Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’
Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’
Treasury minister refuses to say whether those who rent out properties will be covered by Labour manifesto promise
That is pretty factual, isn't it? Assuming they don't have another employment and they are living from dividends or rents, they are not working people.
Don’t make me start to think positively of this guy.
Holy shit, me and Starmer agree on something.
Weirdly he seems to have a problem with expressing things. If you actually look at their policies they're pretty good it's just they suck at communicating them to the general public.
Where’s the lie?
The article is in the telegraph. So that's the lie right there.
It's probably better to find a non-partisan news source, thing with a bit more integrity like the Kremlin times or something
This. The whole bias of the article is a lie.
He did not say "landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people" he did not even suggest it.
When asked that question, he said, "they are not included in my definition." That definition being of working taxes.
They are also not included in the Tory definition. This is why they have been paying capital gains tax rather than income tax.
Unless the people complaining are also arguing capital gains tax should end. And all investment income should be taxed under income tax. The whole debate is a lie designed to sow division.
I do not see any house renter looking to pay at income tax rates when selling property. Or pay income tax on all rent paid to the landlords.
And id love to see these right wing jurnalists answer to. "Oh sorry are you aguing rental share and property income should be taxed at PAYE rates?"
rare starmer w
He was a secret Marxist all along. The Daily Mail was right!
Something something broken clock
That's totally unfair! Some of them might have actual jobs too!
A few anyways.
