@stuey_beef railways like the private sector investment could do. Which is why they were privatised in the first place - to minimise the number of state departments competing for finite resource! Bigger state = more compromise or far higher taxes. Reality bites.

@stuey_beef The traditional parties are too driven by ideology not reality. Nationalisation is a classic example of this: so after nationalising the rail operators Labour admit services will have to reduce. Because the cold reality is the public sector doesn't have the resource to run the

Burnham says private land is “under‑taxed” and needs a new annual levy, on top of everything already piled onto work and consumption. But homeowners already pay council tax, stamp duty when they move, income tax, NICs, VAT on improvements – and that’s before you get to planning obligations and developer levies baked into prices. Calling family homes “under‑taxed” is pure Treasury‑brain: it ignores the fact that people have already bought these properties out of taxed income and paid a second tax to move in. If this is the mindset going into No 10 – that your front door is just another revenue stream – imagine what happens once they’ve normalised an annual land charge. Reply YES or NO: should politicians be allowed to tax the same asset multiple times just because they’ve run out of ideas?

@Gesstevenson @stuey_beef will be ordinary working people. For example if you target a 2% tax on assets above £10 million such as suggested by many how is a business owner that owns a company with a market valuation of £20 million that only makes £500k profit a year supposed to find £100k a year tax?

@Gesstevenson @stuey_beef the problem with wealth targeted taxes in general. The people that the left wing really want to target with these taxes will never pay them. As evidenced by HMRC losing recent court cases brought against the likes of Gary Lineker. The people that get caught up in wealth taxes

Burnham’s land tax is basically a mansion tax for people who don’t live in mansions. In the South, millions of ordinary families sitting in 3-bed semis bought decades ago would suddenly be treated like asset-rich oligarchs, taxed every year on notional land values they can’t spend. Retired couples on fixed incomes, mortgage prisoners, key workers clinging on in high-cost areas – all recast as “under‑taxed” landowners to be squeezed for an extra thousand pounds a year. This isn’t about fairness, it’s about a state that looks at your home and sees a cash machine, then blames you for living in the wrong postcode. Reply with your area and rough house value – could you actually afford a 1% annual land charge on top of everything else?

@BurtonPixels @Telegraph attack Hamas and Hezbollah operatives. Palantir is not dangerous at all. It produces software for military and law enforcement use. As do other software companies. If someone uses a kitchen knife to murder someone that doesn't mean the knife manufacturer is dangerous.

@BurtonPixels @Telegraph detect and predict criminal activity. This has been credited with e.g. allowing ICE to find an deport large numbers of illegal immigrants based on real-time analysis of surveillance data by Palantir. Similarly, the Israeli Defence Force has used Palantir software to locate and

@David__Osland Wealth does trickle down though. This is just a fundamental fact. Elon Musk >>> Tesla employees and contractors >>> spending by tesla employees and contractors >>> wider economy >>> tax revenue >>> public services

Forty years of neoliberalism have shown that wealth doesn't 'trickle down', tax cuts don't 'pay for themselves' and the private sector isn't 'more efficient'. If Britain is finally about to get a prime minister who grasps these facts, that will be a good thing.

@BetMGMUK James is better than Spence. I don't know enough about Mexico's fullbacks to comment. What i would say is that while individually the English players are probably better as a collective the Mexicans have looked more coherent, fluid and more organised. Football is a team sport.

@IvanGowan @Spurs_Optimist One of the reasons we don't is we are getting huge brand growth from events being broadcast worldwide "live, from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium". That in itself is putting our name and brand on the map. So to lose that we would need an obscene amount of money.

Anyone new to club earnings. Spurs in their worst season in years made £600m and have a very disciplined wage structure below Villa. Don’t open your mouth with mud in your brain if you can’t see why it is perfectly normal for spurs to spend £250m this summer.
Gunnerking_14@gunnerking_14

Chelsea are below us on this years rich list by 3 places and over 200m in revenue. Thats only going to increase further with them out of Europe and us recording record figures from winning the league and our ucl campaign. The last 3-4 financial years have been in our favour and we are champions of England, the most successful English team from this season. As I clearly stated in my video and multiple tweets afterwards, there is a distinction between the sustainable revenue growth of Arsenal, Tottenham, Utd, (until recent years taking a bit of a hit) & Liverpool which totally alienates us & is different to that of Chelsea & City because like you, they didn’t “colour within the lines” with the PSR/FFP & revenue to squad ratio lines the league set before you, and which your clubs all agreed to. So, not one trophy Chelsea won from 2009, where their first of 74 charges dates back to upto date do I consider a more legitimate and devoid of any asterix trophy than those won by the sustainably run big clubs, including Tottenham’s Europa. What we have or haven’t won in Europe is inconsequential for me standing by any sanction for any club that gains an unfair sporting advantage from these rule breaches. And whilst I definitely feel Chelsea & city should be sanctioned FAR MORE SEVERELY and am even more invested in them being punished than you, thank you for finally identifying which London club you should aim your gripes of spending at. Because it isn’t the careful financial planners in North London, which as much as I loathe spurs, they clearly have been. It’s the actual cheats you were so sure were defending your interests that just got off practically Scott free as a result in west London in blue and the blue in Manchester. Take your concerns up with them. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@TomsonPaul @Adam_Bevan_Avfc And as i said, owners cannot just pump money in to businesses. I.e. Elon Musk couldn't finance a hostile takeover by Tesla with his own funds. So these principles exist outside of football.

@TomsonPaul @Adam_Bevan_Avfc Where is the restriction of trade? Clubs can spend their money how they like. Spurs have finished 17th twice in a row despite spending huge amounts so the competition aspect falls on its face.

@Salibasexual02 @Spurspapers If we didn't put the fee upfront he goes to United and we are scrabbling around looking at lesser quality, less proven options. Its a no brainer.

@Salibasexual02 @Spurspapers paying for Spurs because right now we have a midfield that finished 17th twice and we need guaranteed performance. The "overpay" premium for Fernandes only came down to fee structure. United matched the £85m valuation but with add ons.

Just heard idiots on talksport say Spurs could have recruited someone just as good as Tonali from Europe for £30m. That’s literally what we’ve been doing for the last 20 years. And the last two PL winners are teams that bought £100m players 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Spurspapers Precisely. £60m on N'Dombele and £50m on Lo Celso are the real "overpays" not paying the premium to guarantee an improvement over what you have.

🚨🇮🇹🇮🇹TONALI CHANGES HIS MIND🇮🇹🇮🇹🚨 Sandro Tonali has decided NOT to sign for spurs as he just feels it’s unfair that we finished 17th two seasons in a row and Villa/Newcastle can’t spend this sort of money because of PSR. He said “it’s just not fair on small clubs like Villa and Newcastle, i was so happy to be moving to a big club like spurs but I’ve seen so many tears on twitter the last few days I think it’s best if I stay at Newcastle and help them breach PSR regs again next season”
