Great that she’s having such a brilliant time, whilst her party cripples pensioners and attacks anyone that has tried to save for their future and then hands over the proceeds by capitulating to junior doctors, train drivers and no doubt anyone else that will ask.
What do you think should have been done about Doctors' pay? You seem very angry we can't just keep paying them less and less in real terms. If it makes you feel better they're still among the worst paid in Europe, America and Australia and much less than they were paid 10 years ago.

No, it's just an observation that people are more disengaged with politics now the election has happened and the Tories are out. It's pretty much true of all Governments which is why, 5 years out from the election, they tend to do the more unpopular stuff in the budget.

Assuming that individuals are in a financial position to be able to do so, I agree, but they're not. Some people have done extremely worthwhile, but low paid, jobs that benefit society or have been unable to
work at all because of caring responsibilities that save the taxpayer a fortune.

Offsetting losses is not much help in reality for a small business if there's a lean time where there is little or no money being generated.

Do they pay double taxation in the USA as we do when a contract has been deemed to be inside IR35?
In lean times small business owners are able to claim means tested benefits just like anybody else. However, the changw of calculation rules since the introduction of Universal Credit is now causing some problems (in particular for farmers) as is the use of a notional minimum income (whether actually earned or not) after one year.

Re: Here comes the tax rises

Labour before election: “Fully costed” for years stated & attacked Tories for wanting to reduce WFP. After elected make their lame excuses.

After election: Winter fuel payments stopped for 10 million.

Able to pay Train drivers £70K. That’s nothing to do with Tories. Can’t keep blaming them.

And now the cronyism, glasses for passes. Labour activists & supporters getting top civil service job, don’t ever fecking call Tories again.

Re: Here comes the tax rises

TFL drivers are paid from the TFL budget. It isn't given a government subsidy apart from infrastructure projects such as Crossrail. Some other train drivers outside of TFL were already paid £70,000k tho but that predates the election.

More than reasonable.

Re: Here comes the tax rises

Where does it say one is bad, one is good ?
Not that I would pay the slightest attention to the Daily Mirror anyway.
Not exactly known for their balanced articles.

I hope Mr Grove had a good holiday as well.

Re: Here comes the tax rises

Are they tax payers ?
I thought the complaint was that the "rich" keep avoiding paying tax.

It’s the narrative Paul, come on.

Tory ……….

Labour…….
Quote:

Labour Deputy PM during Economic crisis and 20 billion black hole, partying……Girl Boss…….all good here.


We’ve had 14 years of the left slagging of the Tory’s daily (sometimes justifiably). Labour are now in power and I will do the same to them …were warranted, and when I see two tier standards applied or rank hypocrisy.

Even worse then, they saw the writing on the wall, the incoming dicks.

It’s worse than imagined

I don't think attacking Rayner for going on holiday when Parliament is in recess is a valid criticism.
