If there is a serious gap between revenues in the UK and tax paid the Inland Revenue should be given the power to refer the issue to a jury and let them decide how much tax it is reasonable for the company to pay. Companies like Starbucks need fierce rules that can't be dodged.
But if the government start taxing the likes of Starbucks & they leave, Are we seriously saying that Britain will stop drinking coffee?
£3 billion in UK sales & they don't want to pay tax?
It's time to get of the merry-go-round & use our smaller, local retailers who will pay their taxes.

The Home Office treats all migrants with incompetence and inhumanity. It needs to be broken up and a Department of Immigrant created with a brief based on maximising benefits of inward migration.
The way this Govenrment are treating some of the most vulnerable people in the world is disgusting.
And they the audacity to pretend it's coming from a place of compassion and concern.
Their only actual concern seems to be dancing to the tune of the far right rather than tackle inequality.

This statement not acceptable and I suspect not sustainable. Large majority of public support principle of asylum, support letting people stay permanently. Majority for that among Labour and other progressive parties’ voters is overwhelming. The Reform voters this is aimed at will never vote Labour

Is this Labour government really saying it was wrong in principle to let these refugees of the last 75 years to stay, settle and become British - and they believe that should NEVER happen again in principle or practice?

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.

It is foolish to think that by trying to copy Reform's ideas you can defeat them.
They won't vote for you.
All you are doing is pouring petrol on Reform's lie that immigration is a massive problem.
