🔥from Kemi: "We've been fed puff pieces in the Times and FT showing a woman wallowing in self-pity, whining about 'mansplaining' and 'misogyny'.

EXCLUSIVE: Rachel Reeves will launch a £2 billion tax raid on lawyers, family doctors and accountants as she seeks to balance the books by targeting the wealthy The chancellor is expected to use the budget to impose a new charge on people who use limited liability partnerships as she tries to fill a £30 billion hole in the public finances More than 190,000 workers use partnerships, particularly in the legal world, and they offer a significant tax benefit over ordinary employment. They are not subject to employers' national insurance as partners are treated as self-employed Reeves is said to consider this unfair and is expected to announce changes to the system in her budget. She has repeatedly said that 'those with the broadest shoulders' should pay their 'fair share of tax', and many of those who use partnerships are high earners Details of the planned tax raid on partnerships were obtained by The State of It, the new political podcast from The Times and The Sunday Times More than 13,000 partners earn an average of £1.25 million each a year. Solicitors who draw profits from partnerships make an average of £316,000 a year. The family doctors make £118,000 and accountants an average of £246,000 Reeves is also expected to push ahead with a mansion tax, imposing capital gains on the sale of main residences for the most expensive properties Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/5TLaoj… And read the story here: thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
