More Labour hypocrisy

Just heard about this whilst listening to LBC radio and found this:

Quote:

A senior Labour politician was under fire last night for attacking right to buy – while renting out a property she bought from a housing association.

Emily Thornberry has come out against David Cameron’s pledge to extend the right to buy policy from council tenants to those in housing association homes.

Do as I say not as I do it seems. Considering they're always banging on about a shortage of property blah, blah, blah, Labour's fat cats rather like owning their fair share of it. I'd have thought they'd want to practice what they preach... :rolleyes:

Re: More Labour hypocrisy

And the hypocrisy goes right to the top of Labour:

They carry on talking the talk and idiots suck it up...

If anyone wanted the definition of an out of touch, self serving, fat cat Bliar would be a very good place to start. Labour's best leader by all accounts... :rofl:

Don't forget ALL parties are basing their tax and spend plans on the OBR's forcasts rather than the IMF's. Osborne is no different there.

IF the IMF are correct then any incoming government is going to find it much tougher than they had imagined.

You can see it in Osborne's eyes and body language that he's a complete liar.

be glad to see the back of him next month.

Who'd have thought tearing the rectum out of public sector investment would slow growth and cause productivity issues? An economist perhaps.

I can think of something that may help, but it would require that apparent swearword that is borrowing. :)

Indeed. I feel much the same when I speak with anyone who seriously believes that the Conservatives will be any more successful at fulfilling their deficit reduction promises next term than they were this one :)

But lets get back to the hypocrisy: Ed Miliband's US adviser pays no tax in Britain

Quote:

Ed Miliband's most senior adviser pays no tax on his reported £300,000 earnings in Britain
Labour confirmed it pays Mr Axelrod in dollars through his consultancy and that he "lives in the US, works in the US and pays taxes in the US".

While it is unclear how much tax Mr Axelrod will pay in the US, the rates of tax for companies are often significantly lower than for individuals.

The admission comes after Ed Miliband put a crackdown foreigners who pay lower rates of tax at the heart of his election manifesto.

Why anyone could be arsed to vote for any of these charlatan snake oil salesmen, is beyond me.
