He appeared to propose a different tax scale for PE and referred to them as asset strippers. Its a bit of a backward step to the union rhetoric of 4 or 5 years ago when PE was making big profits.

Christ, my own business is totally reliant on private equity in the form of business angels.


They've got plenty of other options for their cash, and SME is very high risk, so anything that dissuaded them from investing in small business start ups, early stage funding, the rounds and pre IPO would be absolutely insane.


You'd kill small business.


I can see an argument to dissuade those that target existing mature businesses from asset stripping, but Milliband would need to be very careful in how he couches any legislation.

So what do we all think of the proposal to raise the speed limit to 80?


I was quite surprised as I'd forgotten that occasionally something sensible and positive can come out of a politician. I guess occasionally policy brainstorming does deliver the goods...


Presumably it is now only a matter of time before Ed suggests that it needs to be raised to the right level and not the wrong level. That the Torys are wrong, wrong, wrong and are going too far too fast. And that we should all get on board his plan to raise the limit to 78mph.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
