NI going back to 10%. It's called National Insurance which is exactly what we need. 60% to the military, 25% to the NHS, 15% for case by case national needs, starting with an investment in protecting/expanding the water supply.

0% VAT on water butts and accessories.

0% VAT on energy/water.

Further weapons, resources, materials and cash for Ukraine. Gift aid on any public donations.

Food, water and medicine drops by air into Gaza. Not asking Israel for permission, we're just doing it. Any allies welcome to join.

A new English national anthem for sporting events.

Two new bank holidays to move us towards the European average. One being an unashamedly pro Britain celebration of our culture with all who live here welcome to join in.

Increasing capital gains allowance to 10k. Being taxed on investments paid for with income which has already been taxed deserves a bigger allowance IMO.

VAT to go up to 25% on any purchase over £5000 which is not considered a household essential.

Sanctions on Russia to be scaled up significantly.

Force social media companies to ask for proof of ID to sign up. Tired of seeing disgusting posts with no consequences. This is not a freedom of speech issue, it's an abuse issue.

Energy security. Subsidies on solar panels and other renewables.

Martin Lewis to be offered the job of Chancellor.

"abhorrent that you're taxed twice on the same money."

I have a genuine question about this, as I've this sentiment lots.

Doesn't this happen all the time? Any time I pay VAT I'm being taxed again on money I've probably paid tax on.

And even then, inheritance tax is paid by the inheritor who quite literally be receiving something for nothing. It's new money / assets to them so they would only be taxed once on it.


Also, a lot of most inheritance is likely to be a house on which its rise in value wouldn't previously have been taxed.

I've never understood why IHT causes such anger.

Literally no one pays it. Those who had the wealth are dead. The dead person's estate pays IHT if due and those who inherit get a chunk of cash for which have not done a day's work and they get it tax free.

If people want to pass on all their wealth they can give it away when they alive.

Seems to me some very wealthy people want their kids to get big inheritances for which the kids haven't worked themselves. The entitlement of the wealthy who want their children to also be wealthy....but only after they die.

Boo-hoo, poor landlords, scraping by- must be tough!
No one needs more than two homes and nobody should be profiteering off of someone else's need to have a home.

If I was PM, all third properties would be compulsory purchased and returned to council house stock, as I said in my post.

"rental properties in my business" lol

With the forest on your shoulder you obviously rent. You do know how a mortgage works? How do people unable to afford to buy a property live then? Because any business or council according to you cannot own more than 2 properties.

I do currently rent, although that’s temporary- I’m a former home owner - sold my stake to ensure my disabled son has security in the future. I’m 38 years old, I’m well aware how a mortgage works and more importantly, how people created “business” around people’s inherent need for shelter.

I’m not sure if you’re being wilfully obtuse- but I’ve clearly stated twice already that council house stock would be replenished by compulsory purchase of all of these parasites properties.
Clearly in this fictional scenario, I’m happy with local authorities owning more than one property…

My issue is in the accepted predatory behaviour and practises that currently masquerading as “business” and are normalised.
No one individual needs more than one house- not many legitimately require two!

A big rise in the minimum wage for health care workers, NHS etc, etc. Never worked in it and retired so it's not to benefit me, just those that thoroughly deserve it. Just ask my friend who a few weeks back was very suddenly a hairs breath from death, now he's living as if hardly anything had happened.

Oh my, the only other person I've ever come across that says that about chocolate, I'd be a little more lenient, but it beggars belief how any " chocolate " bar under 51% cocoa content can be called so. Chocolate flavour yes, nothing else, as half the ingredients or more aren't even chocolate.

Not having that. Sorry if you're allergic to it, but it's an irreplaceable, nutritionally important product for those with gut disease or anyone needing to put on weight generally.

Like many other elderly divorced, widowed or single people, council tax now takes 33% of my net income. Not our fault that property values have shot up. We are cash poor, asset "rich" yes, but only when we die. Sorry, but CT rising to 50% of net income would mean a choice of either eating or heating, not both.

(And no I can't relocate due to health, before anyone starts on that).
