Becksy@byteseu the politics of envy. Cutting off one’s nose to spite your face. The top 1% by wealth in Britain pay almost 30% of taxes collected by U.K. Revenue. That’s tax on their income earned in the U.K. There are roughly 70,000 non-doms in the U.K. They are leaving in large numbers. How will the U.K. replace the lost tax income? As if it doesn’t already have a problem balancing the books. #uk #thirdworldbritain #nondom #tax #mittal #starmer #Labour
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious third world England. The descent continues. Rock bottom is still some way off. Tory corruption. Decades of poor economic policy. #brexit #thirdworldbritain #thirdworldengland #starmer has inherited a mess.
Well done #ireland. Putting the neighbours across the sea to shame. How can two similar countries be so different when it comes to #water quality? The only explanation is #tory policy and mismanagement. #uk #ukpol #politics #thirdworldbritain #bathing #beach #bbc #watercompanies #negligence #corruption #sunak #starmer https://www.rte.ie/news/environment/2024/0516/1449424-epa-bathing-water/
@JorisBohnsonPM GDP per capita is not a measure of personal wealth. That aside, the UK is in free fall post Brexit decline and is some way off rock bottom. The British sense of entitlement and mistaken superiority, with a touch of ignorance led to #brexit. Now it’s time for the stiff upper lip to admit mistakes and eat humble pie. Until then, the march to third world Britain will continue. #uk #britain #politics #eu #poland #GDP #Sunak #thirdworldbritain
@ChristieElanCane the downward spiral towards #thirdworldbritain continues. Nothing will happen until the country reaches rock bottom and sufficient momentum builds in support of change. Sadly, things will get a lot worse. More so, the damage will be irreversible. Once a key EU member, the UK will become the poor man of Europe. #brexit #eu #politics #economics #labour #conservatives #tories #LibDems #Sunak #Starmer #wakeupcall
@happy the difference compared to Switzerland being… wages! If you live and work in Switzerland you tend to be paid very well. If you live in the UK, #brexit and #tories have destroyed your standard of living. #thirdworldbritain
The world must look at the #uk and scratch its head in bewilderment. A so called democracy where a minority is allowed to hold a country to ransom. #thirdworldbritain. #northernireland frozen in the headlights, no functioning local government. Surely it’s time to move on, with or without the DUP. Surely a Stormont member who fails to attend repeatedly must forfeit his or her seat! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-67747439
