Boris Johnson’s tax cut proposals would cost the exchequer as much as £20bn a year while mainly benefiting richer households, according to calculations by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

The think-tank warned that the Tory leadership front-runner’s “expensive pledges” to cut taxes for high earners and lift the national insurance contributions threshold were incompatible with the government’s promise to end austerity.



If Boris gets in and implements the above then say hello to Corbyn and Abbott.

Tory scum.

Alex1621: "if Brexit was this great economic unleashing of the UK economy, stifled by the EU, why does UK domestic stocks and GBP tank every time the risk of no deal increases?"

Because of the current uncertainty and the fear of any short term disruption arising from no deal, before the (significant imv) downstream benefits are realised later. Markets are only interested in the short term seems to me.

Your key word is 'domestic'. Many UK listed FTSE 100 with high %age overseas earnings have over the last few years done very nicely due in part to the weak pound eg the miners AAL, RIO, BHP, although as Alphorn points out this could all change very quickly if Brexit is foiled again and sterling rises.

The FSA have been continually tightening identity requirements particularly in respect of non residents. They have made life very difficult for foreign banks in London supporting their nationals over the last decade all under the auspice of money laundering and "know your client" requirements. Payments from and to accounts have not been allowed where documentation is lacking. I suspect that Lloyds and others have run out of time to provide that info and are acting on instructions from the FSA.

Walrus - thanks for that.

Boris is being carefully hidden away from the public less he slips up and tells the truth for once. He wants to be PM but is clueless as to what he'll do once he gets there ... if Brexit was this great economic unleashing of the UK economy, stifled by the EU, why does UK domestic stocks and GBP tank every time the risk of no deal increases? Perhaps Tory members will reflect on that when they are facing Corbyn wealth taxes on their properties and inheritance plans.

Uncertainty over there, one thing investors hate is uncertainty.

'The EU is keen to weed out fake news from social media. It will be interesting to see what they regard as fake news, and to see if they start to cross the line between unacceptable material and censorship of material that is inconvenient to the EU. It is setting out a new “framework for targeted restraint measures” which will include asking social media platforms to prevent material harmful to the EU.'

The EU’s agenda for greater union – conclusions of the European Council 20 June

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 25, 2019

The EU is busy trying to fill its senior positions without success yet. They meet again on June 30th to try to reach agreement over who should be President of the Commission.

The EU Council last week revealed its new ambitions to take more control from member states.

The EU wants member states to press ahead more rapidly with plans to decarbonise. Countries are being pressed to lower their CO2 output, to increase their renewable generation of power and raise their fuel efficiency. 2030 targets are being set, but the EU has still not agreed on a zero carbon target for 2050 which some wish to do.

The EU is keen to weed out fake news from social media. It will be interesting to see what they regard as fake news, and to see if they start to cross the line between unacceptable material and censorship of material that is inconvenient to the EU. It is setting out a new “framework for targeted restraint measures” which will include asking social media platforms to prevent material harmful to the EU.

The Euro area needs to consider how much further it should go with a joint budget and whether it will start to borrow money in the name of the EU to spend around the union. The Euro area meeting talked of intensifying the banking union and capital markets union. There is also a wish to have more common taxation under a policy that it should be “fair and effective”.

The EU wishes to take greater responsibility for its own security and defence, pointing the way to more common defence spending.

The EU wants to become more assertive in international affairs. It wants Russia to release the captured sailors from Ukraine and release the vessels, seeks free maritime passage there and wants Russia to reduce her influence in eastern Ukraine. The EU continued its sanctions against Russia. The EU also condemned Turkey for her alleged illegal drilling in the Eastern Med.

The EU is planning a tougher migration policy “to fight illegal migration and human trafficking and to ensure effective returns”. The detail on who they will make go back will be interesting, and what their enforcement mechanisms will be. They want to renegotiate the Dublin Regulation which requires a member state to offer safe haven to a migrant if that state is their first place of arrival in the EU. The southern coastal states resent this obligation on them.

We await the new Commission and new Parliament. The old one goes out with a set of conclusions that aspire to much more integration but lack real bite in achieving their full stated aims. Nonetheless the process of integration continues, with the EU using its position in international affairs and negotiator of international treaties and commitments to gain more control over member states policies in everything from defence to energy and from economics to media.

Too many versions of Brexit?

There sure is careful, you yourself seem to invent another couple of versions everyday, and then say nobody voted for your invented versions. Weird.


May's (well done! at last!) version to take us out was rejected.


Well it wasn't May's version - it was the eu version, written by the eu, worded by the eu. And it didn't take us out, we would have remained in to the extent of still being under the command of the eu in some respects, have zero representation in eu matters and furthermore still pay lots into the eu gravy train.


How do you get so many facts wrong in just two small sentences (well I say sentences, of course the first attempt isn't a sentence at all!).

Mind if I ask if you've had a glass of Emva cream tonight?
