        I'd much rather he got tough on the likes of Amazon et al ... Why go for the easy target when letting Starbucks etc get away with tax avoidance undermines the Party's claim to be the party for everyone. Yet another Lancaster House promise down the toilet. If I, a Tory, worry then

        grind the small guys into dust while cradling the giant corporate companies that continue to create their own loopholes. Sounds so very fair.

        I take a small wage but my salary is mostly a dividend. Get an NI break but no sick, holiday, pension pay. Pretty unfair.

        Maybe, if the laws were changed so that single people working were not scrutinised at every level then more folks would be a bit more honest. Says something when dole pays better.....do the maths

        #Tax...why don't you crackdown on the huge corporations making millions and paying nothing?!As a middle class you are taxed on everything hardly leaving you any savings but as a "fat fish" you keep your profits. Pathetic!

        It’s a start but frankly it’s peanuts compared to the tax the likes of Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Costa, Starbucks, Apple and even Boots avoid. If only there was as much political will to go after these global monsters the U.K. and many other countries would be much better off

        I started with this arrangement, then built it into a software business that created jobs & exported abroad Tories starting to find it hard to position themselves as the "party of business": note the sanguine response to Labour's Conference proposals Playing into Corbyn's hands
