Apparently so. Why did he make the comment that defence spending wont be at the cost of social security. That to me seems like he isnt going to cut it. Using defence spending needs outlined by NATO would be a great justification for most other people to explain why they need to cut welfare, if thats what they really intended on doing. "Really sorry I need to cut your allowances but NATO says the Russians are invading so I need to spend more on planes and tanks to protect you and your family" - great excuse. So why did Burnham make that specific statement? He said he will get the wefare bill down in the 'Labour Way', which I imagine means increasing it!

I just dont want to fight them with a pitchfork and some hot water because the money that would have been for my rifle and helmet was spent on fat Mo's cigarettes.

Welfare before national security - embarrassing. The Russians are coming but as long as Fat Mo can buy her fags, thats what matters. The Tories are no better either - hypocrites. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yw3223w1vo

Embarrassing response.

Played well. Made the right decisions throughout the game. Also he hasn’t played much football recently. Give him a run in the team and I think he will start to influence the game more. i remember when his free kicks were a threat teams didn’t want to tackle our players around the edge of the area. That could help scienza

Conveniently you have both taken the single case in isolation. The articles identify that higher numbers of billionaires and millionaires are leaving, alongside this guy. It’s a clear trend not an isolated case. What we also were talking about is lost tax revenue from these people which would actually improve the public services and infrastructure. It appears the government would prefer to shift that lost tax revenue liability to those left.

Nothing we can do about it? How about changing policy direction! Contrary to your unevidenced assumption, we now have the lowest number of millionaires in the uk for the past two decades with a key factor being their emigration, due to government policy. https://www.adamsmith.org/press-releases/number-of-uk-millionaires-at-lowest-level-since-global-financial-crisis .

You dont need to reduce it to £100k PA for them to stay, both the Tories and Labour needed to make the conditions more favourable. People that are established within a country dont want to leave unless they feel forced to and the balance of pros and cons is tilted to the extent that they decide they need to leave. Its never as black and white as saying we must match Greece. The subsequent responses to @Osvaldorama are deflecting from the point he is making because people dont want to face the reality of the impact of left leaning policies like this. Calling them 'greedy bastards' is just immature when you will start to likely see a loss in tax revenue and, notwithstanding that, investment in our country from those people. It already has and will continue to result in tax rises for the remaining net givers and businesses who will have to (again) shoulder the burden, further disincentivising them. The whole strategy is very poorly thought out, despite having been proven again and again in other countries that taxing the wealthy does not to work in terms of increased tax revenues. Maybe those that support these policies could dip into their own pockets to fund the shortfall and save the rest of us the pain. Anyway, I thought we werent losing billionaires and millionaires anyway so this conversation surely isnt happening 🤣

And public services

Not really - I produce information that supports what I say. You make childish comments and provide no information to support your childish comments

So what about all the other billionaires and the second article? Also why did he decide to move now and not before (I’m not aware the Swiss tax regime has become more favourable than before) at a similar time to lots of others - is that just an unhappy coincidence? Also what about his comment regarding other billionaires leaving? John Fredrikson: He then relocated his empire to Dubai, joining a growing exodus of billionaires seeking the UAE's tax-friendly environment. And with one final parting shot, he told newspaper outlets that "Britain has gone to hell".

It was called the 2008 financial crisis

The richest billionaires who have left Britain Yes only 1 billionaire! See article for some of the more high profile that have left and their reasons why."...The German-born investor has now relocated to Switzerland, joining the wave of wealthy financiers fleeing the UK. Reflecting on his decision to go, Angermayer said: "Every non-dom I know has left, or is about to leave"...". At the end of July it was reported that the number of millionaires in the UK has fallen to its lowest level is two decades. Are the rich leaving the UK due to high taxes?

My opinion is they are a similar ability. It would be unusual for someone of Ramsdales profile to remain at the club and not play at all. Peretz is there on merit but if he has a wobble I’d be surprised if Ramsdale didn’t get a call up in that scenario

I’m surprised ramsdale will still be here and that we wouldn’t play him

Odds on Everton to go down have tumbled!

Scholterback made a massive difference. Seemed to give the team more confidence knowing we had someone at the back who we can rely on

I think he’s done well. Got lots of balls into the box

What a cross

Bragg is non existent. We have no control and that’s his main job

Very surprised there is no interest in ramsdale. I reckon we will have to loan him and subsidise part of his wages.

Only 1 year left in contract too. Can’t watch another year of him

Just take it

If they offered nothing it would be acceptable
