If we base it on polls, which I wonder how many of us have taken part in, then maybe If we base it on election results or being found guilty of breaking the law then you get a different result Quote

frank_spencer Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Given the kerfuffle over Angela Rayner's underpaid stamp duty I assume Dicky Tice of Reform will be suitably stepping back following his £600k tax avoidance? Quote
Spider Posted March 16 Posted March 16 No doubt reform supporters will be letting this one pass. Starmer’s fault or summert Quote

Sweep Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Quote Reform UK has suspended one of its candidates for May's Holyrood election less than a day after they were announced. Questions had been raised about Dundee City West candidate Stuart Niven, after newspapers reported that he was disqualified as a company director. The party said had been suspended pending an investigation into allegations around his financial conduct. They'll be coming down the road, apparently Quote

Starmer certainly avoids the question, and I think we'd all like to here some sort of answer, the one thing he is right about though is that it's almost impossible to take anything Farage says seriously these days. With regards to this "stop the boats" bollocks, I'd much rather somebody said "We can't stop them, they'll just keep coming" - as that's the long and short of it, they'll never ever be stopped. Quote
boltonboris Posted March 25 Posted March 25 "Unless we rejoin the EU we won't adequately be able to stop the boats" is and should be the standard response Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 25 Posted March 25 24 minutes ago, boltonboris said: "Unless we rejoin the EU we won't adequately be able to stop the boats" is and should be the standard response Australia isn't in the EU. Greece and Italy made strides towards it, and they are. If ever there was a bag of bollocks reasoning that's it, and such a response would be even greater folly. For the simple point, that if EU nations think so little of human trafficking that they happily pass it on, then the EU isn't worth a jot. Thankfully, the French haven't been quite so indifferent, and have said openly, that they wish the UK would be tougher, so as to help reduce the invasion into their nation too. No doubt such information was ignored when suggesting the standard response. The solutions are readily available, but the political will isn't. Thankfully that will change fairly soon. Quote

Interesting response from him too over his critics' activities. We all use tax avoidance measures, indeed financial advisers make a living helping us make the most of it. Starmer did exactly this over with regards to the land he bought "for his mum and dad to use". Been talked about on here. Where is the line drawn between folk minimising their income tax for their own benefit, and ripping of the tax man? Is it a monetary value, the individual concerned, or the political leaning of folk?
