@mikemiddleton Applying the 2026 LE result to Great Yarmouth’s constituency borders gives
Great Yarmouth First/Restore 15,900
Reform 6,700
Tories 5,100
Labour 3,300
Green 2,200
LibDems 840
The lower total vote than at the GE is from lower turnout at the LE.
@RainTown@no1guncle Quite a speech for someone who still hasn't grasped that backs breaking was a metaphor for physical burnout and people leaving the country. All that effort to sound clever, and you still haven't addressed the actual point. Now get back to counting your pennies you doughball.
@no1guncle@RainTown Quick way to out yourself as having a low IQ by failing to understand a metaphor. Maybe the reason you don't earn much is because you're fucking stupid?
@RainTown@no1guncle How stupid are you? Businesses launch and grow in Britain, reach a certain scale, then get bought by American firms and the ownership, profits and future growth move abroad. We keep losing the industries and businesses that could create high paying jobs and wealth here.
@no1guncle@RainTown With these earners it's less about whether they can afford it and more about whether it's worth it. There were over 250,000 just two years ago if the number is falling, shouldn't we be asking why, rather than assuming we can keep taxing them more indefinitely?
@RainTown@no1guncle Until their backs break and they leave, as tens of thousands have been doing? No not every job should pay £200k I'm talking about the businesses and industries we've lost and continue to lose through offshoring and policies that make British industry increasingly uncompetitive.
@RainTown@no1guncle 0.6% for over £300k, 1% is over £200k all of which will pay more in tax than someone on £32k a year will pay over 20 years. We need more people earning this much not less.
@tcanham459 So you don’t care about the people who pay more in tax than they take out in public spending? What happens when they leave or stop contributing more than they receive? Who do you think picks up the bill then? The people you look down on are subsidising the system you rely on.
@dylanthomas91 Guess what fucktard, Wales also invaded every single one of those countries as we are part of the United Kingdom. Now scuttle back to your cave Gollum.
