Why don't you wait and see what tax rises are announced and whether I agree with them.rick_chasey said:Looking forward to Stevo justifying the Rishi hikes on various taxes including corporate tax.

depends how you want to define infrastructure spending.TheBigBean said:
A discriminatory tax penalises one industry and therefore benefits another. For example, the US is more pro petrol and anti diesel than the EU which reflects the vehicles produced in those places. I'm not sure who would benefit from a financial transaction tax, but I'm sure someone would.surrey_commuter said:
not sure what you mean about state aid and abolishing entire EU budget and discriminatory taxesTheBigBean said:
It's one for the electorate to decide, but as it stands, the EU spends a lot more on state aid. I'd have more sympathy for the argument if the entire EU budget (not just CAP) and discriminatory taxes were abolished.surrey_commuter said:

Euston is the outskirts of London? I'll admit I sometimes regard zone 2 as the suburbs, but that's zone 1.surrey_commuter said:A so called Tory crashing free trade talks because he wants the State to pick winners.
The Times reckons today is the point of no-return in spending £100bn building a train from the outskirts of London to the outskirts of Birmingham.
As we have failed to find a single thing he has done since election to benefit the UK I would like to set a new challenge.
Name one traditional Tory Party value that he upholds through his actions (not words)
I also think you don't really understand the state aid issue.
i kind of get your arguments about state aid but everybody else thinks the sticking point is Boris Cummings wanting to chose State champions so more Beijing on Thames than Singapore.
But you are right, I see a need for state aid to achieve net zero and to create future potential market places e.g. autonomous vehicles.
Isn't the whole EU budget just state aid? CAP definitely is, but I think so is most of the rest of it.
As usual it feels like if there was a will there would be a way around this. I suspect in Boris's narcissistic mind he has engineered a win/win. The EU buckle at the 11th hour making him a hero or we crash out making him a heroic British bulldog who stood up the bullying frogs/krauts.0 -

Isn't that the point being made? Other than 'getting Brexit done' it feels like they haven't even tried to do anything with their majority. OK, I understand that Covid coming along has taken up a lot of time and effort but surely the benefit of having a healthy majority, especially when the Party has been remodelled so that many of the more centrist voices have been pushed aside, is that you can push through those tricky policies you've always wanted. People will whinge at seeing things they don't like getting approved but that's democracy - sitting there apparently doing nothing, or even talking about what you plan to do, for the best part of a year just seems a waste.Stevo_666 said:

You could argue otherwise.veronese68 said:Surely the most important thing on the agenda when they were voted in was to sort Brexit out properly, admittedly there has been a fairly significant distraction but shouldn't they have done a bit more about it?
They could spend a huge amount of effort delivering a comprehensive deal which would still not suit a large group of people. Or alternatively do just enough to make it look like they tried, achieve nothing which keeps just as many brexiteers happy as those it upsets whilst taking less effort and having the advantage of deflecting blame.
If you don’t try you can’t fail. That’s what surprises me most about this government, they are a party with a losing mentality, always looking to deflect blame rather than achieve goals.
Which is at odds with that majority.0 -

A fair bit of baiting going on so can I side with SteveO and point out that he has always been unequivocal on levels of taxation in general and corporation tax in particular.
Indeed the stats would suggest that if Rishi wants to raise taxation then he should make corporation tax more competitive and reduce the distorting effects of high marginal income tax rates.
I may be misremembering but I think he was in favour of a massive reduction in IHT so people paid it rather than paying to avoid it.0
