I wonder how, or if, that differs from what the tories call "hard working families"

Does that include the Bra Baroness, or Phillip Green? Lord Amstrad?

What is it about Lord Sugar and Sir Philip Green that you don't like?

"He said he thought of a working person as someone who “goes out and earns their living, usually paid in a sort of monthly cheque" and who can't "write a cheque to get out of difficulties".

Speaking afterwards, his spokesman sought to clarify that those with a "small amount of savings" could still be defined as working people.

This could include cash savings, or stocks and shares in a tax-free Individual Savings Accounts (ISA), he suggested."

You can watch the video
the question was clear as was the answer.

No amount of swerving can avoid the fact that:

someone who works but gets their income from assets as well such as shares and property, does not fit in his definition of a working person.

 

[denso13]

its what he said.

That's better.

 

[ajohn]

and went on to say....

Which was fairly clearly put but could be expanded on but where to stop?

 

[denso13]

its going to be a long wait

It is, because he never said it. The interview shows clearly what he is thinking.

 

[motorbiking]

its exactly what he said. Stop lying.

Only he know what he was thinking. We on the other hand know what he said.

 

[denso13]

its exactly what he said

It's obvious what was behind the questioning. Like you said, Sky were spinning a story, and you fell for it.

Starmer also defined working people as people who don't own stocks

not the same as

but gets their income from assets as well such as shares and property

A working person who owns a few shares in say Tesco

is not the same as

A person whose income comes from asset such as shares


poor Motorbiking keeps getting everything wrong.............thats where grifting for the right takes you

poor Motorbiking keeps getting everything wrong.............thats where grifting for the right takes you

but that wasn't her definition. Once again for the hard of thinking...

did she ask:

for someone who earns their income exclusively from shares or property

or

for someone who works but gets their income from assets as well such as shares and property

which bit of "for someone who works" but also get their income "from assets as well". is so hard to understand?

The fact is he intends to break the promise that "working people will not be hit by these changes".

A person whose income comes from asset such as shares

you missed out the "and property" bit.

Having second (and third, or more) properties makes a person markedly different from someone who waits on their wages going in, each month.
