It’s about time high earners had a tax break

A salary of £100,000 is not the lavish payday it used to be — politicians need to stop penalising the aspirational

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)

Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.

As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.

“The Tories are taking the public for fools. Across 14 years in government, they added just 500 prison places and closed 23 prisons. Now Kemi Badenoch expects the British people to believe they'll build 50,000."

The myth of Thatcher nursing the "sick man of Europe" back to fiscal health is an illusion based on North Sea tax receipts. Austerity coincided with the loss of that income.

Our response to Andy Burnham's Labour Party Conference speech 💬 #TaxTheSuperRich

We welcome the Prime Minister's vision to bring hope back to our country and communities.
And we repeat our longstanding message: we're ready to play our part by paying our fair share, so Britain gets the investment it needs to make that vision a reality.
This country helped to build our success. So millionaires like us must be taxed more. It's our turn to step up first and help build a better future for everyone.

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

What’s your legacy Johnson? Brexit. Total collapse of trust in politics. And this. The small boats symbolise your dishonesty and your failure. You’re responsible for nothing but damage. Not one good thing. Not one proud moment. You’re forever a shameful disgrace who threw his own mandate in the bin.

Too bad that there isn't a SoS at the Home Office more interested in communicating the true picture on asylum seeker arrivals, rather than letting the RW media get in a lather about 781 refugees arriving yesterday. Barely a fucking word from the media on how much lower the figures are vs Tory years.
