They pay lots of tax anyway and they spend a lot of their money in the UK at the moment - but not for long. Labour will get a massive shock and then we are in serious trouble because tax income will drop like a stone. You can be as jealous/envious as you like about the very rich, but how many average Joes - that includes me by the way - will it take to cover the thousands of millions of pounds that will disappear - it isn't possible to cover those amounts and the doo doo will be deeper than ever and that includes after the war! It is a serious concern and given that everything I am hearing from Labour this week is about taxing the rich, then the outcome will not be favourable.

Originally posted by Midlands Eagle This non dom tax has been going to pay for almost everything according to various Labour talking heads but the reality is that all the wealthy people with non dom status will just fook off elsewhere. Labour have obviously forgotten what happened under Harold Wilson when the top earners were taxed so much that they just up sticks and emigrated to a very welcoming USA leaving us short of any worthwhile senior management a number of Tory MPs (Javid and Zahawi) plus the PMs wife had non dom status. They've now cancelled it and remain in the UK. Javid claimed it as his dad is from pakistan, although he himself had never lived there. Where do you think people like him will FO to? Our current PM held a green card even when in No 11. How is that right? Labour hasn't proposed raising any taxes as far as i can see, merely closing a few loop holes.

I'd opt for choosing between Sandor Torghelle or Wayne Andrews upfront however. There was plenty for them to slander each other with, but the arguments for either quickly fell apart and certainly never played out as imagined. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Originally posted by HKOwen Lots of words but very little substance, standard for politicians of all sides. Non Dom tax, Labour seems to think that they can cancel this and all the non dom money will stay in UK and be taxed to raise 3 bn. This is naive at best or deliberately misleading at worst. Clawing back COVID fraud and corruption, I am in general agreement with this but the vast majority of wasted money was organised crime setting up shell companies often from overseas, not a few despicable people taking the P. Trying to turn this into a political witch hunt will not produce results. Labour can't resist trying to make any issue a " class war ". I don't expect much in the way of actual policies until the pre election manifestos are published as is SOP for all sides. The two party system is broken and we now IMO need PR to get more voices represented in parliament The most interesting points were the video after she sat down of fulsome praise from Mark Carney the former head of the Bank of England and the head of the C.B.I. who attended the Labour party conference and praised Rachel Reeves to the hilt. It looks like we have a new Chancellor who will NOT crash the economy like Truss who tried to give away money without it being budgeted for just printing the stuff without any accountancy.

Originally posted by The Dolphin I have it on reasonable authority that large numbers of very wealthy individuals - non-dom or not - are positioning themselves to take everything out of the UK if Labour get in - and i mean everything! The cost to the taxpayer will be eye watering. The Caymens, Portugal and more will all see the wealth from here using their money over there. I think the Bahamas as well. Others here will know more places than me. I seriously do not think that Labour realise the damage that they will cause just because it sits well with the left wing die hards. Ordinary people like us will bear the brunt of this massive drain on tax coming in and very quickly as well. If Rachel Reeves is any good - and she isn't - then she should already have worked it out and got these people onside. It goes further though - no tax coming in but also wealthy people not spending their money in the UK as well - if you think it's bad now - just wait and see how much worse it will be! Your overall assessment, is fairly OK. Caymens? Stupid rich.You asked another place, Bermuda. I have an account there as do others Before people ask, I was born there, OK? This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

How on earth can a vague projection based on pure anecdote be ‘factually correct’? I wish I had as much faith as you that Starmer will do anything close to being as progressive as a wealth tax - I might vote for him if I believed that.
