But not for British citizens or companies, only the rich American ones
I know Labour weren’t the holy grail of political parties but jesus christ Keir is weak
The fact they’ll even consider weakening the online safety act shows us that either:
a) the OSA is not actually about the children in the end
b) children aren’t as important as $$$$$ baby!

We really need to start building our own tech, until then we have our hands tied by Amazon data centres (that is there main buisness not shopping), Microsoft operating systems and social media platforms.

It’s quite a misleading headline. The digital services tax is levied on online businessess, not individual billionaires.
If it’s the only thing preventing Trump from removing tariffs on the UK then it may cost the Treasury more than it raises.

If that’s the case I’d rather we just burn the table down.

I’ll never vote Labour again if they do this. Even if its financially beneficial, its the message.
Fuck the poor, fuck the disabled, lets help out the fascists and dystopian mega-corps who ruin our lives and are actively attacking us.
No. I’ll never ever forgive them for this.

Starmer just cements the fact we’re a floating vassal state of the USA. Labour is giving tax breaks to the rich whilst taking away support from Disabled and poor people. Raising national insurance for businesses. More is the time than ever to buy British and stop buying American goods and services as much as possible.
“From April 6, 2025, employers’ National Insurance Contributions (NICs) will rise from 13.8% to 15%, and the secondary threshold (the point at which employers start paying NICs) will drop from £9,100 to £5,000 per year.
Here’s a breakdown of the changes and their potential impact:”
Are the people of the UK going to bend the knee to USA and Billionaires?
Inglorious555 on
All Billionaires and Multimillionaires should be taxed to high heavens.
Giving Billionaires tax breaks (like most of them paid tax anyway?) is ridiculous, these so-called Labour MP’s should be jogging backwards to their meetings and appearances given how backwards this shite is.

Labour, Tories and Reform are all the same slimy breed.
Afraid they will leave? Get the lobbying scabs out and restructure our whole corrupt government!
Our nation is not for sale!

Some days i think Kier is doing a good job and then we have shit like this and the Chagos islands. Our response should of been to threaten to increase the taxes. or just ignored the tarriffs cos the UK is on the low end of it and there is an opportunity for us to make some money out of that. Not fucking bend over to get shafted.

what an absolute wet blanket of a PM
we want some fight back, some fire like the Canadians have, trump doesn’t listen to capitulation the only way to deal with bullies is to bully them back, worse that hes offering American billionaires tax cuts at our expense.
HotPotatoWithCheese on
All of this bending over backwards for the Americans, with proposed billionaire tax cuts, weakening the online safety act and concessions to Trump, is shameful and spineless. It is going to have a massive impact on the next election if he continues down this path. The right wing already dislike him and have their minds made up with Reform, and this kind of shit will only turn away the centrists and left-leaning voters to other parties like Liberal Democrats.
“Let’s diminish financial support for poor and disabled Britons, and give the richest men on the planet some tax cuts!”
Great idea, Starmer. Really respresenting the values and foundations your party was built on.
What we should be doing is rejoining the EU and building up our own tech industry to rival the Chinese and Americans. We can’t depend on them forever.

This is absolute insanity. At this point, I see no difference between labour and conservatives.

The US are content to destroy there whole economy with tariffs….
We should be going back to the EU. There’s no reasoning with a mad man…. It’s like the US have got a Truss moment currently and have basically gone against all norms in Economics… But because it’s all Executive Orders there’s no stopping it with the usual checks and balances….
Digital services tax should be increased 10% and will continue to go up if the 10% tariffs are not removed… We need to show we are stable economically and can hopefully pick up a lot of the money out of the US, Undoubtedly a lot of the companies headquartered in the US importing Chinese hardware will be looking for more favourable business conditions…. And to not be at the whims of a tyrant…

And then they’ll wonder why the UK voted in the far right at the next election when they were the ones that gave the very people that are pushing for the far right unfettered access to the UK.

So basically, if the wording at the top is to be believed we are making the rich richer… clearly labour is not exactly what they say on the tin in fact no party is they are all corrupt and all as they do is make each other richer… if this situation is ever gonna change the masses need to stop this

Jesus the Tory government are out of control and need stopped! Sorry force of habit. Can you imagine this headline among the others that have come up this month had Liz Truss or Sunak said this? There would be petitions, hysteria and a call to march on Westminster.
Starmer stopped his Churchill cosplay it seems. Funny that the billionaires insulting Ukraine, calling for the funds to stop and those who are helping float the largest anti European US government who have openly advocated for invading the British commonwealth are the ones that made Winston Starmer kneel before them.
A truly awful, spinless, clueless and let’s face it. Straight up fucking evil person. Why would a silly disabled person cry about dieng on the streets when the richest men on the planet need a few more quid?
We have one party now. The Tory party. The actual Tory party say fuck you directly and are brazen about it. The opposition in labour say fuck you as well but with a nice suit and the new party reform say fuck you but also fuck Muhammed.
Folks, I think if anything on this sub is a shared viewpoint it is how badly we are being ran. Britian is being ran by middle managers in the style of a business that’s closing down. They are there to manage decline and eventual shutting of the doors. We deserve and we need better and need something that speaks to our common values as opposed to our divisions.

So cutting NHS staff to give people with more £ than they could ever spend even more cash?

I’m confused by this sub, somebody posted about a wealth tax the other day and all of the comments were saying it’s a stupid idea as the rich would all leave. And now kier does this and everyone is complaining still? Make your minds up…. Should we tax the rich or not 😂 I think we should but I’m not sure we’re all consistent here.

Tax cuts for American billionaires, but fuckall for actual working Brits. Labour party do anything remotely socialist challenge: impossible.
