God help us

Well, the spat between Khan and Trump continues

Sir Sadiq Khan has said that Donald Trump "appears to have a crush" on him after the US President described him as "grossly incompetent".

“ in a cesspool of hate.”

I have come to join you and keep you company with your parallel of hatred to Farage and Reform. You actually have been a bit quite on this front, are you hate postings dropping off for a reason, answers on the back of a stamp please.

ASI, and we know where that will lead us, the dim and distant past. This radical tax overhaul would spark an immediate, catastrophic economic tailspin, plunging the UK into a deep recession and locking it into long-term stagnation. By crushing middle-class disposable income with basic rate hikes and blasting high earners with punitive, 1950s-style 75% marginal rates, the policy would completely choke off consumer spending and trigger an unprecedented flight of capital and elite talent.

The UK would quickly become an international outcast for foreign investment, suffering from chronic brain drain, hollowed-out corporate sectors, and early retirements among vital professionals like senior NHS doctors.Ultimately, this hostile fiscal environment would permanently break the back of UK productivity.

As the country's most vital wealth creators and innovators flee to competitive tax hubs abroad, the tax base would utterly collapse, creating a massive black hole in public finances.

The Treasury would find itself with a shrinking revenue pool, failing public services, and a permanently diminished global economic status, trapped in a self-inflicted spiral of low growth and high inflation.

“ My view and it may be controversial is raise the basic rate of income tax”

JCB, wash your mouth out with sulphuric acid, you can’t say things like that on a Lloyds forum where you have die hard left, left, left leaning Labourites.

They will actively remove your post for highlighting the obvious and the correct thing to do in order to protect the communist dream.

ASI, please don’t take this the wrong way but when I make some posts there is a lot of sarcasm at times and you seem to miss this and take it too literally and go off on one in deep detail which isn’t quiet necessary.

ASI, yes, I do remember the poll tax time. I also remember that with our two children being under five that the poll tax was going to be costly as my wife was at home and not earning at that point.

I was against it for that reason.

ASI, just out of interest then, for those kids in college who you say would have had to pay the poll tax as well, who actually was responsible for that charge, the individual or the parent (s)?

If it is the individuals tax bill then the guardians are not responsible, so would the kids gone to jail for non payment?

Well it looks like there won’t be any ‘special relationship’ between us and the USA. It looks like Burnham has burnt all those bridges totally before he even starts.

His past is catching up with him and Trump has a long memory, all those insults and negativity is being regurgitated right now across the pond.

Say goodbye to any preferential deals that we just secured by the skin of our teeth with Starmer. Perhaps the devil you know…… comes to mind.

ASI, cheers, thanks.

I did say there would be a good chance that we will benefit from this, but it all hinges on the valuation, and right now I am deeply suspicious of the figure they will come up. With regards to poll tax, I remember lots of families moaning that they had late teen kids living at home on low salaries or not working and they would be hit hard, can’t remember the actual details on what that really meant for them.

“ you suggest London needs extra money”

Where did I actually say ‘London’ in my post? I actually used the word ‘South’. You and many people automatically think of London when you look at these scenarios. There are plenty of places outside of London, more in the real world than London with a ‘think of a figure and quadruple it mentality’.

Apologies will be accepted in this case, which you always claim to do.

Notice you didn’t come back to me on my situation of living in an area that has seen very little movements in 30 years?

I shouldn’t be moaning too much as the new option will probably save me some money. When we moved here in ‘93 we were in the bottom of the band so I would like to think a house valuation will work for me, but I am not counting on it as I suspect the valuation will be higher to justify a higher income. I can see some legal challenges coming along, TV ads chasing people to fight against it. Is this another poll tax disaster?

ASI, well that will be difficult where we are as most home owners have been here 30 years or more and there are different house styles, so your system won’t have anything to reference with.

“ Any valuation will be on the high side”

And you can see how this will work. My father in law passed away in January and his wife survives him. For probate we needed three valuations. First came in at £675k, second at £700k and a third stupidly at £800k. We had to get a fourth as to the differences, which came in at £700k

So you can see which figure Burnham will use. It’s all going to end in tears for Burnham.

So, there will be a work force created to revalue our homes once a year for this purpose then? In the south there may be a slump in values, as there has been from about two years ago, will that be reflected or will the ‘valuation’ keep it artificially high because it suits the system. If you sell a home for ‘x’ and the valuation was ‘y’, will you legally be able to challenge the Burnham valuation.

I believe I read somewhere that the north will benefit and some of the the increased income from the south will be diverted to the north, sounds like corruption already, the south that needs this money by having more people living there will not see any improvements or benefits.

I can see a second property crash in the south to skewer poor old Burnham.

As grizzle said, just an opinion and open to corruption, good old Burnham, hasn’t thought it through.

“good ridden for messing up our economy and businesses. She needs to have a degree in Economics”

When she applied for the post she put down Economics. What she forgot to write down it was ‘Home Economics’, but even then she wasn’t very good at that as she admitted there was too much month at the end of the money.

It only applies to Cash Interest, If you hold uninvested cash sitting on the sidelines of an investment account—perhaps waiting for a good time to buy shares—any interest that cash pays out will be hit with a flat 22% tax deduction

Well when it concerns labour it isn’t difficult is it?

“Rachel is basically toxic at this stage!”

And what do we have to look forward to, Milliband or Rayner, two more losers.

ASI, well, sounds like a predictable Labour PM in the making then. God help this county then.
