Tory mouthpiece in "badmouthing Labour manifesto" shocker.
Has he just had his fingers in the electric socket? |
He can be whoever he wants but if anyone with a spare brain cell isn’t questioning the figures they aren’t being honest with themselves. |  |

I've said all along that Corbyn is stuck in 1970. Here's the proof, if it were needed. |  | | |

Too true Darran and there's a few other things, for example, the broadband won't be totally free, it'll be paid for in our taxes so only the non tax payers will get it free. Then there's the vote for 16 year olds, here in Wales it's illegal for U18 to have certain body art, if they are not considered mature enough to make a decision about their own body, how are they mature enough to vote?
Then there's the Trident thing, I really don't see the point in us having nukes and I thought Corbyn was all foe getting rid. I'm all for dumping Trident, putting 25-30% of that money into the conventional armed forces and using the rest where it's really needed. Trident's upgrade is said to cost around 31 billion with the annual cost around 2 billion and it's pointless. If a nuclear war started our input would be like taking a leak in the Tawe and who is going to nuke us without NATO getting involved? If NATO folded a nuclear attack would cause serious damage across Europe too.
I'm talking myself into a pro remain position here but if the USA can't be trusted a European army seems like a good idea and we all pay a share into a nuclear defence system which could still save us money.
Norman Smith said it's the most radical AND expensive manifesto he's ever seen and therein lays the big problem, taxing the top 5% more could cause issues, could possibly decrease tax revenue. So who ends up paying more? Those of us without the means to take our money and leave?
I'm all for the renationalising policy though, that could be generating profit in 7-10 years according to what I've read.
I srill don't see Corbyn winning though, it's not just him, there's Thornberry, McDonnell, Abbot etc, how may want them in government? |  |

I’ve got a glorious Prince of Wales check suit hanging upstairs that I’d had from Calders around the ‘84/85 mark, at a guess. Still fits too!
I would have been consciously aiming at 1931 rather than 1970.  |  |

If you are married you will have to pay an extra £250 in tax. In labour's mannifesto they have promised to a abolish the transferable married tax allowance.
So much for labour's promise only to increase tax for the top 5% of earners. | |

Will doctors have to pay more tax under these proposals? Or will another loophole be introduced akin to the pensions tax issue?
If not the first place any extra cash to the NHS is going will be to increase doctors salaries to stop them from emigrating. | | | |

If they earn over £80k yes, they will pay more tax.
Don’t forget though, that if we have one doctor, and they stay in place because we do give them a pay rise, we have one new doctor.
At least, that’s the way it’s calculated by the Tory party now. | | | |

I remember looking at GP's income some years back, after things were restructured under the Blair Labour Government, and I found a GP in Kent who earned over £500 thousand in a year. I think his was the highest in the UK, but income like that should not be possible surely. | | | |

Depending on which report you look at, the average salary for a GP in the UK is between £75k and £90k. | | | |

The average GP earns an average salary of £90,000, but doctors can earn more by linking up surgeries, making record earnings by managing tens of thousands of patients. Figures revealed more than 200 'Super GPs' in the NHS earned more than £200,000 a year in 2015/16.29 Dec 2017 |  |

Consultants coin it in too with private work.
Those who are directors of companies supplying services to NHS also make a nice profit. | | | |

Corbyn's plans to renationalise have been dealt an early blow it seems. National grid and SSE have moved ownership to offshore companies. Between them they own Britains "entire gas and electricity transmission spine" so says 'The Times'
I wonder if, or more likely, how many other companies are taking measures to prevent Corbyn making good on his pledge? | |

My son works in a small specialist engineering company, people have been asking the MD about the imapact of the election, they have been told that the company is preparing two business plans based the manifesto committments and will brief the staff on Monday the 16th of December.
The company tends to re-invest all its post tax profits. The Md is doing a great job not directing people to vote in any particular direction. |  |

It's not exactly an increase of tax though is it?
And why should married people get extra money, compared to unmarried couples? Marriage is bullshit imo. A pointless act. |  |

The tax allowance is transferable. It is still called the married tax allowance but it also applies to partners spouses etc not just to married couples.
It allows people to transfer their allowance if one partner works part time and does use their full personal tax allowance. It is useful particularly if couples have children so one can"t work full time.
So labour are increasing tax for the people who at least able to afford it. | |

One of Jeremy Corbyn’s parliamentary candidates was forced to surrender thousands of pounds in cash after the UK Border Agency concluded he was trying to smuggle it out of the country for the purpose of “unlawful conduct”, including “tax evasion”.
Ibrahim Dogus, 39, a Kurdish kebab tycoon and personal friend of Corbyn’s, is Labour’s candidate to replace Tom Watson in the seat of West Bromwich East, and has said he is campaigning on a platform to end “poverty, privatisation and tax avoidance”.
The British Kebab Awards founder became embroiled in a tax-evasion investigation in 2011 after giving his aunt wads of cash from his restaurant empire and asking her to take them on a flight from Heathrow to Istanbul. | | | |

And of course for anyone in the unfortunate position of being a full-time carer for one's spouse. | | | |
