The **** is guilty, freeze his assets and seize all his land and sell it off, fuck the ****, he ran away overseas so should forfiet it all.Haven't they already said they're going to go after as much of the Covid fraud as possible, and are setting up a Covid fraud commission to do this?
As for the Bamford tax case - they've said they'll target the tax gap (https://labour.org.uk/updates/stori...n-on-tax-dodgers-to-fund-our-schools-and-nhs/), but given that's a case that the HMRC have been investigating for some time (and I assume is still open), pretty sure she doesn't have the power to announce that she's decided he's guilty and take the money today.
And what's your point?Dear oh dear, you are hurting. You said they wouldn't budge but what you meant to say was the Tories were not prepared to be grown up and even attempt to sort it.
Oh, my daughter works in the NHS so stop trying to be clever thinking you know it all
I don't know where this idea comes from that pensioners are being "taxed again" because they have to pay income tax on their private pensions. You get tax relief on your pension when you put the money in, and then pay that tax back when you claim the pension (in most cases, at a lower rate than they would have paid when working). It's basically a way of deferring your tax until later.That will be extremely unfair on people who have worked hard and paid tax on all their earnings, they make the sacrifice only to be taxed again on the same money. As always it's the middle earners who will suffer. The wealthiest will no doubt not won't kop for much as usual.
Always a bloody catch:-)Pension Credit tops up: your weekly income to £218.15 if you're single. your joint weekly income to £332.95 if you have a partner
Obviously you have to be at pension age
What are you on about. Removal of the winter fuel payment from those that don’t need it is hardly a tax hike. It’s a benefit cut that Tories should be delighted about.That will be extremely unfair on people who have worked hard and paid tax on all their earnings, they make the sacrifice only to be taxed again on the same money.

They won't take away the whole 12 k ,but they might say that you already have an income of £10 k from a private/works pension, so you don't need the full state pension, therefore we reduce your state pension to 8k.
Labour has a huge majority in The Commons and they can virtually introduce any legislation they want to.
After all, I don't think anyone would have guessed that they would have scrapped WFP , it's come completely out of the blue.
Yes, I agree with your statement.If that happened I believe there would be uproar of gigantic proportions.
Then they will not save unless they are very wealthy and take welfare instead.Yes, I agree with your statement.
But we have already had huge changes to the state pension in the last decade.
Women who were born in the 1950s ,and were expecting to get their state pension at the age of 60 are now having to wait until they are 66, and soon it will be 67.
And my older brother in law,who gets a very respectable police pension ( he did 30 years with Devon and Cornwall police 1974- 2004) was slightly pissed off that he only gets the basic state pension,which is a few hundred pounds a month less than what I get from my new state pension.
So nothing would surprise me.
As someone has already stated on this thread, people born at the start of the 21st century may not get any state pension at all.
I'm not putting more into my pension now just to give it to some prat government who decides to move the goalposts in 30 years time. Patching up years of government overspending shouldn't be our problem. If they need to find £20bn then all they have to do is cancel projects like HS2, nobody wants it so it's very easy.I don't know where this idea comes from that pensioners are being "taxed again" because they have to pay income tax on their private pensions. You get tax relief on your pension when you put the money in, and then pay that tax back when you claim the pension (in most cases, at a lower rate than they would have paid when working). It's basically a way of deferring your tax until later.
Or go back to pre - state pension days (before 1909) and go into the workhouse !!!Then they will not save unless they are very wealthy and take welfare instead.

Exactly. A pension is a lifetime financial commitment. And both parties come along every five years or so and move the goalposts in an effort to screw more money out of people who are working hard and doing their best to make the best of things they can. It’s immoral. Might as just as well piss it up the wall and then sit back and collect the state handouts and benefits.I'm not putting more into my pension now just to give it to some prat government who decides to move the goalposts in 30 years time.

A pension is a horrendous investment vehicle if it's subjected to further taxation because it means less gains and lost retirement sums so people will therefore just put less into it.
It's like changing the rules to make ISAs subject to tax, what would be the point in an ISA then? You'd do better just sticking your money in the bank getting 0.5%.
It does appear we are going backwards step by step.Or go back to pre - state pension days (before 1909) and go into the workhouse !!!
Income tax is the fairest tax, although it would be a lot fairer if fewer cunts dodged paying it.
Which was the point of my initial post. They are possibly going to chip away at the state pension bit by bit over the lifetime of this parliament and maybe the next one as well.It does appear we are going backwards step by step.
