@colin_boyle_ @DavidHenigUK I guess it helps if you've been personally involved in designing and negotiating the regulation!

@Davejones0305 Thanks for your advice. I have read The Deficit Myth but the situation for the pound is not the same as the situation for the dollar, as the response to the mini-budget demonstrated

@TootingBull We’re still working up our final proposal for the general election but it will be a tax on the super-rich

Lots of alternatives proposed here: https://www.ukwealth.tax

@LukePollard The biggest problem is with the Commons. What about electing MPs by a fair system where all votes count and all count equally? It’s what you party members want, Luke

@anandMenon1 I’m sorry, but he lied. And we’ve really had enough of that 😡

Really depressing to hear Starmer claiming he can rebuild public services with such timid tax changes

Ending non-dom rule and tax breaks to public school are marginal changes

We need a fully fledged #WealthTax to bring in enough money to fund the public services we deserve

The Brown report is a smoke-screen to cover Labour’s failure to support a fair voting system

Labour members and the country at large are crying out for fair votes, genuine electoral competition and the end of the moribund two-party system

It’s clear that a large majority support a much closer relationship with the EU

But a ‘Swiss-style’ deal with never be on the table - the EU detests it even for Switzerland!

It will be being a rule-taker or deciding to #RejoinEU

I know which I prefer

A scheme linking subsidies to farmers to protection of nature was watered down yesterday by Therese Coffey

And details were further delayed

This is undermining farmers and and undermining one of very few benefits of Brexit

A missed opportunity… https://mastodonapp.uk/@Molly/109442803722526360

'The argument of the last PM – that the only route to economic success is to allow inequality in our country to grow even greater – is simply wrong.'

Inequality is bad for us all

Strong argument for a #WealthTax jointly from millionaire and care worker

Chester by-election is a crushing defeat for Rishi Sunak

This is what the figures show, with Tory vote share at 22%

But not how it's being reported by @BBCPolitics

Brexit has added more than £200 to UK household food bills, study finds

Leaving EU has increased UK food prices by 6%

So about half increase in food prices is down to that decision

Time to admit we got it wrong and to begin the process to #RejoinEU

@pmdfoster @ChrisGiles_ @FT I tried three times to post this on Mastodon but could find out how to do the Alt text
It is so much easier on Twitter so I went back and posted there
Can anybody advice. I’d rather use Mastodon but can’t spend 10 minutes per tweet

New research* shows that investment is falling well behind what would have been without Brexit barriers to trade

Rishi Sunak sets up strikes unit as more public sector workers vote to walk out

After 12 years of Tory cuts everything is broken in this country

Let’s hope this unit is about fair settlements and fair pay, not more damaging propaganda

If Labour’s leadership is hobbling internal candidates, is it fit to run a democracy?

A very fair question
