Is that the nurses and health care professionals wage rise grabbed back by that habitual cheating, lying horrible twat of a PM? his record of u-turns and absolutely blatant lies to the public beggars belief.

He's raising dividend taxes by 1.25% & taking away working pensioners' exemption: they'll pay 1.25% on their earnings. He's gambling the rich & working old will still vote for the @Conservatives .
Lets not forget the 4.4 billion pounds lost on stamp duty by basically letting anyone with homes who could afford to sell them to cash in
please log in to view this image Chris Rose @ArchRose90 · 11h We should be very thankful that all it has taken to preserve the NHS was shutting down the economy & society 3 times, not being able to use it & a tax increase to pay for it. Absolute bargain for the envy of the world.
Lets be honest, there still is no plan for social care despite tax rises, there never has been. The tax rises are to cover the billions of pounds spaffed up the wall to test and trace and to Tory party donors for their useless PPE. Our money has helped the rich get richer and now we have to pay more to cover that.
I have to say, I was surprised (and initially impressed) that Johnson had actually tried to tackle the social care issue. I suppose it's an indicator of how low expectations of Johnson and his government are that literally any initiative is welcome. On inspection, though, it's clear that this plan barely scratches the surface of the problem and that the tax increases that will pay for it are regressive and unfair. What are the alternatives, though? Here's what I would propose.... Nationalise the care home industry, taking the profit motive out of people's misery and allowing staff to be properly paid. Care homes would either come under the NHS umbrella, or be run by a separate new state body. Care to be provided as needed and free of charge, paid for as follows: Scrap National Insurance and incorporate it into Income Tax, a new employment tax to replace Ers NI. Increase Income Tax by 2.5%. A 10% 'Death Tax' on the estates of the deceased. Thoughts?
I think you're talking about Inheritance Tax. I'm suggesting a 10% tax on the value of the estate prior to calculation of Inheritance Tax, as I think you probably know.
A further, immediate 10%. What do you make of my other suggestions as compared to Johnson's scratching the surface?
