Anyone still like Labour?

Bought by Labour sold by Labour with a loss of £10.8 billion for the UK taxpayers 👍👍well done Labour.

Except that the opportunity cost of no intervention is unknown - without the taxpayer funded bailout we may have missed an opportunity to stave off a real depression 1930s style. £10.8 billion is far less than the Conservatives recently splurged on the Energy Bills Support Scheme

 

The Government's energy bills support schemes cost an estimated £44bn; two thirds less than originally estimated. The support prevented around 289,000 households in England from going into fuel poverty, according to estimates from the Department of Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ).14 Nov 2024

Tax their UK based assets at source. That way it doesn't matter to our country that they can.skulk off to a tax haven like Rees-Mogg, Farage, and countless others do.

You know Rees worked for free?.

 

Or maybe actually tax a certain Starmer and his pensions, one rule for me but not thee.

His hedge fund business didn't. 

 

Why do you call them with familiar names? They don't know you and they don't care about you either. 

'The Donald', 'Nigel', ''Rees'.. etc.

Simplicity, the same reason I don't refer to Jonathan Ferguson as the Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armories.

 

And moggs fund business will have paid all applicable UK taxes, as will Nigel and all of the others.

 

None of them have a personal tax law, like Starmer does do they!.

Labour was in office when the bail out occurred. 
Labour are in charge now during the final sale of shares. 
The hypothetical 1930s style depression is exactly what old Fred wanted everyone to fear. 
Conservatives are not in power plus the thread is about Labour ( I’m surprised the Arbtalk auditor didn’t mention that) 
If I gamble and make reckless choices with my business I go under, banks should have gone the same way with those responsible going to jail rather than living a cracking lifestyle on an amazing pension. 
What the taxpayers funded was nothing more than keeping the status quo in place. 
Brown and Gold reserves 🤔now let’s find the numbers for that cluster.

A former colleague's brother had the best GCSE summer holiday work experience you've ever heard of. At sixteen, he spent a week shooting machine guns in the basement there, with other people's ammo.
