He never got the chance to prove otherwise, did he? do you imagine the right wing media vilified him on the grounds he was less capable than Johnson?
No. It was people believing all the lies and smears about Corbyn and Labour that won it for the Tories.
A friend of mine went into a sports shop to buy a jock strap, he came out with a squash ball.
She should try a merkin.
Think his proposed attack on IHT was biggest vote loser. Scrapping allowance wouldn't make much difference to massively rich but would do to home owners, Tories cottoned on and effectively increased allowance, and it was Tories who made it possible to transfer unused portion of a previously deceased spouse to surviving member without a cap. Lifts many totally out of IHT. As it should be...
Do as you say
He was a professor emeritus at York University for a decade and occupied the chair of the Political Science department there for much of that time, so was also a strong figure in Britain's socialism.
Gifted chap and decent with it. Can't quite see point calling a course after him but would be good for some. I won't be enrolling any time soon but it's an opportunity for any outspoken socialist minded types.
There were many people warning that India needed to be put on the Red list around 3 weeks to a month or so before they actually went on it. Now I am sure if the Indian variant causes a delay in the plans for easing lockdown controls and there is an inquiry, BJ will be able to show he was following advice from the experts.
What is the tax situation for Johnson re the holiday?
Are gifts taxed? Think if giftee expires less than 7 years after gift it could be subject to IHT but don't think "gift" would attract tax otherwise???
Follows the rules of several African regimes, only the opposition can be called out as corrupt.
There seems to be an issue if the gift is received in any way related to a person's employment. Thus, if he was given this because he is PM, I think there might be something. But am very far from being fluent in tax affairs.
It's immensely complex and dependent on the amounts given, if the giver expires within seven years and exactly who the gifts are to. There are also exempted amounts, you can give £3000 in any one year with exemption from IHT. You can also give as many individual amounts of up to £250 that you wish to, so long as they are to different individuals and not to recipients of the exempted £3000.
If we do not actually know who donated it, and David Ross just says he was the facilitator not the donor, we cannot know if/when they expire. Hence, any IHT would be incalculable and we cannot work out the effective value of the gift.
Labour simply wanted to reverse cuts made to inheritance tax by george Osborne (remember him? that idiot that froze nhs salaries and increased the haemhorage of clinicians not too long befor a pandemic?). Labour manifesto would as I recall reimplement 40% tax on inheritance over 325k (something like 475k if left to children). I'm all for it. Nothing better than making ones children make their own way in the world instead of being paralysed by an inheritancee that allow them to retreat from reality.
