If the overnight tax works so well in the EU then maybe hospitality should have the same sort of differential VAT rates as other EU countries 🤔

This reminds me of the Adolescence exchange. Badenoch is saying something which won't seem radical to the public - though many will disagree - and it's being responded to like some sort edgelord hot take.

'You should aspire to live wherever you want to live, but you shouldn't aspire for the government, i.e. other taxpayers, to pay for you to live wherever you want to' Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch told #BBCBreakfast she would target housing allowance as one of the measures to reduce spending on welfare bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c2jq3d…

One of the interesting things about the reaction to any land value tax is that reveals how many otherwise left-wing people in the South East of England are perfectly happy to tax everything, so long as they get to inherit their parents' house. – at Sundridge, South East

Housing in London is vastly undertaxed. Why should a house in Manchester that costs almost 3 times less pay nearly the same monthly council tax?

If a single pint after work with colleagues becomes legally risky, then the 5-7pm pub business collapses. Completely. With so many pubs already struggling, this will be a death knell.

Keir Starmer and the Labour government have sold British fishing waters down the river to the EU. A 12-year deal has been done on fishing access for EU boats into UK waters We will campaign and give a voice to our fishing communities across the UK. No Fishing, No Food.

Keir Starmer has betrayed the farming industry and the fishing industry. Labour will pay a heavy price in rural and fishing constituencies in future elections.
