BREAKING
Rishi Sunak's tax return has just been published.
In tax year 2022/23 he made c£2.3m.
He paid £520,000 in tax.
All legal.
An effective tax rate of c 23% as a lot of it was capital gain (eg profit on share sales) not income.
We don't know which company shares he earned these millions from, or where he holds his shares, as he holds his wealth in a "blind trust"....which is blind to the rest of us.
Employees generally pay much higher rates of tax + national insurance.

He is literally laughing at us whilst he lies through his teeth.
Sky News understands Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie were among around 40 people to attend a drinks event in the Downing Street garden during the UK's first national #COVID19 lockdown.

To those saying "yeah, but Labour never had free school meals over holidays."
You are correct.
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and the Labour Government from 1997 decided to lift 950,000 children our of poverty instead.
Turns out when you cut poverty, you don't need free meals.

We can’t remove external problems at will, but in terms of our inner world we can develop tolerance, forgiveness and contentment. If we have developed peace of mind, we can remain calm no matter what happens in the outside world.

Nobody wants houses in our neighbourhood to flood, but we need to consider the impact on this precious nature reserve too!

We all want to see schools reopen for pupils’ education and wellbeing, but the Govt guidance so far does not provide the assurances over safety that are needed. My Q’s to the Education Secretary today.

I’m not your typical politician. I’m not a millionaire or a landlord, and I didn’t go to a posh school. Instead, I’m a lifelong socialist.
You’re as likely to see me on a picket line as you are at the dispatch box, and you can trust me to fight the establishment tooth and nail.
Labour needs a socialist leader who can work with our movement, rebuild our communities and fight for the policies we believe in - that’s why I’m standing, says Rebecca Long-Bailey. tribunemag.co.uk/2020/01/reb…
