Employ more dentists by cracking down on people who buy farmland to avoid paying tax!

Can’t risk other people being forced to give up their titles! All those Lords in the House of Lords that would come under scrutiny if you set a precedent.

Well, let’s tax Amazon and Starbucks and all those other people that like to Hokey Cokey their profit.

I can assure you, as an NHS worker, my wages have not kept pace with inflation. But that’s okay. I don’t want the money. I want people out of pain, I want people warm and I want people safe and not hungry.

Look, kindness and love win every time. Why don’t you go and find yourself some?

If that is what diversity means to you, I feel sorry for you.

They do nothing better.
But they are allowing us to talk about issues that have been repressed, for one reason or another, and I welcome that.

But I welcome anyone who shows how diversity makes us stronger.

Personally I do not support all their policies - they say all women should have a natural birth.. well that would endanger women and children’s lives

All any of the other parties have given us is lies … don’t make me resurrect the partygate files… let’s be grateful for the opportunity to expand the narrative.

And if we disagreed (which we don’t) then we should be happy that we live in a country where we can amicable disagree!

Their honesty is enough for me.

Then you should get out there and motivate people to demand a better deal

Are they paying their fair share of tax? If yes, great, if no, goodbye.

Look, we will have to agree to disagree. I am one of the luckiest people on earth. I have a job I love, a family I adore and I thank the universe every day for that. I’m happy to support others, to contribute to society and make the world a tiny bit better.

We start living for what we need and not for what people tell us we want.

Trickle down did not work.
It is all relative.
Most people are happy with a job, a small income, a happy family and a chance to make a difference.
Only the greedy make it miserable.

Oh
Well
I missed that
I was just answering your question about rich people leaving due to taxation and my answer remains the same … good.

Some of the happiest people on earth are some of the poorest. Wealth comes from relationships and meaning, not from stocks, shares and a number on your bank balance.

Poverty is relative
If the rich have less, community has more.

Paying tax brings me joy, streetlights to keep women safe at night, hospitals to treat illness, bin men to collect my rubbish, transport to take disabled children to school, the list is endless.
