I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highwaysSee Sunak is playing the outsider card now , he,s going to have to find some kind of angle to come at Truss , let’s face it he’s going to have to fight dirty ….not sure he’s man enough for that

“D’oh” you blotted my copybook Homer and I was lazily quoting the 22/23 rate on divis.
“Furthermore, despite bowing to pressure to pay UK tax on future income and for the last tax year, Murty will retain her non-dom status. This could in future allow her family to legally avoid paying inheritance tax.”
The last tax year referred to in the BBC report (written after 5 April) was 21/22 and last date for submission as stated is end of December so as stated earlier watch this space and it will be paid more likely if Rishi’s address is next door at no 10. He cleverly says he was there every single day in the cabinet room but remember he was living in the flat above next door at no.11.
There is no inheritance tax in India and the benefit has not been struck out and pertains to non doms from India. Murty will save £280 million ( on her current wealth ) in later inheritance tax if she keeps her status and 3.5 million is definitely the much smaller sacrifice for the status of being Mrs UK.
All good tax planning on her part I suggest and hubby has planned things well too.
He gave up his green card ( she retains hers) After he flew home early last December from a four day trip to greet and meet the Silicon Valley mob – tech entrepreneurs and I wonder if Cleggy legged it over and shared a cold one with the chancellor. Might have even met him in Santa Monica at his wife’s Baywatch penthouse. Who knows ? These contacts could be useful if America is later on his horizon. He flew back early to stop another lockdown arguing from a business perspective. This has been challenged but not that he was against it – no for him to hurry up home.He seemed quite unblinking and relaxed as Liz attacked his special schooling in the TV debate. He’ll need to put his leathers on and gear up at the Monday meet, but also remember not to hurt Liz too much – he must look the ‘statesman’ rather than the bully. Highly interesting and he’s probably thinking in the background is hasta La vista Rishi waiting for him, if he wins this, and that would be an altogether gloves off with his old boss, and possibly the end of the machines.
In a past life I used to walk by the vast playing fields of Westminster College and see the boys playing cricket in their impeccable whites. I was never a team player – in fact I would run for six and off the pitch and find a remote hill or downy grassland to chew my own space – as a solitary cream piece.
I bumped into Bill Cash yesterday crossing the main road in Kensington. We share the same doctor but he’s a eurosceptic but quite an entertaining man none the less. He was walking on crutches but met Graham Greene in Antibes as a young man and I like Graham Greene but unlike Bill – Graham Greene never wrote to me, in fact I have never visited Antibes, and I am not a distant cousin of Johnny Cash as he his, but have been known to walk the line dressed up disguised as a chicken.
I just nodded, didn’t speak to him. I know things are getting bad in this country because when I popped in to get a free Daily Mail to share with my cheap coffee they told me to please come back at 5pm – how terrible. As I was drinking my second coffee I saw a very well dressed Richard Kay walk past my window. He was suited and wearing a tie. He wasn’t carrying a Daily Mail but maybe he had popped in there – he’s retired I 💭 – maybe it’s a case of old habits !!!“One line slogans is the best they can do“
There’s absolutely no point in writing long, detailed answers to your posts as, no matter how much evidence is presented to you, you simply refuse to change your mind.
What a laughable response
I gave you the three main economic indicators. That doesn’t take a long answer does it?
You stated that our economy was seemingly finished before Covid and yet you can reference NOTHING at all
I’ll help you along 2019
Uks unemployment rate of under 4% was half the eu average
Growth 1.4 % was slightly below France 1.8 and above Germany. 1.1
Inflation was negligible of course
Doesn’t take much does it?
But that’s not exactly an economy that’s gone “tits up” is it?
The purpose of the economy is to support society as a whole- not just the elite.
NHS waiting lists and food bank use were already on the increase, while wages in real terms were on the decrease, before Covid came along.
But you carry on ignoring those facts.
No. The economy is not measured by food banks any more than its measured by sales of Bentleys
And the FACT is that is measured and determined by numbers and nothing else not how it’s distributed
“The economy is not measured by food banks”
About time it was. The poverty of the population ought to be the governing factor for policy in a so-called developed nation.
Why, “Sir Cherryade of Hampshire,” of course, Purwell.
Or Godfather.
Obviously.

“No. The economy is not measured by food banks”
Your lack of basic comprehension skills betrays you, once again. I said that the country was tits-up, not the economy.
“The poverty of the population ought to be the governing factor for policy in a so-called developed nation.”
Absolutely spot-on, Tonge. We are forever told that the creation of wealth benefits all in society (“trickle down” economics and all that bull); if that’s the case, why has the gap between rich and poor widened enormously over the last dozen years and the number of people living in poverty increased?
Anyway, today’s topic for both Truss and Sunak is immigration. Plenty of red meat thrown to the party membership this morning. Fishy Rishi has potentially alienated a large section of the electorate by stating, in today’s Telegraph, that the government has failed to “take back control” of our borders since the Brexit vote.
