ok - I'm not defending it. But my view is that its blatantly obvious these folk are at it and this should actually prevent folk from voting for them.

As I said, it's very easy to be in a bubble seeing loads of this stuff on social media and realising how blatant it is. But it could potentially do them some damage. I guess we won't really know until Friday.

Sorry lost interest as soon as you said that, I never have liked the green eyed monster outlook, as it leads to wrong policies.

So is greed and gluttony acceptable because the person who highlights it or raises it is envious?
Moral compass must be playing up..

again, the same old vitriol assuming that the press is to blame, or lying politicians and nobody can make their own mind up or if they do they are wrong as they have been duped by charlatans!!!!!!! And that lies and spin only come from one side......

I posted

...and so what do the Brexit Party supporting electorate do when they do not have a Brexit Party candidate to vote for, and their hero Nigel is today again telling them that Johnson's deal is not Brexit, and that Johnson is basically lying when he says vote Tory to Get Brexit Done - because it won't be.

Oh I could LOL with Farage actually telling the truth about GBD - if it weren't so miserably depressing that these two charlatans have brought us to this mess.

Where in what I posted did I assume the press is to blame? Where did I say anyone was lying? Where is the vitriol you accuse me of? I merely pointed out that FARAGE is calling Johnson a liar over GBD by telling Brexit supporters that what Johnson is saying about GBD is not true - if it's not true then what is it?

I guess Corbyn said again that anyone earning under £80k wouldn't pay more tax which us a total lie

Remind me again which policy in the Labour manifesto will result in increased taxes for those earning less than £80k - I can't remember...

Self-employed? Not sure that self-employed can say for 100% how much they do earn in a year. The nature of being self-employed. But OK.

Removing the marriage allowance will cost those of us claiming it £240 a year. When confronted by Andew Neil about it Corbyn said " well it's only £240"

ah right - it only makes sense if one of the couple earns less than £12,500.

So if I am a wealthy banker and my husband does a wee job in a shop - then I - the wealthy banker - can get an additional £1,250 added to my personal allowance. I see. :)

Note: Use of 'wealthy banker' and 'wee job in a shop' are purely illustrative examples of jobs a couple could hold.

But I agree - this being the case then for many lower earning married couples it is appropriate that measures should be put in place to compensate that lower earning couple for the loss.

Strange reply to say, as a self employed person doesn't 100% know what they may earn, then we can just dismiss it. Crazy thinking. You can say the same about PAYE people, may lose their jobs, But OK.

As I posted earlier on the thread :-

A edit basic rate tax payer Limited company owner receiving dividends, will find the dividend tax increasing from 7.5% to 20%.

In addition they have said they will remove the dividend allowance of £2000 which currently is at 0%, then taxed at 20%

Married couple allowance transfer will affect some people, who can do that.

Corporation tax increasing from 19% to 21%, affects Ltd earning profits above ZERO

Taxing Capital Gains at income tax levels

VAT on private school fees (you don't have to be earning £80k each for this to affect someone)

Second Homes Tax (you don't have to be earning £80k, this could be due a house left to you, or holiday home etc for example)

Don't get me wrong, some of the above I can agree with, but to believe only people earning 80k and above are paying for this, is wrong.

Maybe I can suggest again you read this :-

https://labour.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Funding-Real-Change-1.pdf

This for business, on top of the non tax changes, will just be unaffordable. And you need to read the manifestos to get the knowledge.
