    I don't think he's keen on big business either. Proper left-wingers aren't, they want to nationalise things.

    Jeremy Corbyn will tax the wealthy as he unveils his economic masterplan

    Originally posted by Telegraph
    As he soars 17 points ahead in the latest poll, Jeremy Corbyn is about to announce his plans to tax the wealthy as he sets out his economic plans. His plan will include:
    • Raise taxes on wealthier households and businesses
    • Massively reduce corporate tax relief and subsidies, and use the extra revenue to establish a National Investment Bank that will promote infrastructure upgrades and support innovation
    • A crackdown on tax avoidance and evasion, including stricter rules for small businesses
    • Reversing the cuts to staff in HMRC and at Companies house, to make it easier for HMRC to collect more taxes
    • Country-by-country reporting for multinational corporations
    This economic masterplan seems to be somewhat reliant on taxing stuff.

    I wonder if the other 3 will merge their campaigns to stop his bandwagon?

    Cameron should have added "With our trousers down and a can of lube at the ready."

    " this Government is getting right behind them.""
    Well, he isn't lying about it. Just not telling the whole truth...

    I'm saying the jewel entrusted, marble floored greatness beauty and wonder of the UK has in part come from the exploitation of our empire.

Do I personally feel guilty; no. But I have migrant DNA so maybe I don't see the sweeping generalisation that migrants are bad.
    I think you will find that building materials used in the UK have been paid for. Who said migrants are bad?

    Talking of bejewelled marble palaces do you mean like this? Inside the crumbling palaces of Africa
