Camilla Tominey humiliated on #BBCQT Gary Stevenson explains how we have given away national assets to rich people, so we should tax rich people Camilla Tominey dismisses the call to tax rich people by saying everyone pays taxes Gary Stevenson explains to tax the rich on their wealth Camilla Tominey says taxing the rich doesn't work, then cites European efforts to do so, she cites Norway But Norway haven't scrapped their wealth tax - In 2021 Norway raised the wealth tax from 0.85% to 1.0%, and to 1.1% for the richest. Their wealth tax brings in 34.5 billion kroner (about £2 billion) Gary Stevenson answers citing the second home stamp duty tax brought in by the Conservatives which has a loophole exempting those who buy 7 homes or more at once citing Jeremy Hunt Fiona Bruce says she doesn't know if he did or didn't buy 7 homes In 2018 Jeremy Hunt bought 7 flats in Southampton, doing go he made use of the loophole and saved over £100,000 in stamp duty tax. Not only did he do this, but Hunt didn't initially declare the purchase. This was a big story, surprised Bruce didn't know about it Gary Stevenson then explains how these loopholes mean rich people avoid paying tax, and its everyday people who end up paying more Camilla Tominey now humiliated over the idea of a wealth tax, then shifts her position wondering if wealth taxes will go to the poorest and not train drivers who are better paid She's trying to compare millionaires with non millionaires to suggest that we shouldn't tax more millionaires This is like saying, can you guarantee that leaving the EU will drop immigration. Well it could have, but it didn't because the people who convinced others to Brexit, like Boris Johnson, increased legal immigration to this country She also knows that tax today is specifically allocated to specific causes, so she's trying to create a reason not to tax the rich In reality, the way any tax is allocated to spending is down to any specific government policy, so it isn't whether we do or dont have a wealth, it's whether government choses a policy that allocates the additional income that is earned But also, and this is the crucial part, she started saying that wealth taxes don't work, and then she ends saying that you can't guarantee that they will go to those who need it the most - these are two different positions, and the second one nullifies the first as its an admission that wealth taxes could work but she dismisses them because they may not go to those most in need If a wealth tax, helps society in any way, it has worked e.g. fixing potholes that benefits everyone, including the poorest The extent to which people go to to dismiss wealth taxes on the rich is astonishing, tragic, and it is only our society that loses out by not doing so

The time has come to dispense with Laura Kuenssberg and replace her with the less biased and more competent Victoria Derbyshire. Like or repost if you agree. #BBCLauraK

All that and they still want to load the company with another £3 billion in debt and put your bills up by 53%. Welcome to regulatory and political failure.

Is this the US speaking or Russia? Thank you for the lessons, Mr Vance, but if you speak of democracy while supporting Europe's far right, you have no legitimacy. #MSC politico.eu/article/us-vic…

Brexit. In three headlines.

Britain: we have to understand wtf we’ve done. We’ve allowed one of Trump’s closest allies have access to our entire NHS data systems. This is the CEO of Palantir telling shareholders that ‘when it’s necessary to scare enemies & on occasion kill them’

@elonmusk Better the World thinks you may be a Fool....rather than open your mouth, and confirm the fact.

BBC is literally state-funded media

Appears the French aren't happy with our sh*t washing up on their beaches. "In the United Kingdom, this scandal that poisons the rivers. Privatised since Thatcher and the victim of under-investment, the sewer network is overflowing and waste water is flowing into the Channel and the North Sea."

"Brexit has ruined this country, and now the majority of Britons thinks so too." RT if you are that majority.

The UK needs to lead in Europe again. We can't rely on Trump, and Labour hasn't shown the urgency or ambition to fix our relationship with our closest neighbours. A UK-EU customs union is the first step repairing that relationship. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Abramovich tax dodge must be probed, HMRC urged. UK rarely tackles tax abuse by billionaires. Pandora Papers, Paradise Papers, Bahamas Leaks, HSBC Leaks, LuxLeaks, Panama Papers, Offshore Leaks have led to little action. Govts chase little people. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

70k signatures to rejoin the EU. Big petition, timely too - polling shows the public is in favour. Let’s get it to 100k and push Labour to debate rejoining. It’s the glaringly obvious solution our economic problems and the rise of the far right. Please RT. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7000…
