He’s another R.Kelly, I bet there’s a lot of other pop stars like him who’s dirty laundry will get aired over the years too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not just pop stars. They have sheet on everybody. Look how complete and encompassing Diddy's case is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I read about his house on Long Island. Cameras in all the bedrooms? Maybe the big Diddy was trying to blackmail some of his guests?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blackmailing people for whom? Can't be for himself as he's very rich, no?

I don’t

There is a free phone number that will fill out the forms over the phone on pensioners behalf. True story.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes me dear old mother would love to be sat on the phone answering 200 odd questions with some stranger.

Haha, you don't get it, just like Starmer.
------------------------------------------------------------------
How has your dear old mother survived the last 50 years?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eating, drinking and heating.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I know you’re totally against socialism in any way but I thought even you may help your own mother.

Pull the ladder up Pawl, you’re okay.

National polling trends among Independent voters by @foxnewspoll

Aug. 8
🟥 Trump: 51% (+8)
🟦 Harris: 43%

Sept. 16
🟦 Harris: 51% (+12)
🟥 Trump: 39%

Net 20 point swing towards Harris

Unreal turnaround, I wonder what prompted it??

Thinking about this however, maybe a measure he put in place that profits over a stated level should see refunding of subsidy in proportion? Not sure how we could do it, but that would seem fair.
.........

Or specific lower tariffs for the fix income pensioners and the U.S. receiving low paid. Social safety nets are just being exploited and this tax purse dipping has been ignored by successive gifts.

I just think that would be a managerial nightmare to control, especially with the ‘regulatory” of Force Majeure events in these times.

Perhaps expand the “rebate” of public subsidies which can then be redistributed to those who have likely already been means tested for credits or the like? Maybe even require the companies to rebate customers directly and put the onus on them.

With this though, there would have to be additional ,ensure to ensure there is no dredging of dividends or pay awards (other than again stated levels) that reduces profit.

Or even more courageously, be forced to demonstrate infrastructure improvements and modernisation that in itself creates more job opportunities.

Just out of interest, a question for the right wingers.

With the pension set to increase by £460 are pensioners better or worse off so far?

It’s a one word answer. Let’s see who has the decency to answer honestly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pensions went up £690 in the last increase and, like you said, are due to go up again by £350-£460 next year. Then there is this;

"The issue of who needs the support is at the heart of the change to the WFP. Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show that the proportion of wealthy over-65s has grown.
In 2010, 9% of this group lived in a household that had a total wealth – including assets like their home and pensions – above £1 million. Ten years later, this rose to 27%."

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gegy4r9ndo.amp

What's wrong with stopping pensioners who put the £300 towards their next holiday, a meal out or pocket money for the grandkids?

We've got one of the most complex tax books in the world, loophole here, avoidance scheme over there. I'm sure we have the accountants and managers to create a workable, equitable system.

And that’s before they pay even more through luxury purchases, VAT, travel, council tax, stamp duty etc etc.

Dearie me

May just be me, but I find it hard to take any Tory’s criticisms of Starmer and Labour’s time in office in good faith. If you believe that they care that a politician got free stuff and that they care about people being poorer, then I have some magic beans to sell you.

It's ridiculous the things some of them are coming out with these days. They saw nothing wrong and backed Tories 14 years hoping they'd get rid of or stop black and brown people coming here. Instead the Tories went on to break immigration records several times over, while weakening the country politically, socially and economically and helping to weaken the EU and even NATO. Even refused to share covid patents FFS.

Fecking geniuses.

Practically everyone avoids paying tax they are not legally obliged to pay. To think otherwise is fanciful.

And those individuals paying any tax into our economy are included. How could they not be?

3 months or 14 years?

Difficult to be definitive.

Maybe from proclaiming that everything was from then on going to be completely transparent and above board for all to see whilst leading by example might be a point.

Also having 14 years in opposition to plan things in full knowledge of what was wrong might give a bit of a head start.

Winning an election with practically no agenda or methodology and a support of 34% of voters isn’t exactly storming stuff when it would have been a significant shock were they to lose with the last lot of incompetents.

And maybe cease with the being stunned at everything. It just really doesn’t wash at all.

Stop feeding us this bullsheet. The rich are taking all the money and should therefore pay all the tax. Tories like ve percentages because they are sheet.

By 2023, the richest 50 families in the UK held more wealth than half of the UK population, comprising 33.5 million people. If the wealth of the super rich continues to grow at the rate it has been, by 2035, the wealth of the richest 200 families will be larger than the whole UK GDP. The UK is home to around 4.6% of all millionaires globally

Compared to other developed countries the UK has a very unequal distribution of income, with a Gini coefficient of 0.351. The UK has one of the highest levels of income inequality in Europe, although it is less unequal than the United States.

The four richest Britons - from the Forbes real-time billionaire list, as of 30th November 2022 - are Michael Platt - $15.2 billion (£12.5 billion), the Hinduja brothers - $15.1 billion (£12.4 billion), James Ratcliffe - $13.1 billion (£10.8 billion) and Christopher Hohn - $7.9 billion (£6.5 billion). They have a total wealth of $51.3 billion (£42.2 billion) compared with a total wealth of $46 billion (£38 billion) held by 20 million Britons. All of these have off shored billions and use tax havens.

the ultra-rich are the biggest individual contributors to the climate crisis. The richest billionaires, through their polluting investments, are emitting a million times more carbon than the average person. The wealthiest 1% of humanity are responsible for twice as many emissions as the poorest 50 percent and that by 2030, their carbon footprints are set to be 30 times greater than the level compatible with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement.

Not all this concerns the UK, but you get the drift. It is just and fair to tax these mofos up to 90% depending on what they do. Gambling companies and oil companies should be left with very little money after taxes and paying staff. If you say anything they call you a communist and you are found sleeping with the fishes.
