnsideWasTosh @darrenpjones Completely agree. What a utopia.

@colinrtalbot If a house is in someone else’s name it’s not yours is it 🤦‍♂️

@danwootton The Robot 🤖 is malfunctioning

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

@TitsyTheDwarf @southlondonjohn @BornToReform @SimonLester24 @LindaAizlewood @louderry @LBC Maybe. Time will tell.

Although she should be held to a higher standard than Joe Average. As Housing Minister, there is simply no excuse for not knowing the rules no matter how complicated.

@Adrian_Hilton It’s because they’re on the side of the angels 😇

[Richard 🇬🇧 @richierisk]

She was deemed to have an interest as her son was the main (possibly only) beneficiary of the trust and he was under 18. These rules are pretty well established to stop tax being avoided. For example you can’t just put £100k of your money into a minor child’s name to make use of their personal allowances - you pay tax on their interest at your marginal rates. They are the rules, and ignorance of them is no defence whether we like Mrs Rayner or not.
