Well that’s a more socialist view of the world (I’m not saying that in a disparaging way). It forgets the view that the few who are net contributors to the tax system need to be incentivised to continue to take the burden rather than killing ourselves to pay for others. This change again would penalise those who have aspired for financial security for themselves and their families. Unfortunately though that seems to be the mentality of the incumbent ruling party. The increase in property values and incomes isn’t “luck of the draw” and doesn’t reflect a significantly reduced cost of living in the north. Can you explain where that has been factored in? Whether you want to or not you are essentially agreeing that he would be increasing current taxes on those in the south and reducing taxes for those in the north.

So he will be taxing the south to pay for the north. Nobody said you shouldn’t invest in some deprived areas. Question is how do you pay for it? Giving tax breaks to citizens from the north at the cost of southerners is nothing more than a vote winner from a party who will struggle in the south in the next GE. To me that’s pretty clear

Property taxes (flat rate percentage) and inheritance tax are the two that have been heavily publicised. This is because property prices in the south are much higher but our cost of living is higher. Living up north is relatively cheap compared to the south and certainly London but this won’t be reflected in the “King of the Norths” policies. It may come as a surprise but these policies are political for the next GE. For the economy he will be worse than Starmer in my opinion

Burnham knows Labour a screwed in the next GE. If he taxes to south to pay for the north he will try to “buy” the red wall back. His speech was full of feel good words a no substance really. All flowers and sunshine now, nasty part to come. Only 3 years left….

I’m not perfect but some of the vitriol on here is off the scale. Cmon chaps it’s sunny and the WC is on!

It’s been a while since I been here. Bloomin heck. Sometimes It’s worse than watching a bunch of 9 year olds in the playground

.

Absolutely-they are economically illiterate- they have no idea of the economic consequences of their policies which is testament to that.

Starmer wasn’t a great PM (I didn’t like him) but he was also only as good as his party and the MPs on the left who forced his hand on certain matters. I would have preferred he stayed rather than the alternative which will be worse. The left of the party have now got their own way. I anticipate greater levels of disgruntlement soon.

Well done - best ignored.

I just explained the various taxes to my 10 year old when running a business and explained that half the money you make goes on tax before you even spend it (when you are taxed again). His response - why do you bother working

Just wait till Burnham gets into power. This is just the start….country run by a party many of which wouldn’t be employable in a normal business (and have never had responsible jobs) but are trusted with making decisions on billions.

More like a shitty stick

Apparently they aren’t though. I’ve been told many times on here that they aren’t despite knowing lots of people that have left. Why would you not want to stay in a country working harder to pay more taxes so Westminster and Whitehall can waste your money, whilst the country deteriorates. It’s the socialist utopia. With AI the job market is going to be very hard for our kids without discouraging investment.

It’s not it’s the Tories fault, oh and Iran, and Brexit. It has absolutely nothing to do with domestic policy whatsoever. Oh and wait till Burnham and the hard left MPs get control. You just want to hibernate until 2029 😂

Wait I heard borough have a file on hull…..I sense a law suit

deserved. Ref tried to give them 15 mins to score. Hackney will be off now

The club value will be low. If someone was looking to buy a club then the baggage wouldn’t follow them. Investors would take a view depending on the price.

I wonder whether solak will sell. Wrongly we are seen as the lepers of the football world and will struggle with sponsors. New owners and new team essentially wipes the slate clean. Would be the best outcome I suspect for everyone

Can’t see how the punishment stands up under scrutiny. It feels like a drinkard has been asked to give the penalty as they haven’t considered the consequences for future matters. Efl is going to get litigious moving forward

So next year we should get a team of lawyers and pursue breaches of every team that is challenging us. Wait until the end of the season and post the package to the efl.

The efl have buggered themselves. So the next team to breach rules worse than this what will they do? Ban them from the league. They have left themselves with nowhere to go

Why would the PL accept a point deduction makes their league less competitive

But can they take off points in the PL? I thought they had no jurisdiction- so it would be next time we are in the championship
