UK Politics

The woman reporter in your link has not an ounce of credibility. All i've seen in the media this since the council elections is parties berating rRform and their winning candidates without one of the beraters bothering to self analyse why Reform actually garnered all that support. I washed my hands with politicians many years ago, they ain't worthy of my time going to vote for such sheer incompetence.

 

They are dumber. I admit I haven't looked into the detail of this yet. I have just heard on the radio breaking news about the new trade deal with India. Apparently Indian companies who set up in the UK under the scheme will pay no employers or employees NI for Indian Immigrant workers for the first 3 years. This is the same month that any UK company with more than 3 or 4 employees starts paying thousands more in employers NI. Surely I must have heard this wrong!!!

 

Here it is - two tier tax!

Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of giving Indian migrants huge tax breaks after today's historic trade deal provided National Insurance exemptions to professionals moving to the UK.

The deal, which is expected to boost growth by £5billion, was hailed as the the “biggest and most economically significant” accord since Brexit.

However, Indian professionals living in Britain look to have been spared from paying National Insurance in the UK as well as at home for three years.

Hailing the concession, New Delhi said: "In an unprecedented achievement, India has secured an exemption for Indian workers who are temporarily in the UK and their employers from paying social security contributions in the UK for a period of three years under the Double Contribution Convention. This will make Indian service providers significantly more competitive in the UK."

Responding directly to the concession, the Centre for Migration Control said: "This deal hands far too many concessions to Indian workers - awarding an exemption from national insurance contributions.

"We are through the looking glass. HM Government is now raising taxes on Brits whilst slashing them for migrants."

Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith added: "Keir Starmer has just signed a deal which exempts Indian workers transferred to the UK from paying National Insurance… after increasing it for British workers. Every time Keir Starmer negotiates, Britain loses."

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch also accused the Prime Minister of "two-tier taxes", warning: "When Labour negotiates, Britain loses."

The decision comes just months after Rachel Reeves hiked employers' National Insurance Contributions in her Budget tax raid.

Despite facing a backlash over tax breaks, the Prime Minister remains adamant that the UK stood its ground on the issue of visas.

He said: “There were tough negotiations on both sides, as you would expect, but because we were serious and pragmatic and providing the leadership to our negotiating teams, we were able to resolve the difficulties that have held this up for the best part of eight years.

“And my approach to the negotiations, my instruction to the team was, we will always act in our national interest and make sure that this is a deal that works for Britain, and that’s what we’ve been able to produce. That’s what we’re able to deliver today.”

 

Sensible deal, the country is lacking in people from the subcontinent and it is the reason people are turning to Reform. Starmer hears you, he gets it...

 

There have been some fairly high profile cases where this has happened, Lucy Letby being the stand out one. Axel Rudakubana was actually there but was removed after constantly interupting proceedings. Kyle Clifford didn't attend his sentencing just a few weeks back.

I'd drag them there in chains myself.

 

Problem is if you force them to attend and they don't want to they will just make a nuisance of them self enough so the judge kicks them out

 

It won't it's just virtue signalling. The fact you can commit the most heinous of crimes but still have 'rights' would be comical if it weren't so serious, a good friend of mine is a dock officer at crown court and they're always kicking off.

 

So far two Reform councillors have stepped down days after getting elected, one for unknown reason, one for working for the council and another has been outed as a recently sacked police officer whilst standing on a ticket of integrity and honesty. Less than two weeks after the elections

 

Reform, Tory, Labour. All kiss the cheeks of the same arse.

 

I'm waiting for them to put the invaders in prisons and the prisoners into hotels......crazy times.....

 

More comedy....
