RT @BettinaSRoss1: @IAPonomarenko I can understand why you want to think that. I'm afraid it isn't so. This leader has strong ties to Russia and is currently undermining almost every democratic institution at home. He's curbed the right to protest & refuses to house Ukrainian refugees. I could go on.

RT @NIAbbot: Maybe it's because I'm not a billionaire but I can't get my head around why someone with more than they could spend in 10 lifetimes tries so hard not to pay a single penny in tax. And it seems that the more they have, the harder they try.

Why is the UK government backing #Nuclearpower when #Onshorewind is so much better?

"The Guardian has also discovered the Treasury... brought in a new low tax scheme... to benefit some wealthy non-dom investors – just days before Sunak’s national insurance rise hit millions of working people at the height of a cost of living crisis."

So we had to explain, and then she saw that there was a problem. 👀
And then she decided to pay up. After all it's trivial, and there was never any need to dodge it. She has more than enough.
And anyway he keeps tax low for the super rich.

RT @uk_domain_names: HMRC: 75,700 non-doms in UK in 2020.

Non-dom fee: £30,000/yr.

Imagine we abolished non-dom status...

1. Some rich people would leave
2. Other rich people would pay more (much more?) tax

If Group 2 taxes more than compensate for £30k x Group 1, we win!

Shame on the Conservative peers in the Lords. Do they, maybe, not much care for the idea of enabling people to vote for their politicians?
