And the CONservative approach of 'well everyone else can't be trusted either' seems to be 'cutting through' as they like to say. But just maybe most of the population isn't quite as empty headed as that suggests. Certainly not those in Tiverton, Honiton and Wakefield.

With all their failings; and it’s easy to point upwards, they are still a better vote for me and mine.

Hook, line and sinker The gap between the richest in society and the rest of the population has widened over the 10-year period; the income share of the richest 1% increased from 7% to 8.2% between FYE 2011 and FYE 2020. Do you wanna buy a bridge?

In real terms (adjusted for inflation), in January to March 2022, average pay fell on the year at negative 1.2%. (ONS). In January to March 2022, the finance and business services sector had the largest growth rate (10.7%), partly because of strong bonus payments (Figure 5). Public sector pay dropped relative to private sector pay by an extra 6.6% So let’s all become bankers. Who needs care assistants and nurses anyway. There is absolutely no need to rein in those that have power and money from using their positions to get more. Well done them for being born into the right families, that’s what I keep telling Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher. He can even afford three middle names.

Another way of looking at it is that those bankers bonuses will have had an awful lot of tax and NI deducted from them which in turn, in these troubled times, will help to pay the public sector wages of all those nurses & care workers...... what goes around, comes around.

Well that is very decent of them. At least they pay their tax in the uk (sometimes). I am sure those whose real income is dropping massively will appreciate that. Even though it is they who reinforce the inflationary pressure that drives the pay reductions.

Do you wanna buy a bridge? I don’t care about how rich some are. Or how big the gap is etc etc. That doesn’t have any direct link to how poor others are unless you can find me one.

So it’s ok the lower paid jobs have gone into reverse and higher paid jobs increasing. Presumably the higher paid just keep getting better and better and the lower paid worse and worse. Longer term that will of course create social division. Good job the Government is on top of all things criminal. Except of course in the Met region. And before that Greater Manchester. And before that Cleveland. I am so pleased we have such a capable government.

And another element of having a government that looks after its friends Income from property, interest, dividends and other investment income – sometimes called unearned income, as most of it does not come directly from work – rose by more than 40% between 2010-11 and 2015-16, the most recent year for which HMRC figures are available. However, the gains were massively concentrated among the top 10% of Britons, whose unearned income doubled from an average of £19,000 each to more than £38,000 – well above the average household income of around £25,000 in 2015-16. You will of course know that no social charges are paid on unearned income, so Becky can’t excuse this. And no, I am not envious. Neither am I jealous, that is the point. I have plenty but I am not fiercely protective of it, I would prefer everyone to have opportunities not the few.
