Keir Starmer has appointed a high tax fanatic, Minouche Shafik, as his personal economic adviser. Shafik is a collectivist academic who believes that “the idea that you are successful because you are smart & hardworking is pernicious & wrong." She is a menace. 1/6
She wants to grab people's pension pots, saying "those with comfortable pension pots must be expected to pay more towards the common good.” She also proposed “the imposition of property taxes which would direct a flow of capital from those in high value properties to those
She co-chaired Torsten Bell's ‘Economy 2030 Inquiry’ which proposed a vast number of tax hikes, including the following: Cut the VAT registration threshold to £50,000 then £30,000. Create Road Duty for EVs. End free carbon permits & introduce carbon border adjustment. Encourage
“I am not just a person who wants to raise taxes and share out more. I want everyone to pay their fair share of taxes," she says. She complains that taxes are too low. She is just another clueless leftist academic and bureaucrat with no experience of the real world.
Economist Julian Jessop said that Shafik “has no business experience and little clout in the financial markets. Shafik’s expertise is in the economics of developing countries, and she seems even keener on wealth taxes and income redistribution.” he said.
Economic adviser Dr Gerard Lyons said: “The combination of Torsten Bell and Minouche Shafik, alongside the restraints of manifesto commitments, fiscal rules and overspending, points to a Budget where taxes will go up & the bias will be towards hitting the middle classes hard with
@CutMyTaxUK She's also the former President of Columbia University who lost her post for failing to stop the harassment of Jews on campus. Yet another antisemite added to Starmer's commie cult.
@CutMyTaxUK Yeah, it’s because of risk taking. She’s right but she’s too stupid to know why
@CutMyTaxUK Almost too easy 😂 take it she is neither 'smart or hardworking' then. 🤣
@CutMyTaxUK Wonder if minouche is paying her fair share or if will get keir to give up some of his gold plated pension
@CutMyTaxUK She is probably right about success in her world.
@CutMyTaxUK It's almost as if a certain demographic has managed to plant itself deep within British politics and has set to ruin the country from within.
@CutMyTaxUK Given the track record of urban progressives on issues like this, I'd say real journalists need to investigate her net worth, inheritance and trusts associated with her immediately.
@CutMyTaxUK @tlloydjones Another Muslim !
@CutMyTaxUK Goodbye UK plc, you are about to be flushed down the toilet, Leibour have never understood the dynamics of the economy, sometimes more taxation results in less collected 🙄
@CutMyTaxUK Is she Stalin's sister reincarnated? Wtf name is that anyway?!
@CutMyTaxUK FFS
@CutMyTaxUK Her, bell and reeves this is the ultimate 3 amigos …this could not be any worse (IMF apart) get ready for you will own nothing be happy eating mad Ed’s bugs And of course being digitally tracked and controlled..this is bad !
@CutMyTaxUK I really need to forget buying a new house, sell this one, and fuck off somewhere else.
@CutMyTaxUK I can only imagine how Shafik will distribute our hard earned cash!! 😡
@CutMyTaxUK @grok what is Minouche Shafik's net worth?
@CutMyTaxUK Shevs right I the case of the Labour front bench 😉
@CutMyTaxUK Her ideas seem sensible to me. The increasing wealth gap is causing many problems in UK.
@CutMyTaxUK I wonder what her excuse is? This is Stalin kind of thinking. I have said we don’t have a traditional labour government.
@CutMyTaxUK Another totally incompetent and dangerously ideological lunatic. The U.K. economy is screwed under @UKLabour This will be their last budget.
@CutMyTaxUK She's earning vast amounts of money & is a multi millionaire. So it's a case of " I'm wealthy, but you musn't be". What a ghastly women, not really living in the real world. She will do enormous harm before it all comes crashing down like a pack of cards
@CutMyTaxUK She ls gonna tell Two Tier he’s right, when he’s actually fucking things up something rotten.
@CutMyTaxUK Did you see her in front of the Senate Committee? My goodness she should have disappeared into obscurity.
@CutMyTaxUK Not a member of the Fabian Society, but appointed as the director of the London School of Economics, which was founded by members of the Fabian Society.
@CutMyTaxUK Why can't they just leave us to look after ourselves & create wealth for our children's future? Every policy they want to implement has a negative effect FFS
@CutMyTaxUK He could have just asked Angie & saved a fortune for us tax payers.
@CutMyTaxUK Typical another Muslim to destroy the country
@CutMyTaxUK Key reason for this appointment is a sop to the moderate Muslim lobby - in an effort to prevent large scale abandonment of @UKLabour for Corbyn’s new “Your Party”.
@CutMyTaxUK It's totally hypocritical when we have Starmer with his special tax free pension. I suspect those in power will be exempt from the hideous tax rises👇
@CutMyTaxUK Will these pension pots she raids include public sector workers Hopefully they won’t be excluded
@CutMyTaxUK When they show you who they are believe them!
@CutMyTaxUK @Rubiespal Will these very well paid individuals who appear to dislike wealth accrued from work & enterprise put their money where their mouth is & take a pay cut? A rhetorical question, of course
