Labour Planning to Increase Corporation Tax to 26%

[Lost It]

The Cons will carry on as before, changing the manifesto so that they can carry out the "tax raid" on the self employed that Hammond had to back down from last budget.

Nothing will get us back to the old days.

Labour? Well the decision is really:

Which Liar manufactures the most credible lies.

My money is on Labour being much more honest because Corbyn is basically honest.

I find this hilarious actually. I'm impressed that Comrade Corbyn actually knows the current rate of corporation tax.

Who else remembers former shadow chancellor Alan Johnson, before the 2010 election he was on Radio 4 telling John Humphrys that corporation tax was too low and that he was gong to raise it. But Mr Humphrys, naturally, asked him how high he would raise it to. When he didn't answer the question, Mr Humphrys asked Mr Johnson if he knew what the then present rate of corporation tax actually was. He didn't know! Shortly after that he resigned. No friggin' wonder eh?

Diane Abbott hasn't resigned. . Then again Komrade Korbyn won't have a shadow cabinet if she does.

Yes, but she's so thick, understanding the subtleties of public life is beyond her intellect (IMO).

Surely a killer for anyone still considering voting labour?

The Leaked manifesto seems like a game changer, if you want to do very little and be rewarded then its seems like Labour is the obvious choice. Inevitably that comes with future generations picking up most of the tab

I read this as they want to lose very badly, by alienating every type of Labour voter out there (except full blown communists).
This will shield Labour from the massive political fallout that Brexit is. Only after can they re-emerge, like phoenix and the saviour of the British nation...

Couldn't agree more. Her Brexit no show was embarrassing.
