This is £600m from the same university sector that is pretty close to collapse in a growing number of major institutions?

Many of them universities that are among the biggest employers in the very ‘left behind’ towns and cities that Labour talks so much about…

Dividends are taxed at marginal rates of 8.75%, 33.75%, and 39.35%, no national insurance is levied.

Wages taxed at 20%-45% +NIC.

Aligning taxation of dividends with wages could raise £6bn a year. Even higher if national insurance is also charged.

So, let's see if I've got this straight?

The world has changed enough for Labour to go back on their bedrock promise not to raise taxes.

But not enough for them to scuff out their red lines on Brexit, the single most damaging drag on the UK economy.

Idiots.

UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of privatised water, rail, bus, energy and mail services, mostly foreign owned.

Investment neglected. Regulators useless.

Often little/no competition, captive customers fleeced,, more pushed into poverty.

Privatisation is one of the biggest scams.

Thank you so much @thameswater.bsky.social for your email advising me about saving water. What a shame you’ve been so remiss about same as in repairing pipes. I also note that resources being squandered on circumventing restrictions on executive pay & bonuses.
