Rachel Reeves: It’s time to end tax loopholes like non-dom status and stop punishing Britain’s workers

  1. Nah – far better to only have an MOT every other year and let nursery workers watch sixty kids at once.

    That’s definitely what the working folk of Britain want!

  2. Soundbite. No substantive plans. If you scratch the surface, (follow maybe 2 links). Some numbers with a firm plan would be nice from the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. We need to get people on board

  3. Tony Blair said the same thing – it was something like the British tax laws run to thousands of pages, under New Labour we will reduce that to hundreds, thus closing the tax loopholes.

    Volume of pages of tax law increased by nearly 10% under Labour.

    Politicians today, it’s no longer a vocation or civic duty, it’s a payday so decisions are made around increasing their payday.

  4. Punishing the poor and letting the rich pay fuck all in taxes are as British as a Roast Dinner on Sunday.

  5. See this is what they offer you during a vote. Then they get in power an kick it into the long grass.
    Because the people who benefit from it are ushually party doners/investers so when someone speaks about it they say well we might have to withdraw funding if you carry on with this policy.
    – Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.
    – Landlords don’t vote to regulate landlords.
    – Tax dodgers don’t vote to clamp down on tax havens.
    – Perverts don’t vote to regulate perverts.

    An so parliament continues as it is.
    ‘Conflicted interest’ is at the very heart of every political conflict.

  6. Yes – all political parties have been saying this for as long as I remember? 40+ years? So why didn’t in happen in previous governments? Oh – because it’s a throw away comment!

  7. Why Labour was not advocating it years ago? The Rishi situation was a common knowledge as early as 2017 and yet not a peep from Labour then. What changed?
