From 1941 to 1952 in the UK, the top rate of income tax was 98%. A luxury goods purchase tax introduced in 1940 later rose to 100%.
Result? The share of incomes captured by the richest 0.1% fell from 7% in 1937 to just over 1% in 1975. That's what we need today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
I can't tell you how much I hate that man. Starmer, obvs, Flynn is a dish 😍
Wasting £8 billion on U-turns is definitely being capable and a comms problem isn't it. 😂
This comment should be good for a few dozen more blocks lol.
To the Starmerrhoids I haven't got round to blocking yet: Starmer is objectively the least popular PM on record: whingeing about this doesn't change the record. Labour is just like Reform to the extent that y'all whine it isn't fair when directed to the objective record.
So you're saying pick one of two things the same. 😂
Never. The reality is unions' main power is collective negotiation and they won't uncouple themselves from the government because it stops them doing that.
Like Labour MPs, if the unions had any intention of standing up for humanity they would have done it by now.
Oh yes, but I was talking about the point of Labour. A replacement Green/Lib Dems government would derail that point 😉
I'll promise you they won't.
The prospect of facing reselection by their local party in 2029 would make them fear for their careers.
Why would you be shocked to find the notoriously racist police are racist?
Give it time, Starmer can get in a couple of U-turns yet.
Handy place to block Starmerrhoids.
Thank you very much for providing a handy thread as a single place to block genocide supporting Starmerrhoids.
Our reminder that a majority of MPs voted for the reforms after this.
Lol I must do too because I hadn't noticed 😁
No but hear me out if the haunted Victorian pencil says the GPEW is dangerous, what an endorsement 😂

The point of Labour is to fail and make way for a Reform government.
I keep looking at this hopefully too.
Some of the outer areas of London in the south are very Tory indeed 🤦
I live in Ladywood constituency and last night I dreamt the next election was so split we ended up with a Lib Dem MP, who usually come last.
That's exactly what Labour stand for too. What a coincidence!
That would be a reasonable assumption except Labour think their constituency is Reform voters and those scary men who dress up in Nazi uniform at home.
Their perception of everything else is bound to be wrong, they're even mystified that most of their constituency have gone Green!
I don't believe the canvasser. Only a small proportion of political party members actually get to the point of canvassing and if you're only staying in for that reason you certainly wouldn't canvass for the party.
Liebour not Labour.

Enjoying the change you voted for, Labour voters?
Tbf they had anyway, but they've extra lost them now.
It looks like the Green Party has by far the best defence policy of all.
Renewable energy; wind, solar, wave and tidal power.
Renewables don’t get stuck or blown up in the Strait of Hormuz.
The Starmerrhoids have been absolutely raging the past couple of days.
Good. That means the upper echelons of the Liebour Party and their billionaire masters are rattled by the Green Menace. 💚
We have the money.
