"@OldCodgerLeague @williamnhutton Although it wont be something you want to hear but the top 1% are paying a higher proportion of tax than ever before although query how much longer as we chase them out the country https://x.com/FraserNelson/status/1043952284772773888 The best-paid 1% now contribute 28% of income tax collected: a record high. Never have the lower-paid 50% been asked for a smaller share of income tax (10%). Hounding the wealthy makes everyone poorer. The "existing economic system" is redistributing more wealth than ever. https://x.com/FraserNelson/status/1043952284772773888 The"

"You havent read the article - he is happy to pay tax on his UK earnings and with a staff of [--] he will have a large NI bill too but he doesnt want to pay taxes on his foreign companies he also doesnt want his estate to pay IHT - we can chose to chase the foreign rich away but more of the burden falls on the rest of the population as a result - the foreign rich dont owe Britons a living - this is a highly undesirable but predictable outcome"

"@Frencheconomics Seems a bold move to take money out of an equity market that has been up nicely 9% in the last six months where there is still a huge amount of undervalued stocks one might think Coutts is going to be looking very stupid by the end of the year"

"I can see why you propose the thesis the only trouble is it inevitably leads to economic disaster as you run out of other peoples money rack up debts you cant pay back - see Peronist Argentina as exhibit a or Brownite Labour entering a recession after [--] years of growth with a budget deficit - think the smart plan on economics has to be to talk the language of the left but govern conservatively"

"Personally think that if this turns out to be remotely correct the Tories should not panic - not great going into an election year but its not an all is lost gap - if Susan Hall runs Khan close in London a good result in the West Midlands with Any Street likely to win and with Ben Houchen winning in Tees Valley this could be spun as a decentish result. Not convinced the Tory MPs wont panic however. 🚨 BREAKING: BBC Projected National Share 🔴 Labour: 34% 🔵 Conservative: 25% 🟠 Lib Dem: 17% ⚪ Other: 24% @BBCNews 🚨 BREAKING: BBC Projected National Share 🔴 Labour: 34% 🔵 Conservative: 25% 🟠"

"By being quite so loathesome you lost your honour - Ms Hall was going to lose without you impliedly labelling everyone who voted for her a white supremacists - you could have won with grace but you chose to win in a gracelessness manner - the Mayor refusing to shake hands was similarly graceless"

"I am not expert this chart appeared in Sky from well renowned academics - Street in Manchester lost by [----] votes and Khan in London won to a person no one has heard of with a swing in a nominally Labour city of just 3.2% it would appear the opinion polls and the actual polls are miles apart"

"Listening to Luther on rest is history - Holland takes the view that the woke movement has great parallels with Protestantism the fervour the rejection of unbelievers belief in purity tearing things down burning of rejected texts - feels like the Irish rejection of Catholicism is like they are going through their own reformation the difference being there was much to admire in the Protestant movement whereas the direction of travel of the Irish well I will not comment we can all draw our own conclusions"
