@MarkDampier @SaulStaniforth And also too stupid to realise there is no Govt money to buy the companies back with unless taxes go stratospheric.

@SaulStaniforth That’s because they’ve too young to know how bad it was in public ownership…

Water privatisation has been a disaster & polling consistently shows a majority of voters support nationalising the industry & bringing it back into public ownership If Andy Burnham can't/won't support even this, what hope is there on anything else?

@John_Stepek @cooksimon @MerrynSW Unfortunately so. They certainly dont learn from history.

@garyFstones @cooksimon @MerrynSW I agree, but I fear that's not the way our politicians think

How to make @MerrynSW and @John_Stepek very happy

@John_Stepek @cooksimon @MerrynSW It could also be painted as a boost to pension savers which is a tax cut to everyone,and a driver of increased trading activity which helps drive growth in UK plc

@garyFstones @cooksimon @MerrynSW Yes we absolutely should and we've been saying it for a very long time. It's a small amount of tax take, in exchange for a likely bigger benefit in terms of growth. But politically it can be painted as a "bung" to investors, and we all know how that goes down.

@John_Stepek @cooksimon @MerrynSW I'm all for abolishing stamp duty on equities.

@cooksimon @MerrynSW When you put it in these terms, it's a long-running act of political negligence that stamp duty on equities still exists

@MarkDampier She needs to do her maths on the IHT effect on homeowning married couples with a DC pension each. 10 yrs of fiscal drag on a £1 million threshold will halve it's today. It's the biggest state theft of private wealth ever & no one is talking about it.

I thought you would be interested in this story from The Times: A cynical tax trap has been set for homeowners. Put simply successive governments have heaped so much new tax on property they are now in danger of killing it stone dead. thetimes.com/article/463cd5…

@Trader__007 More BS & gaslighting. He's too thick to know what is and isnt working. And lies pour out of him like crap out of a sewer.

Go out & meet real people who are working hard every day & speak to them. No set up Labour crowds, no PR stunts, no pre scripted notes for you to robotically talk through, just you & the people. Then tell us if 'it's working'.

@roaring2047 @Trader__007 It should be a box 6ft down

@Trader__007 He can’t even meet real people at Arsenal, he has to go in a box 🥴

@StephenMorganMP Dont be stupid. Its a gimmick, you brain dead fool

We want families to enjoy the things that make life worth living. That’s why the Chancellor has slashed VAT on summer attractions so that families can enjoy cheaper prices at…. 🎢 Theme parks, museums and soft play 🍿 Cinema and theatre tickets 🍽️ Children’s restaurant meals 🚌 Free bus travel across England for kids between the ages of 5 and 15

@GBPolitcs Ah bless the poor wee.....pathetic.

🚨NEW: Green party MP Carla Denyer has announced that she is going to "take several weeks off" as she claims to be too tired and suffering from "burnout" This comes at the same time as summer

@meadwaj 🤣🤣

Nationalise Morrisons, use it as the foundation for a new, publicly-owned grocery store selling high quality, affordable food. National-level version of the Mamdani plan in New York. Need to think big in a world with repeated, major shocks to essential supply systems.

@raven_brah Rubbish. The stuff didn't exist back then. A treat was a visit to the chippy for a bag of batter bits with gravy. The fish n chips were for wealthy folk.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@Bru1g @FT It's theft to take something that doesn't belkng to you. Greed is the driver, theft is the reality.

@FT Time for this once again. What does this moron think people do with the money they've earned??

At his campaign launch, Andy Burnham indicated that he was open to radical tax reform, reflecting his longstanding view that tax should shift from income derived from work to income from wealth and assets. ft.trib.al/OwZI6YT

@FT Another F ing idiot

@IBKR_Europe Is that all?

IBKR retail clients averaged 19.20% in 2025, beating the S&P 500’s 17.9%. The best-informed investors choose Interactive Brokers. Your capital is at risk.

@RidyardMike And bankrupting every one else

Burnham has backed a council tax overhaul that could see homes revalued for the first time since 1991, potentially raising millions for cash-strapped councils.🔍

@MoneyWeek Just think what will happen when they do the same to IHT thresholds once pensions are included. Every homeowning married couple with funded DC pensions are going to be fleeced out of their lifetime's endeavours to support themselves. Our Govt are bast*ards. The lot need culling.

@GBNEWS God help us if that's her grand plan to get us out of the mess she's created. I've never seen such an incompetent set of idiots run anything, let alone our country.

'I am launching the Great British Summer Saving scheme to support families and support our hospitality sector.' Amongst a range of measures to east the cost of living, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announces a temporary cut in VAT rates on ticket prices for 'summer attractions'.

@tickerade So true. And tax relief on a pension is great on money going in, but not so great on the way out, especoally with frozen threholds. SsISa much more flexible.

The problem with UK pensions is that people are not saving enough for their later years, and the government even takes a cut of your pension as well. The best thing you can do if you’re self-employed is to invest through a Stocks & Shares ISA and keep the government’s hands off your pension pot.

@TheSecretAcct @tickerade So true. And they always value it for far more than its worth, often using profit margin as a multiplier & ignoring debt assuming it will be collected.

@tickerade A lot of self-employed people think their business is their pension and then they can sell it. 99% of the time they are the business and therefore it’s unsellable.

@FinanceTiger F ing unbelievable. Message to police....dont bother, we are lawless and scum cann do whatever the fuck they want with no repurcussions.

🇬🇧 📉 When rapists escape justice, so too can police beaters. Broken, beyond repair!!
