The Future Of....

@LATAMAirlines your website is broken. The payment process is not working

@DanielPriestley @Keir_Starmer @RachelReevesMP You are describing exactly the state of the country after Tories have been in power for a generation. Why are you blaming Labour for this? This is the reason why they have to increase taxes, to pay for all the issues you have highlighted. This is a disingenuous post.

Dear young, smart, ambitious Brits. If you can easily leave the UK, do it. @Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP are planning to move Capital Gains Tax up by nearly double (from 20% to 39%). This means there's almost no point in entrepreneurs or investors taking a risk to build something of value in the UK. If there is no benefit for taking a risk or for delayed gratification, then progress stops. The UK government is run by socialists who can't stand anyone becoming successful. They tax you when you earn it, again when you spend it, then when you invest it and if by a miracle you make any gains they want another 39%! They have rigged the system against the hard working, enterprising and growth minded among us. Money is time. Money directly translates to weeks, months or years of your life. When they tax you 40% they are robbing you of your life from January until May. They don't give much back in return. The borders aren't secure, the institutions are crumbling, they inflate the currency through rampant government debt. These people give jobs to their mates, almost none of them have been successful in the real world without relying on government money. Currently the UK economy is 45% Government spending. This is basically socialism and it happened under a Conservative government. Now the country is being run by actual socialists, things are going to get a lot worse for those who create value. The most patriotic thing you could do is to leave the UK, go overseas and build wealth. When a decent government comes in and lowers taxes and runs the place properly, come back and invest your money into the UK. The country is going off a cliff but you don't have to - the world is a big place, go off and make your fortune somewhere that treats you well.

A cash-starved council is proposing disabled people be interned in care homes if their social care is “too costly”. This is a story of savage public funding cuts but also of which people society deems to matter. My col. in today’s @guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Yesterday we learned of the disgusting sexual abuse female surgeons experience in the NHS. Today, writing in the Times, recently retired anaesthetist Peter Hilton unintentionally shows exactly why disgusting sexual abuse in the NHS still thrives & prospers. Un - be - lievable.
