@TribesBritannia @AndyBurnhamGM @FraserNelson He said bands, not rates, my friend. The bands are.

The best-paid 1% contribute 28% of income tax. Best paid 0.01% pay 5% - av £4.5m each. The idea that wealthy are not taxed “properly” is hard to reconcile with gvt’s reliance on a small number of highly-mobile people My column: telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/10/1…

@ScottMcGrathUK @AlanWolfson @AJHeadtoHead @mehdirhasan I'm not trying to shut the conversation down. Can you point me to where I did? I believe I said "we need to use accurate information for the conversation". Your refusal to actually engage with what he was criticised for and repeatedly pivoting to a different point is suspect

GB News regular Matthew Goodwin gets grilled by @mehdirhasan on his (false) claim that "50% of social housing in London is now occupied by people who are not British" – it’s actually 14%. Watch the full episode ⤵️ youtu.be/BwB6x8CUkZA

@DesmondLim1967 @ShengwuLi This is exactly what LKY is said to have been trying to avoid

@ShengwuLi Will there be any likelihood that 38 Oxley Road will be gazetted as Singapore National Monument?

@moirarichards14 @Prof_Umbongo @andrew10612 60 isn't pension age Moira

@Prof_Umbongo @andrew10612 I think she is obviously not living that sort of life as pensioners have which is the lowest in Europe well the lowest in the world.

Heating, bus passes, taxing pensions and now this? They hate the elderly.

Calculations: Median gross annual earnings in 2000: £18,848 Median gross annual earnings in 2024: £35,464 (Per ONS) Average Fee for private schools in 2000: £1,759 Average Fee for private schools in 2024: £6,021 (Per the ISC annual census, looking at Day fees for day schools)

However, private schools are now, more than ever, inaccessible to all but the wealthiest. Adding VAT to this, in my opinion as someone who attended an independent school, is way overdue. 3/4

Since 2000, the average private school fees have risen circa 242%. In the same period, wages have risen 88%. Private schools have become a huge amount more expensive in the last 24 years, and increasingly inaccessible to almost everyone. 1/4
