@RichardGCorbett Most of the 5 million UK citizens of working age that live abroad will still be paying UK taxes eg corporation tax, VAT, NI & CGT. Most of the 200000 in the Middle East are eg chefs, teachers, nurses, oil workers, there are children involved, they are British. Facts.

I have sympathy for Brits who were transiting through Gulf airports when travelling to/from Asia,Australia,etc (& those on holiday there)
But not for those who, knowing the risks, chose to live there to evade UK taxes and who now demand UK taxpayer-funded rescue flights!

Sir Ed Davey has called for “washed-up old footballers and tax exiles” in Dubai to start paying taxes to fund Britain’s Armed Forces.
Over the weekend, the UK launched an operation to support at least 200,000 British nationals in the Middle East amid the growing conflict.
The Liberal Democrat leader asked Sir Keir Starmer if he agreed that British expats should start paying taxes to fund the Armed Forces.

We rightly expect our Armed Forces to protect British citizens abroad.
So it’s right that tax exiles should pay UK tax like the rest of us, whether they’re right-wing political pundits or washed-up footballers.

🚨 WATCH: Ed Davey says British tax exiles in Dubai should now be made to pay tax in the UK "As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our Armed Forces just like the rest of us do"

@GMB Most of the 5 million UK citizens of working age that live abroad will pay voluntary NI contributions or top up when needed. NI is a tax. Most of the 200000 in the Middle East are eg chefs, teachers, nurses, oil workers, there are children involved, they are British. Facts.
English
The Lib Dem leader Ed Davey claims 'tax exiles and washed-up footballers' are among those who need our protection in the Middle East, saying they mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay taxes.
So, should UK taxpayers fund the evacuation of expats in the Middle East?

No representation without taxation!
British tax exile migrants in the Middle East aren’t so smug now.
Time for the UK to adopt a US-style link of taxation to nationality - not residency.
Want a British passport and everything it gives? Pay fair instead of freeloading.

3.5 million UK citizens overseas deserve proper representation in Parliament.
Right now they’re an electoral afterthought, their distinctive concerns unheard and unanswered.
Dedicated MPs for Brits abroad would plug this gap in our democracy.

@NEBylines Overseas constituencies make sense. We are joining UK citizens around the world in the campaign for them, to give us all a stronger voice.

Around where I live, most people know me as a doggy man. One thing about being a doggy man is that the dogs need walked and so I get out and about in my local community of West Belfast and I see lots of people in our community.
I've seen it change in my lifetime... 1/5
