We could scrap VAT entirely and increase income tax. I don't have a problem with that as long as middle income people don't get hammered. That is what is likely to happen. Paying 40% tax is a lot of tax already. The problem here in this country is the cost of housing which isn't the case elsewhere. Sort that and a lot of income problems will be eased. Taking with one hand and giving with another or being better off under one government and then worse off under another solves nothing yet the shortfall in housing rises every year and has been since I looked in about the mid noughties.

As opposed to voting for the idiots that fall over themselves to back the regimes that actively promote the spread of extreme wahhabi islam ? Quality advice. Didn't Corbyn meet with President Assad? I could be wrong, but I am sure I heard about this a while ago. Edit: Just checked, looked like he did in 2009. And strongly condemned the US airstrikes on Syria after the Regime's chemical attack.

I agree that mortgages and rents are the biggest problem we face. They are far too expensive. Increasing income tax now would be crippling for some.

Why do people feel the need to get personal over politics. I haven't seen anything like this before Brexit. Whoever you vote for, it doesn't matter. You are making the decision based on your circumstances/feelings. Get a grip both of you. Edited by Hansy (23 May 2017 1.27pm)

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

I will give him that. Edited by Stirlingsays (23 May 2017 4.34pm) Shame alot of the Labour MPs don't think so lol

If you earn over £80k you're not likely to be struggling. And it's only an extra 5% on income above £80k. So not the whole lot. If you're on £80k or less you would not pay any more.
