So you want me to believe that Denmark spends nothing on unemployment. Posting graphs without saying where the data comes from (if I missed the source just let me know) is not really much of a rebuttal. Here is some other data (could be BS but hey)

Not sure how you generated that graph. Using your data source Uk has risen from 3.8 to 4.8 in last twelve months (26%). Germany from 2.2 to 2.5 (13%). France btw is about as bad as uk. However being just as bad as everyone else is not really the point

The reasons for this are not just failure to tax the rich. Demographics, lower levels of immigration, fewer people outside workforce etc are factors in all the Nordic’s.
Problem requires some significant policy change (not just money) so it’s non trivial.
Hopefully interesting graph:

Numbers from 2023 below. Not quite 73.8 but still pretty good. Where does your number come from - might have to upgrade my numbers 😄

Well despite your firsthand experience the numbers don’t stack up.

I think that by replying “overheard” your post goes into a feed of other funny replies (but tbh I’m new to this social media stuff so may well be wrong) happy to delete if I’ve got that wrong.

Hmm no. IHT is pretty much optional so the thought that 500 large landowners are going to pay huge amounts of it is just daft And whilst I’m here …. I presume he will reverse this little bung from Tory Tony

I presume that he will be reversing this as the country needs money.
