    Why are you so cross about this? He only means that he’ll tax their unearned income a bit more, and if they really are working people out won’t affect them much.

    The extent to which it affects workers is the extent to which they aren’t workers. It isn’t the logical gotcha you seem to think it is.

      Why am I so cross? Because I am stripped my working people status by Starmer despite me working all my adult life and still can’t start buying a house, for putting a bit of my savings into stock, just so he can claim he “didn’t raise working people’s taxes”.

      That’s just peak slimey politician behaviour.

      Do I think people who own a lot of stocks and assets should be taxed. Hell yes, let’s tax those motherfuckers. But just don’t lie and stop twisting the definition of working people.

      Edit: typo

        So sorry, there’s a typo in your second sentence and I can’t figure out what you meant to say.
