@owenlmeredith @andyburnham No such evidence at all, we don't know what the tax income had been at a tax rate of 45%

A clear and evidenced warning for @andyburnham that higher tax rates raise less money for the exchequer
Dan Neidle@DanNeidle
Scotland raised its top income tax rate to 48% to make the rich pay more. New HMRC data suggests the result may have been the opposite: Scotland collected about £22m less. We can't be sure, but Scotland may have fallen over the Laffer curve. 🧵:

@SpursIdol @L__Macfarlane If you refer to the Laffer curve, it might also be worth mentioning that several studies by economists estimate it peaking at a rate between 65% and 70%
English
@L__Macfarlane Just give up thinking you know anything about tax or its effects
The Laffer curve is well known.
As is the fact that UK has about the highest % tax as a proportion of GDP.
OBR suggested UK was maxing out on tax a couple of months ago, so NO surprise on Scotland tax
English
Many are claiming this analysis proves that Scotland’s 48% top tax rate reduced revenue. While it’s useful analysis, the data doesn’t support such a definitive conclusion.
Here’s why we should treat it with some caution🧵

Tim 'Brexit' Martin announces that shares in Wetherspoons have plummeted and it is expected to post a debt of £720million at the end of the financial year.
He blames rising costs for workers, food, energy and property taxes all caused by Brexit.

@SBarrettBar Because we are not stupid enough to fall for the propaganda trying to mislead us into thinking that this is something that really matters

Why are Labour ministers not asked *every single day* about the boat migrants?
Why is it not the sole focus of our media???

Andy Burnham could find a cure for cancer, give it away for free and you’d have some daft cunt saying “well I haven’t got cancer”

🇩🇪 Which is "more correct" German?
A. Das Auto meines Bruders.
B. Das Auto von meinem Bruder.
C. Both, but one is slowly disappearing.
D. Neither, it should be "Das Auto meinem Bruder."
There's an entire bestselling German book about this.
Which side are you on? 👇🏽

"31% currently say they’re likely to consider voting Labour next election.
But if Lab were to offer a 2nd referendum in its manifesto, this rises to a 45% – the only EU policy pledge tested that makes a meaningful difference to the party’s support"

We hear more and more about the costs of Brexit that Johnson, Farage & co never told us about, but this revelation from health professionals’ magazine Nursing Times is perhaps the worst:
Loss of EU nurses after Brexit responsible for over 3,700 deaths
