Can't imagine why he'd do that if it was considered to be so normal. It obviously bothered Nandy as well, seeing as yesterday she lied and said Mrs Balls didn’t attend the concert.

Grifting is the way things are!); diversion (the other kids lie and are crooked too!); Can't see what they did wrong ( I'm paying back some of it...because...something...but I wasn't wrong); further lying (they weren't there! the tickets were for someone else! No pile of freebies changes our mind at all!) So avoidable by any party who actually had an interest in reducing troughing and corruption.

Although Sky News milking this one as they think they have some sort of scoop. Boring as fuck. i await Hypo saying how disappointed he is as Yvette Cooper is just the same as Boris Johnson Problem is that when if it was a Tory you'd be all over and talking corruption etc, but as its your preferred politics its a case it doesn't matter. Getting tickets and preferential treatment when you are in power is done not because they like the individual its in the hope what influence or what they may get back in return. Do you really believe that the man who gave Starmers thousands of pounds worth of gifts would have done so ,if there wasnt a hope of a return in the future?

Are you making a distinction between corporation tax and CGT? I don’t have a problem with CGT but I would prefer a tax to target the extremely wealthy. There are always scare stories supported by an ideology of reduce taxes and economy grows faster and everyone is better off - largely bs (see Liz Truss mini budget) but suits the powerful. I have recently been watching the Bill Gates series on Netflix and he said he is constantly amazed why he isn’t taxed more. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Good times podcast this week where they essentially say that the messaging has been complete crap. They understood that they had to make things look as terrible as possible to try to blame everything on the previous administration but it then requires a level of optimism about how they are going to fix things and about how they were going to make things better which is not a message they have communicated yet. You'd imagine the budget would be the big chance to try to start that so they better hope they have something really positive to report outside of the doom and gloom baiut the supposed black hole that hey apparently knew nothing about.
