Who exactly is a 'working person' according to Labour?

[Notch7]

A working person is someone who gets his income from wages not from assets

It's really not hard.

 

[Notch7]

Our productivity issues are mainly limited to public sector

The vast majority of UKs gdp is made up of private sector and its extremely inefficient, lawyer firms are the worst.



Water companies - failing
Most energy suppliers - gone bust
Train operators - failing or gone bust
Housing associations have properties not habitable due to lack of maintenance
Carillion went bust

Private sector is sh1t

That being the case government should be employing us all. We would be having right off.

Why.

Do you think managing these assets doesn’t involve work ?

Precisely.

From minimum wage to millions per year

Not that relevant to the description of the people that were being refereed to. Lower income jobs What has happened is that even though the majority of people will have been aware of that a point of argument has cropped up. It's no more than that. So the description gets enlarged to people in that area that are finding economic aspects difficult. Some more so than others.

What is a lower income job? Tricky. Situations crop up where joint incomes lumped together sound ok yet some of these people can not save the deposit needed to buy a house. In some cases the time period needed puts them off completely.

No its an argument about if they are breaking a manifesto pledge. I recall discussing them pre-election and saying Labour would raise taxes, only for the usual fan boys to tell me I was talking rubbish.

That's all it is. One side will say yes, the other no, and we'll all move on come Thursday.

Maybe they worked (in the sense you mean) hard for 30 years to build said assets. So we then want to tax the feck out of such people?

Get the job shy back to work, and those feigning illness to stay on long term benefits.

Yes I suppose a wealthy person might have to call his broker once a month

That’s a lie.

Nobody said they wouldn’t raise taxes.

Conservatives are the party of high tax: from 2019 onwards they put £80b of tax raises in place

You seem to forget that you were happy to call them liars a few weeks ago.
