An understandable resignation, but she is being naive if she thought that Starmer would cut anyone else's budget but hers.
Starmer is playing a blinder at present, I’m really starting believe he’s getting the pulse of the nation and steering HMS United Kingdom in the the right direction, both with his overseas negotiations and of course domestic, it won’t be long until those in other European countries start to look at us in a far more favourable light!
'Another one'. Very good. As you're so attuned to things, perhaps you could enlighten us which other quasi-Cabinet Ministers have 'bitten the dust'...
The only explanation I can summon up for this is that RR and SKS factored that taxing (or incorporating into tax) Big Tech (including Amazon) would be construed by 'the Negotiator-in-Chief' as a raid on US companies.
thisGood point.
difficult to tax only "big tech" without including many other companies; difficult to tax companies based overseas, or dont report any profits in UK; applying online sales tax immediatly passed on to consumers.
Basing Corporation Tax on sales rather than profits would sweep up a substantial amount from Big Tech, especially Amazon.
Would potentially get some like Amazon until they work out yet another loophole but unless you ringfence a Sales/Turnover tax to specific companies or types you are going to hammer those with high turnover low profit.
