Saw someone the other day saying Labour is the only party that will acknowledge that trade offs exist, but also that they keep picking the side of the trade off guaranteed to annoy their voters, which seemed like a pithy summary of politics.

    Yes, we’re doing totally fine, we don’t need the wealthy to pay their taxes. /s

      Okay, for the third comment in a row - is it too much for people to read these articles before they comment? I don’t think you’ve even read the headline properly, given that ‘a wealth tax’ is not the same thing as ‘the wealthy paying their taxes’!

        A tax on wealth is about wealthy people paying tax, because they aren’t taxed through work. But yes, reading the article is too much work. Guilty.
