    I think she puts it best in that article. The problem isn’t helping people to own their own house, its that the stock of social housing isn’t being replaced.

    You can dislike this woman and this iteration of ‘new labour’ for many legitimate reasons, but this isn’t one of them.

    I’m a tax professional so can say with confidence that this is the Tories/shitty papersclutching at straws at a complete non event. It is absolutely pissing me off given how much tax evasion goes on by rich people, how much room there is for reducing tax for rich people (non Dom status, offshore trusts, various tax reliefs for owner managed businesses, etc), how complex the tax laws are (especially for normal people who can’t afford a litany of advisors), and the other corruption scandals (PPE, party donations, expense scandals, etc). The tax owed might be nothing but at most orient 3/4k.

    Also, my e-bike, which is my main and only source of transport, got stolen recently and it’s in the same ballpark as this tax liability (1.5k) - how do I get 12 police officers to investigate this as reported it but they magically couldn’t find anything even though it was locked next to ATMs on a busy London High street…

        Huh? Don’t get this comment. She’s a racist, a Zionist, and white feminist. Awful woman.

            She was opposed to a ceasefire, she is a member of LFI and receives money from them, she claims to be a feminist but ignore the issues of Palestinian women using tent scraps instead of tampons. All of this is publicly available.

            I used to really like her but she’s sold her soul for money and power.
