Hey, Kwarsi, here's an idea to simply the tax system:

@TheGreenParty proposes a single tax so that all incomes, including rental and investment income, are taxed at the same rate

Happy to talk it through

Local areas to be set free of stifling red tape?

💷 Low tax
🏭 Deregulation
✂️ Cuts to workers' rights

EU law protecting these to be scrapped

Chancellor makes attack on people and planet explicit

Tory Conference latest: Queues form outside pro-EU fringe event as main hall remains deserted

More interest in @euromove discussion with Heseltine and @DavidGauke than event in main hall

If Tories are really putting growth first this isn't so surprising

Kwarteng has no credibility when he refers to 'our precious public services'

We know he is planning to slash their funding to pay for tax cuts to his wealthy cronies

More chaos from Tories

Cutting of top tax rate is only a tiny part of tax cuts

Those that remain will mean devastating cuts to our public services

Fishier and fishier

Looks like Kwarteng met the hedge funds and then went freelance on top rate tax cut

Market reaction then allowed those hedge funds to profit by trashing the pound

PM and cabinet didn’t even know this

They are not in control of the country or the economy
RT @PippaCrerar: Liz Truss drops Kwasi Kwarteng in it on 45p top tax rate.

“It was a decision that the Chancellor made”.

🤔 When shown the spike in the cost of government borrowing Truss is keen to point out that this isn’t the same as interest rates

😐 ‘Which are set by the independent Bank of England’

😱 Seems she really doesn’t understand how they had to clear up her mess to defend the pound

Austerity 2.0 to give tax cuts to the rich

Socially disastrous as public services decline further

Economically disastrous as spending of public-sector wages withdrawn from economy

Especially bad for regional economies that need levelling up, where these are best paid people

@MaxAndersson You really did, Max!

But you know what? I could do with some rather more boring but functional politics

🤯 I’m glad to see that, in spite of all the weirdness of British politics recently,

😱 Voters still don’t like to see a government trash the economy, destroy the pound, and make their mortgages unaffordable

🤑 Just to reward their rich backers
