Can’t see that happening sadly with these morons in charge.

She’s already shown she’s incompetent. Growth reduced to 0.1% in her first quarter at Number 11. Wasn’t growth her #1 priority ? Pathetic. Labour are not fit for office.

Wasn’t growth 0.7% and 0.5% in the previous 2 quarters under the Tories ? There’s Labour for you. An absolute shower.

Labour have talked down Britain since they came to power. No wonder growth is now where it is. Labour are unfit for office. Only a few mugs on here think otherwise.

Green lines. Must be a guilty conscience. I never mentioned any name.

There tends to be a correlation between thread deletion and a certain poster being present as an agent provocateur and wind up merchant.

Be nice to see these above £5 again where they belong.

Hi 88. My grandfather was Irish so I can go down this route thankfully. I didn’t want to have to move abroad but this inheritance tax grab on pensions will take 30% of my total assets. Labour obviously has it in for the private sector. USA and Caribbean sounds good 👍 Came back from a week in the USA yesterday.

Looks like Lulu is active again today judging by the green lines. Hasn’t he got multiple businesses he should be running instead of spending another day trolling on here ? The biggest Walter Mitty I’ve seen on this BB.

Thanks DCB. Much appreciated. I visited estate agents there recently and knew about the 10% fee. Am applying for an Irish passport to get round the 90 day rule. Canary Islands have 0.01% inheritance tax. I’m not giving 40% of my pension to this thieving, incompetent Labour government. They have applied a retrospective taxation on unused pensions pots which is grossly unfair and an absolute outrage. I had planned on living off the dividends from my pension pot and leaving the capital to my children. Now Labour want to steal 40% of it to fund their own final salary pensions. Scum.

We can live in hope TFE. I’d like to see a mass taking to the streets to show the levels of discontent with these lying, hypocritical, champagne socialist charlatans. Starmer, Reeves and Rayner are 3 of the worst politicians in recent living memory.

He’s probably a disciple of Jeremy Corbyn Dorfan. Says it all really 🙄

Indeed LeeRex,

I’m getting the same green lines. You’d think he wouldn’t have time to be on here with all the businesses he claims he runs 🤣

More British businesses are being wound up after the Government reduced tax breaks and increased taxes on entrepreneurs.

At least 1,022 companies filed for insolvency last week, up 64pc on the same time a year ago, according to notices filed to the Gazette.

It comes after the Chancellor reduced a tax break known as business asset disposal relief in her Budget last month.

It gave entrepreneurs a lower capital gains tax rate of 10pc on up to £1m of gains from a business sale.

However, the Chancellor increased the tax to 14pc for business disposals made on or after April 6 2025. It will rise from 14pc to 18pc for disposals made on or after April 6 2026.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. Unfit for office these morons are.

That’s the one MV. So busy running his businesses that he has no time to spend his Saturdays or weekdays trolling on here for attention. The name Walter Mitty springs to mind……

There’s a few that pretend they’re Lloyds shareholders on here. One even said he’d bought Lloyds shares just to join the fray here recently and then announced he’d won £10,000 on the premium bonds this month that he was giving to a refugee charity. Fanciful in the extreme and a load of nonsense. I guess where there are internet forums, you are always going to get the odd troll sadly.

Most stocks are up today and the US market is leading the way. Even this awful shower in charge here haven’t spoilt the party for once today.

DCB,

Being in the EU is going to be the ball and chain in dealing with Trump. No wonder the pound is strengthening against the Euro.

No we’re not headed for a booming economy DCB. You can thank your beloved Labour for that.

Britain’s biggest pubs, hotels and restaurants have told Rachel Reeves they face being forced to shut sites and make “drastic” job cuts after the Chancellor launched a tax grab on employers.

In a letter to Ms Reeves, more than 200 hospitality bosses warned the sharp increases in National Insurance contributions (NICs) were “unsustainable” and would lead to venues shutting down and slashing jobs within a year.

Ms Reeves last month announced an increase in NICs paid by employers from 13.8pc to 15pc. The threshold at which employers become liable to pay the tax also dropped from £9,100 to £5,000 per year. Both changes will come into effect from April next year.

The letter, organised by trade body UKHospitality, said the changes would cost the sector an estimated £3.4bn annually. Among the signatories are JD Wetherspoon, Wagamama owner The Restaurant Group, Young’s, and Whitbread, which owns Premier Inn, the UK’s largest hotel chain.

A hotel tycoon has scrapped plans to invest around £20m in his hospitality empire as he hit out at Rachel Reeves’s inheritance tax raid for being “anti-business”.

Steve Perez, who runs a string of upmarket hotels and restaurants in the East Midlands as well as the drinks company Global Brands, said the potential cost to his family if he died meant there would be little incentive to expand.

Mr Perez was granted planning permission to add a spa and 27 bedrooms to his Peak Edge hotel, which is on farmland, and was about to apply for permission to install a new canning line at his drinks factory in Clay Cross, Chesterfield.

However, he said he has since reversed course on the investment over concerns that the Chancellor’s changes to inheritance tax relief will leave his family with a huge tax bill when he dies.

He said: “I have absolutely stopped it. I’d be crazy to invest all that money because I’m just going to give my family a big headache in the future.”
