I think I've found the flaw with all the Tory leadership candidates. They're all completely delusional and moronic. Or totally playing to the looney gallery. |

taxpolicy.org.uk "What we don’t know – but can speculate Let’s speculate that one of the trusts disclosed by the Independent is an excluded property trust holding Mrs Sunak’s Infosys shares. This could be completely wrong – in which case the Sunaks should say so, and I’ll correct this post. But if that’s right, when Mrs Murty said she would now be taxed on her overseas income, she was being exceedingly cute. The reality would be that the dividend income is received by their offshore trust, and so isn’t Mrs Murty’s income at all. The Sunaks would then be avoiding several £m of UK tax on the dividends, and – if the trust sells the shares in the future – there’s no capital gains tax on the sale. Whether or not Mrs Sunak is claiming the remittance basis would then be a red herring. Her non-dom status enabled her to set up the trust and put the shares in it (in a way a normal UK resident couldn’t). But the trust income/gains remain untaxed" |

Odds of getting a new PM who isn't a complete goober are getting longer and longer. Please don't let it be Braverman, who is smashing the trifecta of delusional self-belief, grotesque incompetence and a crypto-fascist platform. |

The lack of a constitution means a severe democratic deficit as whoever the scum choose as leader becomes prime minister - as with May and Johnson himself - without being elected. Doesn’t feel right to me. The Chartists wanted annual elections |

We don't lack a constitution, it's just uncodified. Even if it were written down, the system would still be valid to allow a party with an overall majority to change its leader mid parliament which for me ensures we don't tip the balance into having a presidential style PM with a genuine personal mandate. |

Well she's a Brexiter. Anti-science fits their ideology. That's one of the things that Brexit was about - many brexiters were clear about the fact that it would no longer be tied into EU emissions reduction targets. They were explicit about it. |

The Venn diagram between those who voted for Brexit and those who deny science is quite close to being a circle. I'd make them all live in the 13th century. But JRM would probably enjoy that. |

Why do you make such sweeping assumptions about why people voted to leave the EU. I proudly voted leave because I was fed up with successive governments blaming failure and using the EU as an excuse e.g the sexist tampon tax was banned on the EU setting VAT rates. I would vote leave again in any future vote on the subject. |
