Dirty Money

Immoderate and unsensible persons have calculated that taxing toy ocean liners and private jets would bring in more revenue than letting pensioners freeze or perpetuating child poverty. Naturally, Team Starmer does not recognise the figures, whose implementation would have the most appalling consequences. Besides exposing Team Starmer's green agenda to plausible accusations of non-tokenism, it would reduce the amount of spare cash which patriotic squillionaires would have on hand for bungs to the Dear Leader and his retinue; which would not only be unpragmatic and ideological, but might well verge upon the antisemitic.
