The £3 socialists did achieve some short term success. However the result has been a ‘batsh*t crazy’ tory party, unopposed leaving a trail of destruction, and potential for a new monster in a unopposed Labour party after the next election.

Well played 😆

If you define short term success as around a decade of keeping the lefties out of power, OK

Careful what you wish for though, especially if you're vaguely successful.

you may have kept the lefties out but you certainly did not keep their policies out

I see it as a lesser of two evils as while there is clearly room for improvement now, the lefties would have gone further, especially in terms of their approach to business and anyone vaguely successful. Imagine if Labour had won in 2019...

Your mantra of "It would have been worse" isn't terribly convincing, given the evidence of what's actually happened.

What part of you genuinely beleives they 'would have gone further' given the PM himself literally said 'f*** business'.

He may have said it, but Labour will almost certainly do it. Why would they treat what they see as part of the enemy any different now?

No-one believes you now that Corbyn could have been worse. That's why the Tories are in the doldrums - literally anyone is seen as a better alternative, no matter how many times you shout "But Corbyn". And that's despite him being an utter arsewipe.

Corporation. Tax. Up. Six. Percentage. Points.

I'm sure if they have just one more term they'll definitely bring taxes down then. They really mean it this time, honest.

The current corporation tax rate is still 3 percentage points lower than when Labour were last in power.

No, I don't mind you mentioning how bad Labour can be, as I've got a long political memory. It's just a pity that their incompetence has been soundly overtaken by the Tories': they've squandered their legacy. Jeez, they've made even Margaret Thatcher look pragmatic in comparison, and that's some achievement, given the strengths of her political beliefs.

Nonsense. Mediocrity has nothing to do with it. A typical display of london centric BS.
Entirely depends on the size of your business. If you look like making £255k profit, make a £5k pension contribution from the company etc.
Plenty of small business owners are more than happy with the living the earn whilst having profits of under £250k, and run extremely good businesses too.

The £3 socialists did achieve some short term success. However the result has been a ‘batsh*t crazy’ tory party, unopposed leaving a trail of destruction, and potential for a new monster in a unopposed Labour party after the next election.

Well played 😆

If you define short term success as around a decade of keeping the lefties out of power, OK

Careful what you wish for though, especially if you're vaguely successful.

you may have kept the lefties out but you certainly did not keep their policies out

I see it as a lesser of two evils as while there is clearly room for improvement now, the lefties would have gone further, especially in terms of their approach to business and anyone vaguely successful. Imagine if Labour had won in 2019...

Corporation. Tax. Up. Six. Percentage. Points.

I'm sure if they have just one more term they'll definitely bring taxes down then. They really mean it this time, honest.

The current corporation tax rate is still 3 percentage points lower than when Labour were last in power.

It is. But then you have to add on the employer's NIC increase as well.

Don't make a profit of over £250 k and you'll stick at 19% Corporation Tax rate

Strive for mediocrity!

Nonsense. Mediocrity has nothing to do with it. A typical display of london centric BS.
Entirely depends on the size of your business. If you look like making £255k profit, make a £5k pension contribution from the company etc.
Plenty of small business owners are more than happy with the living the earn whilst having profits of under £250k, and run extremely good businesses too.

What you’re describing isn’t growth

Where do I suggest it is?
I was responding to RJST complaining about the hike in Corporation Tax for businesses making profits of over £250k, and that if around the margin, you can reduce the taxable profit to remain at 19%.

If turnover goes up by say 20% but the profit remains the same is that growth?
If turnover falls but the profit grows, is that growth?

rick_chasey

So now you’re describing reducing profit margins to avoid tax?
