Depends how it's done I guess. CGT increase on non-productive assets might not be too bad, but probably not a good idea on business investments.
Coupled with Sunak's 30% CT Tax increase, that could be counter-productive, revenue-wise.
The argument of whether you raise more tax by taking a larger amount of a lesser sum or a smaller amount of a greater sum.
The only longer term option is the latter. The former a very socialist ideal.

That's what worries me. I want to hear a plan with timescales for reducing the tax burden and improving the supply-side. Otherwise we are never going to reduce the debt burden.
Additionally, some arse-kicking on public sector inefficiencies would be welcome.

Two questions:
-
Why didn't the neighbours, school and anybody else who knew the family (post-lockdown) take notice and act?
-
How the fuck did they get the equivalent of a £140k annual salary in benefits?

-
@Victor-Meldrew 8 kids? I have no idea how much you get "per kid".
-
@Victor-Meldrew I guess the rest is sickness or whatever? Extraordinary amount.

I dont see the purpose of the trampoline? Perhaps replace it with a fairly robust broom?
