Not sure about wealth inequality, where did you read its far greater? As for AFD and Reform, I’d say the key difference is AFD are more open about their policies and way more organised and professional as an operation. They also differ on the EU, or did. Other than that, what’s the difference?
According to here: https://equalitytrust.org.uk/scale-economic-inequality-uk/ much higher, more than Singapore too.
Complete nonsense of course. You have no idea of whom Labour have in mind by saying “working people” than anyone else does.It's really very simple and we both know the answer. You're a working person, I'm not. You won't get taxed more, I will.
Unless of course you want me to come up with a long detailed explanation of various parameters and definitions, so that you can then use that to find a case that you can fire back at me in a 'Gotcha' moment, in which case you can f*** right off
I have to be honest. From day 1 I assumed it meant NI and Income Tax in your payslip was unaffected. People who receive a salary from an employer (so a working person) would not see a loss in earnings.
I posted the figures I used in a link above. I will bow to your superior knowledge on AfD. I don't really know what reform are about and disinclined to read much about them. They seem to have a lot of articles about Afd in the FT, the comments section is very entertaining so I might read them. But, Germany is quite different to here in many respects, sometimes comparisons can't be as direct as we might like. Not sure that I am reassured or alarmed to know AfD and Reform so similar
I agree, and that is why I both love and hate ambiguity/uncertainty. However, you have to have a definition for "working people" to be meaningful. This is how the government defines it: https://www.gov.uk/employment-status/worker
I can’t say I’m an expert on the AfD. I have a lay understanding at best. I am most intrigued by their EU stance. They have no issue with membership per se, just the level of integration. This, at least, was the original position but this might have changed in recent times. They are scum bags though.I posted the figures I used in a link above.

Same here - that's exactly what I took it to mean. And I think they have effectively said that - it's just the media don't want to listen and want to introduce 10,000 different variations so when 2 of them have increased tax they can point to it as a 'broken promise'.
That’s certainly one interpretation of it. And makes sense.
It makes no actual difference what they meant when they wrote it- it was just amateurish writing and is of little relevance. If it wasn’t amateurish there would be no debate as to what they meant.
And her salary puts her in the top 1% of earners, just an ordinary working person then. I wonder what her (non contributory) pension scheme looks like.

Exactly.Given we won't know until the budget is announced what is going to happen with regards to director's salary, dividends, profits etc, and a huge number of other things, I am interested to know how you are certain that the Government is about to '****ing gut you financially' as I would think a lot would depend on what and how you split your earnings from your business and if you have any other incomes ?
And, although @The Clamp and @chip don't agree I would expect a simple salaried person earning £160,000 pa to get taxed more than someone on £40,000 pa.
The simple fact is that we will all find out next week
See post 3901 - that was the Treasury Minister's definition some days ago; so they seem to be settling on a standard line now.
Is that really what you think I said?And, although @The Clamp and @chip don't agree I would expect a simple salaried person earning £160,000 pa to get taxed more than someone on £40,000 pa.

Apologies, just re-read
