    Which of the CUK members was on Question Time?

    General election 2019: Does GBP80,000 put you in the top 5% of earners? - BBC News

    He seemed upset about the prospect of being dragged into PAYE and insisted being on > £80,000 didn't put him in the top 50% of earners, never mind the top 5%.

    Such earnings, aggression and total failure at basic maths makes him a dead cert to be a CUK member. He managed to confuse the panel and host.

    The stupidity and lack of basic maths skills initially suggested Dim to me.
    But Dim earns nowhere near 80K.
    Hard Brexit now!

      So you reached that initial conclusion due to your stupidity and lack of basic analytical skills.

      Well done you......

              Actually at 80k before tax he’s in the top 23% not the top 5%, lack of research made him look like a numpty. Where do you fit in - Institute For Fiscal Studies - IFS

                    Doh! Because we're talking about the percentiles of "earnings" not wealth.
