Yes, income is income, whether it is dressed as dividends or capital gains and it should be taxed as income. It would make the tax system simpler too.

โ€œI would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channelโ€ ๐Ÿ‘

It's clear to everyone the BBC is giving Nigel Farage and Reform far too much coverage.

BBC Political Editor Chris Mason

Whilst trying to persuade the viewers on BBC news yesterday that the BBC is not Reform biased.

Spent half of his interview with Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey talking about Farage.

Yes BBC you are now biased towards the Far-Right.

Ed Davey, "Nigel Farage helped cause the small boat problems, because before Brexit we had 27 return agreements with the EU"

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.

Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

I've just listened to your latest podcast. You said the government needs to be doing things to improve people's lives. Well they are: renter's bill; employment rights; minimum wage; nationalisation of the railways; economy stable; growth; GB Energy. You're choosing to ignore of all that.

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Letโ€™s get this right.

First he says he bought the place.

Then he said he didnโ€™t.

Now Farage is unsure enough to hire expensive tax advisorsโ€ฆ
