@Neil-qg9cw two thoughts on this. One is tax assets that can't be moved. They can sell up if they like, then those assets can be bought up by someone who does care about the nation they are based in, who is willing to contribute to maintainance and investment in this country 🙂 The other is going to be a sore point for some people, but it needs saying. If you want compliance on tax, it helps to have a big stick to threaten those who don't want to comply Know what's big enough to work? Being excluded from business across an entire continent. That makes even the biggest corporation stop and pay attention!

@equaltoreality8028 Nonsense. Businesses go where the customers are. I am not suggesting we try take every penny, but there's plenty of middle ground between Tory lack of effort and overkill. You can tax quite highly if you have well paid workers providing a strong customer base

@squicker Now this I agree with - we are stuck with low productivity due to a decade or more of low investment, which limits what we can use to bootstrap investment and increase productivity I am confident that we need to fund that investment from somewhere through, the low investment low productivity spiral has to be broken
