Rishi

Re: Rishi

Such a ridiculous statement. That's why he spent billions supporting peoples jobs in lockdown, has risen the minimum wage significantly, raised the National Insurance tax thresholds by record amounts and just introduced a progressive tax policy to fund the NHS to help fund social care for those who earn the least.

On the wider question, it's both. Something of a smear, but certainly in the public interest.

I refuse to give any UK Government much credit for what they did with Covid - they were duty bound to introduce things like the furlough scheme. Are all of those people who have been critical of the recent spring statement/budget voicing ridiculous opinions as well?

It is absolutely ridiculous for you to say, with no evidence whatsoever that the chancellor has "zero empathy for the poorest in society" It's just a ridiculous irrational thing to say

If he was preparing the table for the great reset then these are precisely the moves he would make. That's why I prefer timelines over todays headline outrage.

No, it’s just a different opinion to yours that’s all - it is allowed you know.

Re: Rishi

Identity politics, I remember folk going after Cherie after their dodgy £6.45million purchase . I'm sure if you dig deep enough there's tax avoidance everywhere it's a natural thing to do ( not give yer money away if you can find a loophole)

Gotta feeling this is a nos 10 leak .

What u gotta factor in Rishi is a Cummings man and appointment.

Still think he's got something about him

Sure it's a natural thing to, spot of tax avoidance. Most people would maybe draw the line at the actual Chancellor of the Exchequer holding permanent residency in another country and avoiding tax though. Not you though

Re: Rishi

No 10 death of a thousand cuts . Cummings/ appointment mate hung out to dry, pity besides his wealth I think he'd make a decent first black UK PM .

He'd be an amazing first black UK PM. Amazing in that he'd have to overcome not being black in the first instance and if he can do that, then he's capable of anything.

A Chancellor of the Exchequer who was also a permanent resident of USA it seems.

Just imagine what would be happening if a non Tory Government were behaving like this.

This Government is beyond corrupt, we literally get stories of corruption every single day and yet you still get people defending it.

Obviously not only this Government.

Re: Rishi

The usual dose of healthy scepticism should be applied to this but some economists claiming that the UK would lose £7bn under Labours non dom plans. I think the reality is that if we force someone to do 100% of their tax in one country or another, then we risk getting 0% more often than 100%. I must say, it doesn't really strike me as fair that money made in India on the back of Indian workers is now paid to the British state. A whiff of colonialism about it.

When you say some economists presumably you mean the company mentioned in the article, Blick Rothenberg, the tax and advisory firm.

Here is Blick Rothenberg, the tax and advisory firm advising non-doms on how they could help them minimise their tax liability.

Hence stating the healthy dose of scepticism thats needed with these predictions!

Still, what if they are right?
