First and foremost, the uber rich should be taxed, but they never do it, why? because a lot of them actually fall in to the bracket, Starmer is not without plenty of assets, nor the rest of them. Look at Blair with his multi million pound investments and a wife who was a leading barrister earning millions. They bought their son a pad in central London for a million or so years ago whilst Blair was in office from recollection, the media picked up on it, asked numerous questions and there were never answers, just that it was a personal matter for the Blairs! They need to up Stamp Duty as it's ridiculous that those who buy at the top threshold and only just manage it at say around a million, pay the stamp duty as someone who buys for 5 million +, it's never been changed, and why? the reason is for all the parties to keep their chums happy, and themselves. Someone needs to start looking in to Starmers assets along with Reeves and the rest of them, and see how much tax they pay? I suspect it's minimal. In fact, it's criminal!
