Next year #UK will tax state pensions rather than increase taxes on the wealthy

Pensioners will not only have a tax bill, they will have to put money aside to pay it, & will have to complete a self assessment tax return, with all the associated risk of serious penalties attached to that process.

This will result in £50 billion of extra tax paid

The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...

This Tory Govt clearly a Govt of #inequality, a Govt 4 the privileged & wealthy. The message 2 struggling families sent by the abolition of the #bankersbonus cap is a gratuitous & contemptible slap in the face 4 the vast majority of UK people. The sooner we rid ourselves of these #parasites the better. https://tinyurl.com/57serntd #ToryLiars #ToryCronies #ToryCriminalsUnfitToGovern
