“What Government has announced today is not review at all, as it actually astonishingly excludes reviewing Loan Charge."

- Steve Packham, LCAG

Where is investigation into actions promoters, HMRC, agencies & more? #LoanChargeReview ignores all

Mick Lynch wants a progressive wealth tax with the richest paying the same as everyone else on PAYE, 47%.

That would bring in hundred of billions, it is time for the richest to pay what everyone else has been paying their whole lives.

UK's regressive tax system.
Poorest 10% of households paid 48% of income in tax; richest 10% paid 39%.

Poorest 10% paying 12% of income in VAT; richest 10% pay 3%.

Council tax: Poorest 10% paying 7%; richest 10% pay 1.2%.

No govt plans to end inequity.

40% of the $4tn a year Americans pay for their Healthcare is taken by Insurance Companies who do nothing but make profit and deny treatment with it.

It is $1.6tn down the drain.

Health Insurance should be banned and there should be a single Government scheme for everyone.

Funny that at no point do the Media suggest that billionaires are unaffordable and that they need an 80+% tax on them, like they had in the 1970's.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves claims she will save £1bn by “halving consultancy spend” but a £120m Deloitte contract for a shared services plan undermines the claim.

Elon Musk doesn't have majority ownership of Twitter, most of the $44bn did not come from him.

They would be wise to force him out before the site is completely worthless.
