@sarahwoolley01 @garyseconomics @CatHobbs @RachelReevesMP Failed everywhere it’s been tried 🤡 Gary is a bell end. We’re spending billions on carbon capture and other net zero fantasies. We’re also spending billions on people who weren’t born here and add zero value!

@sarahwoolley01 @garyseconomics @CatHobbs @RachelReevesMP Finally, the Greens being honest about their true ambitions. Always has been wealth envy and Marxism, always will be. The majority reject Marxism at the ballot box, so they rebrand it something that feels nice.

@sarahwoolley01 @garyseconomics @CatHobbs @RachelReevesMP "The combined wealth of UK millionaires went up by £35 million every day" Surely you understand how meaningless this is? By the way, even if you could take ALL of these gains (which is charitable beyond belief - you can't), it would add up to about.. 1 week of NHS spending.

@sarahwoolley01 @garyseconomics @CatHobbs @RachelReevesMP If socialists understood economics they wouldn’t be socialists You can’t tax your way into prosperity Wealth taxes don’t work- there’s a reason why it’s not universally adopted tax Multimillionaires are mobile, so are their businesses leading to lost jobs & reduced tax revenue
