You mean like James Dyson, who moved to Singapore without any help from Jeremy Corbyn? 

Seems they leave when the Conservatives are in Charge.

So you can’t have it both ways. 

 

Either you agree that businesses will move abroad when taxed more, or they won’t.

 

Saying that someone moved under the Conservatives isn’t a reason to allow Labour to massively ramp up what those businesses pay, driving many many more away.

John Thomas is a big mate of Jim the washing machine salesman.

He was the Chair of the constituency Vaz was MP poor. I’m not sure that necessarily means that they’re ‘big mates’. 

 

Even if they were - what does that prove exactly? Vaz was suspended for legitimate reasons - it’s not like Corbyn kicked him out because he felt like it. 

 

Are you insinuating John resigned because Vaz isn’t seeking re-election? Vas retired and chose not to seek re-election.

He'll tax firms that do make profits like Amazon, who paid just £11.9million on sales of £5.3Billion. That's a lower percantage rate than I pay!

And there are others like them. JC is not going after the small and Medium sized businesses, or the big guys who pay the proper rate, just the one's who are taking the mick.

 

People who earn less than £80,000 pa have nothing to fear, and a lot to gain by voting Labour. These are the many that Jeremy Corbyn is fighting for. Even those earning more than £80,000 will be treated fairly, and only pay a small exponential increase but will also benefit rom the improved services etc. 

Vote Conservative and only those earning more than 80,000 will gain. 

You do know that there is a difference between sales and profits, don't you?

 

The last time that Labour were in power they did away with the 10p income tax band that benefited the lowest earners in society. How 'fair' is that?

 

No one is safe with Labour.

And if Jezza gets in do you think that they'll all come rushing back or that more will leave?

Defend Amazon and big Corporate tax dodging all you like. It's wrong and you know it. It has to be dealt with.

 

Blairite Labour, so close to the Tories you couldn't get a credit card between them. You can't compare them to JC's Labour, he's put his head on the line to make them different.

 

Businesses weren't exactly rushing into Britain with 10 years of Tory rule.

Corbyn sure has, he's made them unelectable!

 

Didn't "Blairite Labour" win three elections....?

Really? 

 

Figures show the 'stock' of inward foreign direct investment in the UK is at a record high.

Anna - The Labour you desire have been unelectable for 40 years now to the British public (since you denounce the only Labour leader who actually managed to win an election since 1979)

What makes you think

a) It will be different this time around?

b) Where the 80 seats are that Labour would have to win (and not lose any)  in order to form a government?

 

And that's the simple crux - Labour need 80 more seats for a working majority unless they are going to throw their lot in with Jimmy Krankie (who is more obsessed with getting indpendence than a GE so wont be happy with JC proclaming no Independence referendum will be allowed). Where are they and do you think Labour will hold onto every seat they currently hold?

 

[geared]

Corbyn got more votes in 2017 than anyone since Blair, in fact with the exception of 1997 you have to go back to 1966 to find someone who beat the 12.8m votes Corbyn managed in 2017.

(yes the population was lower then)

The problem is if you come down too hard on them, they'll just leave the UK.  Amazon alone have 30,000 staff here.

Who is defending 'big corporate tax dodging'?

 

I just asked if you knew that 'sales' and 'profits' are not the same thing. Apparently not?

 

Labour are not the answer  - it's alright for JC to say he'll  increase the living wage to £10 per hour, £19,200 per year for a 40 hour week over a 48 week working year, less tax and national insurance obviously, when he's sat in his million pound house with a wage three times the national average and all whilst enjoying the very generous perks that MP's get. 

 

Everyone's equal comrade, but some are more equal than others.
