    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.
