Has he done anything illegal or is he just using the tax breaks create by different governments tories, labour and liberal. Why are you not shouting at reeves as she has had 2 budgets and not done anything about them. You are coming across as a petty individual now. If he has broken the law ie tax evasion, throw the book at him, if not shout at the people in charge that can do something about it

Starmers just announced he will guide UK calmly through the storm. Brexit did deep damage, so new summit with EU partners, closer economic and security measures in the interests of the British people.

His response to Trump saying he will pull out of NATO is correct too.

Asked about Trump's interview with the Telegraph at a Downing Street briefing just now, Sir Keir Starmer said: "NATO is the single most effective military alliance the world has ever seen.

"It's kept us safe for many decades and we are fully committed to NATO."

Starmer added that "whatever the pressure" on him and other national leaders, he would put the "national interest" first and keep the UK out of the war.



I think we are already working on trade deals with Canada, new ones in place with China and now India want new deals with the UK and EU. Although they are still important for trade, it seems that America is becoming less relevant the longer that Trump is in charge.

Key Proposals to Reduce Avoidance
  • A 2% Annual Wealth Tax: A 2% tax on total assets (minus debt) for fortunes exceeding £10 million. He argues this targets the "hoarded wealth" that avoids traditional income taxes.
  • Eliminating Tax Havens and Loopholes: closing various loopholes exploited by large corporations and individuals to make back billions lost to avoidance. This includes:
    • Universal Registration: Linking all financial accounts directly to a Social Security number to ensure no wealth is hidden in anonymous offshore accounts.
    • Closing Specific Exemptions: For example, removing stamp duty exemptions that allow wealthy investors to buy multiple homes (seven or more) tax-free.
  • Exit Taxes for Relocation: To counter the argument that the rich will leave, a 50% exit tax on all unrealised gains (stocks, assets, bank balances) for those who renounce citizenship to move abroad.
  • Taxing Assets, Not Residency: since the wealth originates from local assets (land, property, companies), the owners should be taxed regardless of where they physically live.

Rationale Behind These Changes
  • Preventing "Wealth Spirals": without taxing assets, the rich will continue to outcompete the middle class for limited resources like housing, leading to "economic collapse".
  • Restoring Market Balance: making corporations pay their "fair share" ensures the continued existence of a thriving consumer market for their own goods by protecting the spending power of the working and middle classes.
  • Equalising Tax Rates: aligning capital gains tax with income tax rates so that those making money from wealth pay the same percentage as those earning it through work.
Better do this than be a pair of right wing gimps like you Ben and Ron the castle wall.

Woo hurty words from left wing extremists
You have not got a clue mate most of what you want is governed by INTERNATIONAL LAW, read the worrds INTERNATIONAL not British law, i want ALL TAX avoiding stopped by we cannot do it alone or you would cripple the economy as the people who pay most taxes (not %) also own most of the companies They leave after paying your wealth tax in first year with their companies then who is going to pay it 2nd 3rd 4th year etc definitely not the spongers who don't have a day's working them.
