What a difference a few years makes. Here is Ed Miliband in 2008, defending Gordon Brown’s abolition of the 10p tax rate:
“When you make a big set of changes in the tax system, some people do lose out. That is a matter of regret. Of course it is. But overall these changes make the tax system fairer.”
In 2008 he agreed it was fair, now Ed and Ed are landing their old boss in it. “Gordon Brown was wrong”…

To show that we are not the party for shirkers, we will announce a policy,
namely that all benefit claimants will be in the 40% tax threshold.
And this will not be by dropping the threshold either.
The Labour Party are fundamentally incapable of controlling money, it’s not in their DNA.
This will be funded by taxing councils that let benefit claimants live in houses worth more than £2m.
Gordon Brown has always been wrong.
Maybe, maybe not – who cares?
It’s strange, they manage to control their own fat wallets well enough.
Same old Tories?
the face says it all as he turns to his bag carriers
‘do you think they swallowed it ?’
if the Eddie boys didn’t start dishing gordon the dirt they could
never turn over a new blank page.
I don’t understand the angst.
Surely everyone living in London has a house worth at least a million (well, everyone worth knowing does) so these amounts are trivial but make me sound good.
Everyone tells me so, especially Ed who said it would do down a storm ….or was that go down like a ship in a a storm?
It’s not fair I suppose to make attacks on people when they can’t defend themsleves but you have to say Ed Miliband is the biggest ‘kin retard I know.
Gordon’s 10p tax rate, were he to bring that back at the same bandings then everyone in a £2m house would have to pay £30m a year to cover the loss to the government. If Ed doesn’t know this then he’s incompetent, which of course he is, if he does know it then what does that tell the floating voter.
If only I had got the father before you gave him shelter! I could have saved from this light weight Trot, you have only yourselves to blame!
ARBEIT MACHT FREI! FEED THE GLORIOUS STATE! REJOICE! EXTRA RATION OF TURNIP VODKA FOR THOSE THAT WORK HARDER!
Muddleband bounced into a rushed policy announcement – so steals the Lib Dems Mansion Tax and, aware that Tories were costing a 10p tax, gets that in first.
What an opportunistic parasite.
INCOMING …
You should be Tory Spin Doctor – then again…?
Ten pence starting rate of tax, and tax on two million pound houses, why would anyone want to attack such good ideas?
EXCLUSIVE:
You should be Tory Spin Doctor – then again…?
Ten pence starting rate of tax, and tax on two million pound houses, why would anyone want to attack such good ideas?
Now do you understand?
Such ideas should be attacked as:
1. Raising personal allowances takes the poorest completely out of tax anyway.
2. A mansion tax is effectively a tax on the South East which would be avoided elsewhere, often for much larger houses. SE residents are already payng the bulk of IHT and the major part of other taxes.
I am not too happy about taking the poor out of tax.
First it is about paying my way. I use the free services and I do not need charity. (except for emergencies, like food banks).
Second if I do not earn enough to use all my tax free pay I am not receiving the full tax allowances that I am Entitled to.
Third I an not a number, I am a Human being with responsibilities.
Smeg ‘Ed and Balls-ache.
2008 = brown-nose
2013 = clown-nose
2015 – Pinnochio (growing) nose
2016 – fuck knows?
labour’s prognosis … comatose
Why can’t a 10p tax rate be paid for my government spending less actual money?
Yes, why not cut public services that most benefit hard-working families?
“hard-working families”
Has Gordon Brown been sending children up chimneys again? When do families work?
Well if they cut the tax credits racket and let people keep their own money in the first place before taking it away in tax and then giving it back again in credits, then that would free up a whole department in Revenue and allow a couple of thousand people to go out and find proper jobs to do in the private sector which will help grow the economy as they will then pay tax.
Why is it all so complicated when it can all be so simple?
“Why is it all so complicated when it can all be so simple?”
Your idea whilst laudable would not create tens of thousands of sewer party dependants ready willing and able to cast their vote for silly boy Ed.
What’s the difference between Council Tax and a Mansion Tax – other than an implication that its for the rich innit.
doesn’t council tax stop at a top band?
so if your house is worth 320k or 640k or 5.12 million you still pay the same.
Would be interesting if they had a “unlimited council tax with a H+ band that was proportional to the value of the house”. but a terrible soundbite.
Does it cost more to put a street light outside a big house than outside a small house?
Do big houses use more social services than little houses?
Do big houses catch fire more often than little houses?
Do big houses drop more litter than little houses?
Tesco charge a rich man the same price for a can of beans as a poor man and so should the council. Truth being that Jeremy Kyle viewers use council services disproportionately more than radio 4 listeners.
the answer to your first one is YES !
Can I have a pencil to work it out with?
You will be calling for the return of the Poll Tax next.
P.S: And what kind of house might you live in?
the answer is bring back the poll tax which is on people who consume rather than property
SP4BS
Why so? Unless “big” houses are all located up 400 yd long dr*veways
So much for the “Big Society”? What a con that was.
TODAY I ANNOUNCE MY GLORIOUS FIVE YEAR PLAN, BORROW MORE TURNIPS UNTIL THE TURNIP HARVEST IS IN. REJOICE!
They can fund the turnip harvest by borrowing less sweetcorn and save on methane gas.
NO NEED FOR FUNDING, THE PEASANTS CAN WORK THE TURNIP FIELDS SIX DAYS A WEEK FOR THE GLORIOUS STATE. REJOICE! EXTRA RATION OF TURNIP VODKA FOR THE PEASANTS FOR THOSE THAT PUT MORE EFFORT IN!
Sell the turnips at below market rate to save the banks.
Nationalise the turnip industry and sell them back to the owners (proles).
But I don’t like turnips – so I shall just have to eat carrot cake (as that posh lady said all those years ago).
THE ECONOMY OF TOMORROW WILL BE BASED ON TURNIPS, REJOICE! COMRADE BALLS HAS AN EXCELLENT PLAN FOR THE ECONOMY!
COMRADE BALLS MAKES AN EXELLENT SUGGESTION, WE SHOULD ALSO TELL EVERYONE THE DAY WE PLAN TO SELL THE TURNIPS. REJOICE, EXTRA RATION OF TURNIP SOUP FOR THE PEASANTS!
Don’t plant trees, plant turnips. Ban tractors and import Romanian and Bulgarian labour to harvest by hand. This meets all Labour objectives. Oh and increase Taxes
INCREASE TAXES TO 200%, THE STATE SHALL RUN YOUR LIVES! REJOICE!
I misplaced my septum once.

not nice to say this this but there is a pic out there of our lord and master.
So publish and be damned – and stop talking in riddles which none of us can understand.
Attacking and insulting MPs is fair game, making light of Stoke victims is totally out of order. Please reconsider?
Well Nodrog Bruin won’t ever hear the comment as he doesn’t bother to turn up at HOC, preferring to make fatuous speeches in obscure countries to people who’ve never heard of him, and haven’t a clue what he did.
You left out the part about his being well-remunerated for same. Always swanning off to Switzerland, New York, or the Emirates– it wouldn’t have anything to do with those places being banking centres. Oh no, couldn’t possibly be Little Gordie Brown visiting his money whilst he’s there ostensibly on UN or NYU business. He’s much too honest and earnest about wanting to save the world– he said so himself. Filthy lucre holds no attraction for him!
Hoe about filthy Lucretia? She lives in Rome, I hear.

Warning to BBC Tax Collectors:
Knock on my door at your own peril.
He is sure to move the corporation forward in a meaningful way.
Also consult young people a lot.
as BJ would say peanuts.
with the mon key in place who is the grinder.
.
but it is only peanuts for the man who has a lousy relationship with gawd…
jp is better suited to monastic existence. for maybe that is what is missing in the life of a creative.
the ability to know everything. that is what this period of austerity is all about. to be able to have a fantastic life on actually very little….for those who face usterity know it all in their heart.
.
so what is stopping the moaners from getting on with it.
earthy desires distract so does being bombared by junk.
when all the good energy leaks out or blocked within by the rubbish we eat , inhale, see, taste and hold in our mouth then all is lost.
and illness and sub optimal life reigns supreme.
.
a zero posture with the left palm on top of the head and the right hand holding the tip of the left toe will keep energy in.
this strange posture better than indulging in tip of tongue of top of mouth excess.
.
key words words are “zero”. relationship with gawd for “material uplift”. “good energy”.
tip of tongue and top of mouth.
I tried it and nearly gave myself a hernia….
Head of Strategy? The BBC don’t need a Head of Strategy – they’ve already got one.
1 Rubbish the Tories at every opportunity
2 Ignore any Tory successes, while remembering there are no such things as Tory successes
3 Promote Labour at every opportunity
4 Ignore any Labour failings, while remembering that there are no such things as Labour failures
5 Adhere to our Charter obligations by inviting independent commentators and experts onto our programmes hand to vouch for our independence.

7 Shag everything that moves
Guido Fawkes said: “People in Britain are putting in the hours – doing the shifts – as never before. But something has changed in the last few years.
“There’s less chance of promotion, less chance of a pay rise, and at the same time, prices just go up and up and up: petrol for the car, tickets for the train, childcare for the kids, deposits for a first home.
“The ‘squeezed middle’ has never been so squeezed – and it looks like it will be that for years to come. It’s no wonder our economy isn’t growing when people can’t afford to buy the things that British businesses try to sell.”
He criticised the government’s decision to scrap the 50p tax rate for those earning over £150,000 from April 2013.
“We need very successful entrepreneurs in Britain, making profits, being rewarded,” he will say. “But we can’t succeed as a country just by hoping wealth will trickle down from those at the top to everyone else, our economy won’t turn around that way.”
Guido Fawkes concluded in his usual way
“Let’s make a start by giving the Tories the fuck off tablet in the forthcoming Eastleigh by election”
Nicely copied & pasted. Was it all from the BBC website or did you get some from another biased source ?
He nicked it from Liebour.
He does seem to have a nick problem.

For BBC, read Guido Fawkes.
Never mind “cut & paste”.
I’d welcome the chance to give David Cameron a good pasting after the Eastleigh electorate have given the Tories the fuck off tablet.
Why don’t you invite him to a boxing match then, “Owin” – you know you’d really like to give Dave a good pounding ’round the ring.
All mouth and ( short ) trousers.
You just don’t get the point do you? WUNASHUN

Dear Smeg ‘Ed. Have tried learning to speak English?
Ed said,”his father came here as a migrant,unable to speak English,and,helped
build post-war Britain”.. I suppose we should be grateful..
(the war fucked up my dad,and i was brought up with a shell of the man he’d been)
Income tax should be abolished for anyone earning less than the national average wage. This could be “paid for” by abolishing foreign aid, the DfID, withdrawing from the EU, and ending our military presence in lands ruled by the religion of peace.
Ban Income Tax.
… which, when it was first introduced, we (ie: those around at the time) were all confidently assured that it would only be “temporary”.
Since then all succeeding governments have failed to find the ‘off’ switch.
.. and cutting the number of MPs by 50%, along with all their perks, allowances and subsidies. Nobody else gets them, so why should they?
They wanted to do it but the weirdy beardies welched on the deal.
I demand a steward led enquiry into the horse-meat scandal.
Ed, if you don’t stop making these extremely silly demands, one day somebody is going to make mincemeat out of you!
Always though red Ed was a bit of a mincer
Dear Raving Loon
You seem to have some very solid ideas. I would invite you to join our team but we ahve a very firm no ploicy policy and you seem to have some policies. Have you thought of joining some other political association of fuckwits?
All the best and keep on with the electro- therapy

All these changes would need to be checked, monitored and cleared by a army of clipboard-carrying bureaucrats whom we would hire from Libor constituencies.

We’re not biased here at the bbc.
Gizza job. Ta.!
And I was thinking that Mr Brown was infallable
Is he standing for Pope?
I think the word you were looking for is ‘insufferable’.
There, fixed it for you.
That was then (Gordon made me say it), this is now…..and I want to be elected…
This story has legs……
I have a spring in my step today
Was that the starter’s gun?
More like the abattoirs gun is needed here
How many times can he use this approach?
If by some bizarre calamity, he is elected to office, he can use the same approach to reverse it yet again.
We need to be told.
He can use it as many times as he sees fit.
If people buy it, it works for him and is a good strategy.
However, looking at the package overall, it does appear that he is undermining his and his parties credibility, so perhaps he is just wasting peoples time and trying to distract the media from something else. Like hospital deaths.
It does seem that way. Opposition is a great time to reconnect with the people. Get the pulse. Reformulate the interpretation of the political philosophy. Establish the root causes of what got you slung out. Recognise, acknowledge and apologise for the mistakes. Get prepared so that the revised approach is coherent consistent and concise ready for everyone to go out and sing from the same hymn sheet.
This is just opportunistic thrashing.
“Recognise, acknowledge and apologise for the mistakes.”
Like unlimited Islamic immigration, 3000+ new laws, ID cards, starting a few wars, fucking up the NHS whilst doubling its cost? PFI corruption etc?
You know, you may have a point there!
perpetually … he learnt at gordon’s knee
Has the policy unwound yet
Yes about 5 minutes after he made the policy
Does anyone here want to defend the top rate of tax being cut to 45p in the pound, while Poundland force people to work wage-free?
Why should anyone pay more than 40% tax?
Why any pay 40% tax – when it should be 55-60%?
Why?
To help:
Pay for all the costly wars?
Fund the murdering gang and car-bombers in Syria?
In the ‘training’ the French forces?
We should only tax people working for nothing at 10% of their salary.
Yes and no.
Top rate should be cut to a minimum of 35%: 37% may be optimal. Do the same with corporation tax.
Bottom 10p rate put back in immediately. (possibly at 12p)
Get rid of all the tax credit b/s and simplify the forms for both business and individuals so as they can determine the tax they need to pay without needing an accountant and offshore trust.
Sounds whacky ?
That would not only get the economy moving, but would increase tax receipts. Check Laffer’s work and read around. The ‘class’ struggle b/s from Labour mongs and ignorance of certain sections of the Tory left have muddied the water.
Stop with the zero pay in Poundland. Even prisoners get paid for the labor they perform.
Reasons why non-voluntary free work is bad idea:
i) Management have no hold over staff. You are not paying them, why should they give an ‘f’
ii) Staff more likely to steal and pilfer as a result of not being paid
iii) You are disadvantaging people who would work for a wage at the places, which has bad feedback for benefits system and is self destructive.
iv) Henry Ford realized that by paying his staff a good wage, they would be able to buy his products.
This is simple capitalism 101 which was figured out here and in the US years back.
Adam Smith would be looking at that and laughing his head off, whilst reaching for the musket.
agreed
Reduce employers NI, its an arsehole of a tax.
Agreed: Good catch.
without going into all that detail, and without changing things much:
If they’ve got the cash to cut tax for the lowest paid, keep the %s and raise the minimum threshold. Easy. A boost to low paid. some people don’t need to bother with tax forms. Great.
but a terrible soundbite. arseholes.
The problem though is that the economy will remain largely stagnant.
The cost of figuring out tax, not to mention the amount you need to part with puts off investment and entrepreneurs. Reduce those blocks and business will start to flourish, avoid and evade less and you should see revenues paradoxically go up.
There is no point in setting just the 10p rate, other than for cheap political points. Keeping the rest static will only reduce tax income.
Since when was Poundland responsible for setting tax policy?
Yes, the top rates of income and corporation tax can be greatly reduced – but only by making massive cuts in public services/or selling off the NHS.
Yes, get rid of all the tax credit (a State benefit to business) by paying a decent living wage. As it is, forced-labour is seen by the likes of Poundland as a way of forcing down wages, and making the remaining paid staff yet more fearful.
Determining the tax they want to pay – do not the likes of Starbuck already do this?
The idea of getting the economy moving, by way tax-cuts for the rich, but cut-backs for the poor, is the same old right-wing BS – from the same old US ‘Think’ Tanks.
Yes I will
It was cut from 50% where it had been for 35 days of a 13 year labour government. The tax has been higher now for longer than that entire Labour government.
The pound land lady received state benefits and I agree she should not sit around watching daytime while she can be made to earn
Now fuck off
To say that she sits “around watching daytime”, you must know Cait Reilly fairly well? For you should be aware that, far from being “made to earn”, Cait was forced to work (un-waged) for Poundland. And that this unskilled post was in no way helping her ‘back to work’.
In legal terms, the ruling states that: “any scheme must be such as has been authorised by Parliament. There is a constitutional issue involved. The loss of jobseekers’ allowance may result in considerable personal hardship, and it is not surprising that Parliament should have been careful in making provision for the circumstances in which the sanction may be imposed.”
Is not this a clear statement of law?
And Finally Tonight.
Emma Harrison, Chair of Work Programme Provider A4e – and owner a 20-bedroom, £5 million mansion – was asked if it was right to make £100 a week out of each unemployed person. “At the end of the day,” she replies, “a successful businessperson finds a market and exploits it.”
Like it or not Labour are talking about low taxes.
The trouble is they don’t say where the money comes from. Once again their sums don’t add up! Hello deficit!
Slightly OT, but I note with interest that the Guardian is gleefully reporting the words of Tax Avoider in Chief Danny Alexander that firms which avoid tax will not be allowed to bid for government contracts.
Where will the government now place all it’s print recruitment ads now GMG is ruled out? Daily Mail?
The Daily Turnip, Bulgaria.
It is illegal to rule out tender bids or discriminate unfairly against such companies competing on these grounds ?
Evading tax is one thing, but this is the same as saying that companies which have red in the logo are banned ?
I would happily see a ban given to “Labour Party Properties Limited” and “Labour Party Nominees Limited”.
Simple U-turn. Allow them to tender and put all such bids straight into the shredder with Tone’s expenses forms.
Poor Dave ( Ohh Ducky, where’s me hand bag ) Cockerman…has been shafted again

errrrrr Horse Meat = MORE RED TAPE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED SCANDAL.
The EU want you…
You mean Europol?
By red tape do you mean the type that is used to make Rosettes for horse races?
More Red Rum?
At the BBC it’s red bum they like
Banning import of meat products from the EU immediately is the solution.
Consumers can do this by not purchasing meat from un-trusted sources such as supermarkets, or purchasing ‘processed’ products.
Food labeling relates only to where the product is packed, not necessarily where it comes from, or as evidenced, what it actually is.
If you find butcher selling dodgy meat, you can at least return to them for a refund and a quiet chat.
“from the EU and yorkshire” ?
Once the EU has been eliminated, the domestic issues can be dealt with.
When exactly will the general electorate wake up and realise the bullshit from either party is exactly that bullshit. Look at all the fucking excuses the current lickspittle comes up with for all his U turns. The next one in power will do the same, so long as the LibLabCon Triad are at the helm.
Vote UKIP and probably not get UKIP but it will send a large message to the slimeballs.
And you’ll get Liebore.
Which LiBore activist are you? Moe, Larry or Curly?
So voting spent Tory will mean a win will it?
Vote Ukip, get Ukip
Vote LibLabCon, get more EU
This election will make no difference to the numbers whoever wins – but it is a golden opportunity for the public in the shape of the Eastleigh voters to send a very loud message to the clowns/crooks/chancers in Westminster.
Not all of us can afford to be socialists. Being paid £300k of our money helps, though.

Don’t confuse Indians with what the BBC often terms ‘Asians’, as in ‘the vulnerable girls were abused by gangs of asian men’
+1
Funny you should say that.
!ndian’s from the old country refer to what the BBC call ‘Asians’ as BBC.
Here BBC means: British Born and Confused.
The Ch!nese community should complain about the BBC (Bolox Broadcaster) slurs though.
Indeed, as should Malaysians, although the point applies equally to Indians. There was another common link which applied to ALL of the men convicted in these abuse cases which the BBC never seems to think important enough to mention.
Clue: it’s religion based.
They were not H!ndu.
When getting racial slurs in order be sure to separate your !ndian from your P@k! from your B@ngladesh!.
The clue is in their names.
Should have mentioned: It is sometimes tricky to tell which side of the border a Punjab! sources from. If they are Gujarat!’s, those guys are known scum even in !ndia. Bit of a running joke over there that the UK let so many of them in.
Of course they weren’t Hindus. And nor were they Indians. I think you are missing my point.
And religion has nothing to do with race.
Hallo, I just happened by as recommended by a friend, to see your note about Malaysians.
I agree with you that the BBC coverage of Malaysia is biased and relentlessly skewed against the generally honest and trustworthy government who genuinely seem to have the interests of the people at heart.
If I were the Minister responsible, I would immediately withdraw the BBC rep’s accreditation and ban them for a year. CNN and Al Jazeera have their agendas too, but at least in their coverage they usually give both sides of a story.
Thank you for this space.
So Ed says he is going to make a speech, he is ridiculed because there is no policy content. He then produces a single tax plan that has a £5B hole in it. The only thing it shows is Labour’s financial incompetence.
How do you spell l-i-m-p-d-i-c-k-e-d o-p-p-o-r-t-u-n-i-s-t…?
As above, just leave out the hyphens.
Vatican spokesman won’t confirm reports that Gideon George Osborne has been appointed head of the Vatican Bank.
I have never heard of Gordon Brown.
Who ?
Andrew Neil shredding Ballsup right now.
Well you laugh, but these cynical bastards know only too well the old maxim, ‘a lie told oftern enough becomes the truth’
That’s why most people really do believe that the government is taxing bedrooms.
So Ed will tax the poor at 10% while the coalition is taxing the poor at 0%.
What the Fuck are you proud about Chuka.
Who is this snivelling little shit?
No one !
Has nobody mentioned to him that under the last Liebore govt the top rate of tax was 40% — until Brown’s last few days in office when he raised it to 50% to spite the incoming government.
Perhaps somebody could have a word in his shell-like one of these days? And buy him a recent history book to read in the bath.
Why are people surprised Purnell has been given a job by the BBC? They employ ex Liebore scum on a regular basis.
Owen Jones and 5 bellies Smiff are never off the BBC.
He shoots. He scores.
Crack or smack? With that dribbly looking mouth of his I’d say crack.
Leave Boris and his peccadillos out of this will you?
Ed the political equivalent of Dad disco dancing
So Labour are going to make the tax system more complicated again.
The coalition have taken the poor out of tax altogether and Labour plan to tax them at 10% plus all the administrative costs that will involve.
FAIL a BIG FAIL ED!!!
More complicated tax rules = More heavily unionised, public sector employees = more labour votes.
Ker-ching.
Ed Balls took a right drubbing from Brillo on Daily Politics this afternoon, you should take a look Guido.
absolute rimming .. balls telling us how he and birdshit boy said no to gordon

These ‘dementia taxes’ are direct result of cuts to council care budgets. People now more likely to have to pay right up to new £75k cap.

Nope. The three words I’ve been hoping to hear are – OWIN JONES DEAD.

This is an absolute gift for the Tories.
Labour have just pledged to increase taxes for the poor from 0% (under the coalition) to 10% under a future Labour government.
Oh well, back to the blank sheet of paper.
This is of course what CCHQ should be putting out to all and sundry, preferably with the added ‘to pay money to shirkers’ added. Won’t though, the lily-livered scrotes.
If I listen to TWaO will ‘old mother Carney’ be critiquing google-eyes little speech?

What’s this heresy – “Gordon Brown was wrong”?
That little Ed better get back on song
True LibLabCons never confess mistakes
Gordon saved the world’s folks, for Heaven’s sakes
And just to prove their appreciation
They wind up here, via immigration

Ed Balls was on the Daily Politics. Even by Balls standards he spoke the worst drivel I have ever heard.
Absolute garbage.
Let’s hope Balls remains the labour shadow chancellor.

But not if they happen to win the next GE – and Balls manages to get his postal voters sufficiently bribed.

This is Miliband’s best hypocrisy to date. Talk about shifting the blame to the boss. Gordon Brown’s mistake ? !!!!! …..and you fought tooth and nail to oppose the abolition of the 10p rate did you Ed ?……and why didn’t a so called socialist party like the Labour party introduce (nearly) £10k limit before low paid workers start paying tax ? Staggering hypocrisy. Better prune that money tree at the bottom of your garden Ed.
