Priti Resigns

[BrilloPad]

Taxes cannot be applied retrospectively. I think you will lose some CUK votes there. Unless I am excluded.

Legalise assisted dying. By machine gun? Allowed against all cyclists who break your cycling laws?

Dare I ask what you would do about B****t?

[WTFH]

I've got used to your B***s**t, might put you in the Ministry for Information.

If you're talking about the other thing, I would get the sharpest minds in the country... to round up a wide group of people and put them in a special place where they can argue day in, day out about it.
Once they work out what they actually want (not ethereal fuzzy words, but actual wants), then we'd review it.
After doing all the preliminary work on that, we'd end up with a fact list and a desired end goal. Then we'd have a vote as to whether the country wanted that end goal or not based on the facts.

What policies would you like?
They need to be populist.

Implement a system to check and record people leaving and entering the UK. It will take a minimum of one full parliament to implement. This will have the advantage that all illegal immigrants can be more easily tracked and chucked out plus all friendly countries members who aren't self-supporting can be sent home.

Make it a requirement that all foreign citizens from non-friendly countries entering the UK have health insurance from a list of approved providers that covers the duration of their stay and that it is checked on entry. Anyone without it is put on a flight home. A few high profile cases will ensure people comply.

Re-nationalise all of the probation service.

If you're thinking our party might end up in outright power, sure you can be the Home Secretary.

What policies would you like?
They need to be populist.

Ah, populist.

OK, hanging for murder, paedophilia, and conviction for a third indictable offence ("Three strikes and you're out")

You'd walk it with those policies, provided the UK was out of the ECHR.

She's pretty sound on Brexit: https://www.politico.eu/list/brexit-...ndrea-leadsom/

But I suspect TM would worry (possibly not without good reason) that she would start stealing the show and be seen as a possible successor.

You cretins don't mind how thick your politicians are provided they support Brexit.
It's become a religion with some.
Honestly on what planet is Andrea Leadsom leadership material?

[SueEllen]

Ah, populist.

I am not Minister of Justice or the deputy PM but I will tell him and her your concerns.

Non-doms will pay tax on all property they own, and if that property is vacant the tax will be doubled
Owners of multiple properties will pay tax on 2nd properties and beyond, taxes increased if they are unoccupied for more than half the year.

I trust this will be rigorously applied to Air BNB flats in Edinburgh owned by former British citizens?

Yes.

They do not pay tax in the UK therefore they will pay higher property taxes.

[PhiltheGreek]

Yes.

They do not pay tax in the UK therefore they will pay higher property taxes.

If I live long enough, I'm voting Fox.

It seems Priti has been replaced by someone who looks good in a swimsuit. Have we turned into Italy?
