Yes, and according to some voices from abroad, there won’t be particularily good trade deals for UK in Europe. So UK might want to give away good deals like those in favour for corporations.

..Plus that mention of all that tax paid by the rich minority are government facts.

I agree with Imran! Tony Blair’s Labour government gave us a whole new boost of millionaires! The most millionaires we ever had!

And good old Ted Francis needs to read my last paragraph in that comment again. Poor, ranting Left.

“Margaret Hodge, former chair of the Public Accounts Committee, is the latest politician to say that the government is recasting the UK as a tax haven.”

Well she should know. Her family business, Stemcor, have organised their tax affairs in a very tax-efficiant manner.

I can’t see the objections here apart from the usual jealousy. If we become a tax haven how does that have an adverse impact on people living here?

Who’s your hero Mick, Phil the robber baron Green? Perhaps you subscribe to Alf Doolittle’s theory about the undeserving poor? Paid a WHOLE quarter of the nation’s tax? Check your stats Mick with HMR&C before you start making wild, Daily Mail-type claims.

A crime catalogue, eh? And this is the same Left from which we’re told not to ‘stigmatise’ virtually any other criminal, just by complaining about what they do. Newspapers get the heaviest blame, especially when the Bulger killers put themselves in the news again and other such times.

Lefties also lie that to have attractive tax laws for high financiers and big business also means the poor little poor people get nothing to eat. Heavier taxes make no difference, as hard years of Old Labour in power showed.

I’ve no love for the Monty Burnses of this world. But as has been shown, the rich minority have paid over a quarter of the nation’s whole income tax anyway. And they’re the ones ready to invest after Brexit has finished. We DO get something back for all the tax cuts and sometimes dodgy dealing.
