I didn't say lowering taxes will make prices lower accordingly, I said raising taxes will raise prices.

The entire discussion is about the Tories wanting to cut taxes to the rich, and the premise that it's a good idea because the extra wealth will somehow end up in Joe Public's wallet, and not as a 3rd private yacht somewhere in the Caribbean.

But now people are arguing that we should want to provide tax cuts to rich service providers so that they start offering their services more cheaply (until they eliminate the competition, of course then they can creep the prices back up), reducing the overall cost of living, and undoubtedly slowing down income growth. I'm pretty sure they call that a recession :joker:.
Anyone think these savings will be passed on? .. they won't, it's like expecting sectors to regulate themselves, not going to happen!
Wages are in line with the cost of living? ..mine might have been, in 1963! :laugh:

Trickle down economics never work out. When you cut taxes at the top, they just hoard the money for themselves, they don't put it back into the workforce.

Eh, good for them, at least they're enjoying their money and it's not falling into the wasteful economy.

Wow, how partisan do you have to be that you're cheering for your own side for not taxing the rich as much as they should and so the economy is suffering? That's.... That's honestly so ****ing grim.

If they try to avoid paying 20% then I'm against it. That's what they should be paying.

And so it has come to pass.

I believe that, when Cameron got in he laughed to Boris ' oh don't worry its your turn soon'... I think they know who's going to be pm... the election is just a charade. :/

Yep, and he probably meant "next" because it was pretty clear that it was meant to be Boris last time round... but he avoided it like the plague because whoever took over from Cameron after brexit was politically doomed. So they let poor T. May take the fall... and now, here he is.

Honestly the only thing that surprises me is that he's slithered into the position before October? He really must believe that he can cobble together something popular.

[Boris Johnson dropped the investigation into Mark Field grabbing a female protester by the neck. It sums this government up and they should never be allowed to forget it.]

Well Mark Field did get a suspension and lose his post in government.
So some comeback for his highly inappropriate actions.

It's not a good sign this PM has not done more.

However the very fortunate thing for Mark Field really is that the climate campaigner chose not to involve the police.

Otherwise he could, and should have, for me anyway, been in deeper trouble and likely prosecuted too.
