  • There is increasing talk of a Tory wipeout in the news, and yet the media are not actually explaining what this means or what's causing it. If you were to read their reporting on the polling, you would think we're just expecting a very bad loss for the Conservatives and a Labour landslide. But there's a detail in the polls, and it's in all of the polls, which shows that the Tories are actually very close to being made irrelevant. Journalists know this, they're just not saying.

    Very low turnout, especially among would be Labour voters, as well as more people voting for smaller parties thinking the Tories will lose anyway, could help the Tories a lot. This is difficult to model. Another concern are the many undecided voters, if they actually vote, might largely fall for the barrage of Tory lies in the last few days -- and there are more undecided voters than usual.

    Another great video. Liked what you said about Cameron at the end, Phil. I still think he was the worst because he did the most damage. He and Osborne triggered this. With all the much more recent shenanigans we mustn't forget how much of the trouble started in 2010 with Cameron and Osborne's original austerity ideology and it has been downhill ever since. They are still propping up their austerity even when it is hurting their party at the ballot box. Could we even say that the Conservative Party itself is being sacrificed on the altar of austerity? It seems to be the one thing that must be protected at all costs. The latest example I noticed was Sunak giving his pre-election talk from Policy Exchange. I thought that incredibly bad judgment. That was not prime ministerial and highlighted the links with Tufton Street.

    They should try to identify what is income, what is capital and what is enterprise. Labour & Capital should be taxed equally - Enterprise should be treated favourably - the difficulty would be knowing what gains were actually due to enterprise rather than just market appreciation.

    To understand why capital gains and inheritance tax are forms of wealth taxes, just understand how super rich (e.g. Sunak) avoid paying any tax at all.
    They invest their billions and generate a return of say 7%> For sunak, this might come out around £45m of gains for doing almost nothing.
    Now this is capital gains but you don't pay any of it unless you sell assets. So you can avoid that by not selling.
    For daily expenses, banks will lend him money secured against his investments (they take your investments if you can't pay).
    Inheritance tax is so full of loopholes it basically almost doesn't exist as a tax. Anyone wealthy enough to have to pay it has means to avoid it.
    So wealthy can delay the taxes but if you make capital gains high and block inheritance loopholes then they have to pay eventually. The only other way out is gifting to kids for instance. US has gift tax and that would be final bit of puzzle

    The origins of parts of our moral code (the golden rule) goes way back to at least 2000bce. The idea that we learn it because we are taught it by our parents (implied ‘since Jesus’) and we don’t have an innate evolved moral awareness through empathy is a self-serving religious trope. The Romans et al didn’t see ‘others’ as their equal so the doctrine was sidestepped - as it was with slavery, women, etc.

      IFS has been looked at by the OpenDemocracy website in 2019: "The IFS’s political ideology reveals itself most obviously in its approach to inequality. At several points on its website we are warned that “reliance on taxing ‘the rich’ and big companies to pay more has its limits and would be far from risk-free”. We find no equivalent warning about the risks associated with increased inequality or the growing concentration of corporate power. Repeatedly placing rich in inverted commas is in itself an indicator of political orientation."
