It might be true and it might be untrue. We have no idea What I do know is that you are naïve to think that Iran has no desire to damage US military assets. Have you noticed there's a war between the two countries?

It will be no classes at all for the schools burned down. Idiotic behaviour.

He won't say. He never substantiates anything. It's usually lies.

This is a stupid, selfish thing to do. Destroying schools is really upsetting for communities and destructive to children's education. Utter madness.

It isn't an oxymoron to say "defensive attack". If the Trojans had attacked the Greeks' ships on the Aegean as they sailed to Troy, would that not have been an act of self-defence?

It isn't going well, is it?

You might have no beef with Iran but Iran has a beef with you and all of us. That's the point I am making.

This is like saying “we will never tolerate fire” as your house goes up in flames behind you.

You obviously have never thought about tactics in war, which is fair enough, why should you?

Most people would say that the duties of leadership include voicing an opinion.

Probably not that good a thing if Iran takes the message that threats from it to the UK, whether real ones or not, can result in a change of military posture. It's an encouragement to Iran.

You are stupidly suggesting that every voter in the land who is troubled by the Greens' decision must have "a Zionist donor". Stop being thick.

000

The Conference specifically voted down this amendment. It made its racism clear to the oublic when it did so.

010

You are not worried that the Greens are going the way of Labour under Corbyn? Internal rancour, split between MPs and members, division between members, factionalism, perceived anti-Semitism, public disquiet, legal problems, EHRC, leader without credibility, electoral under performance?

What do you hope will happen now?

What it comes down to is this. If you’re determined a motion on Zionism isn’t seen as antisemitic, you pass this amendment. Obviously. It was instead rejected twice. First in a pre-conference meeting re: all amendments, then by conference members in the hall. This is now what the Green Party is.

Suggested amendment: This motion shall not be used to pressure, proscribe or discipline members based on affiliation with Jewish community institutions, such as Synagogues, community centres or denominational groups, that describe themselves as Zionist, or used to discipline or sanction Jewish members for holding views that would be non sanctionable if expressed by non Jewish members (such as supporting a binational state, or two state solution).

The amendment was rejected.

Try to get your head around something. Jews are not behind every bad thing in the world.

It isn't free if you want to use it more than occasionally.

You presumably want to remove childcare allowance from those earning £60,000 or thereabouts. No childcare help if you're promoted is quite a bold policy pledge you're thinking of there.

What have those three people done that you disagree with?

Badenoch raised it in a typically inept and insulting way but the cliff edge is criticised by most progressive tax commentators, eg Dan Neidle of Tax Policy Associates.

Whatever the reasons for it originally, the consequence isn't what an economy benefits from.

You're welcome. There's an oddity in the tax system, whereby the tax rate goes up to 60% for salaries between £100k and £125k and then goes sharply down when they climb above £125k. www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics...

Is anything going to change Polanski's mind?

In London, about 12% of workers fall into the £80k to £120k bracket. Your parody of class backgrounds isn't really deserved.

Did Polanski make any statement at all?

What credibility as a leader does he have left after absenting himself from today's conference vote? Cowardly.

Those people currently destroying the Green's are so obsessed with their own superior morality and the 'rightness' of their beliefs they can't see what many of them actually are which is antisemites. Yeah you can be young, progressive, 'believe all the right things' and basically be an antisemite.

Whatever one's lack of sympathy for people in that salary band, it is not a sign of a well designed system that tax take shoots up and then goes down again. There is evidence of people avoiding promotion and reducing their hours to escape the financial hit.

000

After £125k the tax rate then goes down. The 60% tax trap between £100k and £125k is an anomaly that does deserve to be smoothed out. The cliff-edge loss of child care allowance at £100k is another undesirable feature of the tax thresholds.

100

Not quite. After £100k you lose £1 of personal allowance for every £2 above £100k. Eg the tax take on the portion of salary from £100k to £110k would be 60%.

The article is not particularly pro-Badenoch. Journalists do not choose or write the article headline. This headline is not a quote from the article.

Did they not mean 45p on every pound above £100k (in which case they were understating the tax rate)?
