    When we leave the EU we can set corporation tax as low as we want and bring in jobs. Lots of them. I believe our government has already mentioned that to Apple.
    Yes a race to the bottom. That's the way to win.

    Collecting less tax means less money for public services. Yet on the other hand you'll claim Britain should follow the Norway model.

    Moving from short-term to long-term planning is going to be sh£t shock for the UK.

        Competition starts through quality. Something winners do, I won't worry about it.

          Bolloc*s.
          Quality is a subjective cliche that people like you trot out to give integrity to weak arguments

                Given we don't currently "have" Apple, attracting 10,000 professional jobs and the multiplier effect that they have on the local economy looks a better move than not doing it. Attracting more companies and getting more people out of the claiming cycle and on to the tax-paying cycle means that there will be less money needed for public services.

                      And anger is one of the first symptoms of a lost argument.
