Meanwhile away from the fails fantasy land the average family will pay £2 a week more. The poor less the rich more. Labour have kept the 5% rise. |

Labour have kept the existing cap. Yep, the argument is that the 5% was set before inflation fell. |

Labour have kept the existing cap. Starmer gives local authorities permission to raise it by nearly three times the rate of inflation..... We also have a cap on roadtax but of course that will rise when the cap date expires. |

Most folks know tax needs to go up. My biggest question is why the super rich remain untouched. are they? - the top 1% of income tax payers earned 13.3% of total income and paid 28.2% of income tax. How much more should they pay? |

How much more should they pay? The super rich are richer than ever and income tax covers only a small part of their income. Wealth inequality: The UK has high wealth inequality, with the top fifth of the population owning 63% of the country's wealth, while the bottom fifth own only 0.5%. |

I have no objection to being wealthy but no one needs billions. |

I have no objection to being wealthy but no one needs billions. No one needs a few holidays in the Canaries a year, a large house and expensive car but somehow you want to want to keep yours . The question is ..should the state have the power to take off you what you don’t need? Afaik most Billionaires don’t have billions in the bank . Much of their wealth is in stocks and shares ..some grossly overvalued . |

Nothing in that post suggests that I want to have ‘ no wealthy “ let alone ‘ really want ‘ it. You want billionaires to give up want they don’t need when you aren’t giving up what you don’t need. |
