Despite all the doom and gloom pumped out by the RW media, the UK is actually doing well in some measures. FTSE 100 has outperformed the S&P 500 for the first time in many years.

Im afraid it is correct. Do the maths yourself if you like. If it didnt work this way then how would reducing higher rate taxpayers pension relief actually save any money? The net result of doing that is less money goes into that persons pension.

I decided to work it out in a spreadsheet. 1k extra of income that takes you £1 over the threshold leaves you with over £1k less in tax relief.

The fix is scrapping the triple lock and in return lowering the age. At present, people are getting lower pay as a direct result of having to pay for the triple lock, to fund a pensioner cohort who are richer than most working ppl.

'The triple lock just stops pensioners falling further behind, not getting rich.' Not true. At every income bracket, pensioners are now better off than working age people.

Most of the rich are older people, and funnily enough they dont vote for taxes on the rich (themselves).

This Reeves/BTL thing has a distinct whiff of Raynergate about it. Why have these people not learnt, fess up early and in full or it just gets worse and worse. If there is evidence she knew that she needed to obtain a license and she claimed she didnt know, she is toast.

This is a good record of what abstaining on 'meaningless votes' gets you. All it does is legitimise the opponents agenda.

Labour has been very good at embracing Tory agendas, whether Brexit or otherwise. Corbyn was basically in coalition with the Tories for several years.

This is a great example of what has gone so wrong with corporate capitalism. Your earnings go up and your first instinct is to fire people.
