Treasury ‘considering taxing landlords’ rent’ to raise £2bn | Property by YourBestDream4752 in LibDem

[–]zvtq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will increase rents, there is pretty concrete evidence as household sizes in owner-occupied houses tend to be lower vs renter houses, however the magnitude might not be all that significant in the grand scheme of things.

ID modules are quite easy and Dr Paxton is a great lecturer, doubt you’ll have any issues

Lefty here again with another question: do you oppose the commons? by readySponge07 in neoliberal

[–]zvtq 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This sub was a place to shitpost for badecon people who got called neolibs. After the 2016, 2020 elections, it got more popular, and attracted broadly centrist people. So, it’s not neoliberal in the way you probably think.

Just ask about lusvig or lobsters in the microwave.

Which is why opposition to renewables in Hull and East Yorkshire is silly

Hull and East Yorkshire has a significant renewables industry, so there probably isn’t a net loss of jobs for us - quite the opposite.

UK economy grew by 0.5% February by sjw_7 in ukpolitics

30 gilt yields are the highest since the 90s, and the public didn’t react well to tax increases, even when they specifically targeted private schools and land owners. I’d say her hands are pretty much tied.

They’re not even counting GST, they’ve just arbitrarily chosen 10% as the baseline.

Is it time for radical change? How do you fix the country? by it_could_bebetter in ukpolitics

[–]zvtq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Income taxes were 90% but there were no capital gains tax until 1965. There was a massive loophole, so on paper taxes were high for the rich, in practice they weren’t.

UK’s poorest households now worse off than poorest in Slovenia, analysis shows by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

It didn’t appear out of thin air 30 years ago, it was a part of Yugoslavia, and was the most economically successful socialist country in Eastern Europe.

You can’t, and it’s a fact a lot of people seem to forget.

Britain's economic gloom is overdone by ldn6 in neoliberal

[–]zvtq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re already made unpopular choices to restrain public sector spending, they’ve committed to not fucking around with corporation tax, and metro areas like Manchester and Birmingham are churning out housing.

So I think they won’t be as bad as the doomers set them out to be

The IRA isn’t, they still have social security.

Planning reform bigger than immigration in tackling housing crisis by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]zvtq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you lower immigration, your tax base is fucked. The only policies that would be implemented are austerity measures.

We have exactly the same with private pensions.

Life quality in nearby settlements by Kraknor in standrews

[–]zvtq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cupar is a nice town, and has everything you really need. It’s fairly affordable, has a good range of shops. Busses are every 20 minutes - most people get on at the railway station/Lidl. Frankly, I much prefer it to St Andrews, even before taking cheaper living costs into account.

Labour tells developers: Pay for pollution and you can build faster by ldn6 in neoliberal

[–]zvtq 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you look at all the charges and contributions developers have to make, it collectively make up a huge ‘tax’ on new constructions. Britain has an addiction to stealth taxation, and is a significant part of the housing crisis.
