Having heard PMQs today..

Businesses get tax cuts, oil and gas extractors get to keep their profits.

We, the tax payers is about to pick up and hand to our Children a £200 BIllion debt just to live this Winter.

Well done..

Here is what I predicted yesterday on another thread here:

Bet you the government will give out just enough for the truly desperate to scrape by.

I also bet you the gov will find a way to use this crisis to shift more mmoney towards the rich.

And I bet the Tories will make most of us pay this all back - except the rich.

Businesses, most of them SME's, employ over 80% of the workforce. We can't all work for the public sector or live on benefits.

Reducing the financial burden on business in the current climate is a very good thing.

I don't believe she will be Boris MK2 even if the policies are similar. I have every faith she will take the job seriously And she already comes across more professional and business like.

It is vital that we help businesses out to save jobs because a lot of small to medium sized businesses will not be able to cope and we'll have to shut. A business owner is very often not what people would consider to be rich.

Except that reducing CT for SME’s just means that the owner shareholders will still pay tax on their dividends, whereas multi-nationals still get to siphon away dividends offshore and tax free.

Which of the above do you think are most likely to be Conservative Party donors?

how much does corporation tax help here ?

If you lose money it's no help.

I guess it may help make it worthwhile for some who are looking at whether their profits are worth the risks. Effectively giving them a small payrise.

But I do wonder how many SME wouldn't be in the UK if taxes went up... It feels like the tax decision is more a factor for large corporations...

I suspect all sorts of people are "donors" to the Conservative Party, small and large. You just mean large donors and assume that the Conservatives just run the country to benefit that small group of people (which presumably wouldn't have a great deal of longevity to it as a strategy if the electorate did not think it was broadly benefiting).

In the same way that the Labour Party (presumably) just runs the country for whoever they are talking to at the Trade Unions at the moment. Though of course the Labour Party very rarely does get to run the country, because the electorate assumes them to be incompetent, as well as awash with self servers and extremists.

So if you vote for a political party you are guilty of something and if don't vote for a political party you are guilty of something.

Why you betting? You've already lost.

She already did, by reversing the NI increase that won't make a penny difference to those already paying zero NI.

So the only ones that will benefit from this generous cut will be middle to high earners, completely missing those most desperate.

It's a complete farce, not Windfalling the Fossil extractors who claim "to be in the Energy industry", who keep extracting to burn to destroy our climate.

To avoid upsetting them when they've invested so little in renewables, is a disgrace they got away with it.

They could have invested enough to be balanced income instead from renewables instead of Fossils.

The Windfall should be doubled Labour's suggestion, £170b to help immediately and the another £170 put into rapid renewables investment. If the companies can't do it, the government should take the money and do it for them.

Gas/Electricity has tripled, this means VAT income has also tripled. The government should Windfall themselves and invest into renewables filled by a VAT cut to 1% (same income value as two years ago) or zero rated.

She ain't interested in anyone who doesn't have an income above minimum NI.

Completely different PM and an entirely new range of Mps in the cabinet.

Still the same civil servants and advisors guiding them and the same lobby groups approaching them.

They are 'in the energy industry'. Gas has no other use than burning it to release the energy in it.

Why would you expect them to do that? Fossil fuel companies have invested billions into their various fields. You wouldn't expect them to start investing in something that will make their old investments obsolete. They obviously want to extract the maximum profit possible from their fossil fuel investments before moving on to something else.

If you want to blame someone, blame the government for its failure to predict the current situation and mandate change.

A very simplistic view on life, without business there wouldn't be any taxpayers

I mean, not making the planet uninhabitable would be maybe a reason they could consider a different approach.
