I notice you have not asked Felicity Buchan any questions on issues relevant to Kensington constituents so I sent her questions I would like answered.
I suppose you are being your usual partisan self.

I notice Miss Khan(now sent off to work in the Lords) and Miss Horlick have answered none of your questions so you should be praising Buchan for answering the questions I set her.
Through no fault of my own, my humble flat is worth £2.2 million.
Labour supported by the Liberal Democrats will hound me out of my home of many years as my fixed income will not cover the additional tax.
The idea it can be rolled up and paid on my death is just another confiscatory tax.

If you are like me you would be mad to vote for a party that aims to destroy your way of life.

BUSINESS
RATES
I would like to see
Business Rates reformed and it is something I am very focussed on. Too
much of the burden of business rates is falling on High Street Retail. We
need streets like High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate to be revitalised
and if elected I will work with freeholders, businesses, Local and Central
Government to achieve this.
I agree with the
Treasury Committee’s conclusions that we need reform of Business Rates.
LAND
TAX ON MY HOME
The Labour Party is
advocating an annual Land Tax akin to a Wealth Tax on Property.
This is not just on
properties of over £2mm.
We estimate for the
average property in Kensington this will mean an additional bill of a whopping
£6771 per year. (That is based on an annual 0.7pc Land Tax based on the average
property price in Kensington minus the average current Kensington Council tax
bill).
The LibDems have also
supported such a Land Tax and were the first to introduce the concept of a
Mansion Tax on properties over £2m which Jo Swinson has personally
supported.
As you rightly point
out, this is a huge and unexpected bill for those who may have low and moderate
incomes including the elderly. People should not be forced out of their
family home by a tax which has nothing to do with their ability to pay it.
INHERITANCE
TAX
The Lib Dems have also advocated massively increasing Inheritance Tax by introducing a lifetime gift transfer tax taxed at income tax levels with threshold of only £250,000.
THE
EU
I have always
campaigned for a negotiated Brexit deal and a deal which protects the rights of
European citizens living in the UK. We have an agreed Brexit deal with
the EU - which passed Parliament at its first reading. I think it’s important
that we get this agreed deal through Parliament and we provide certainty for
business and individuals. We cannot have years more of uncertainty and
paralysis. We need to move on to focus on the important domestic agenda -
police, schools, NHS.
The Liberal Democrats
say they will revoke Article 50 but they will never be able to get enough MPs
to form a Government, so they will get into bed with Corbyn and the SNP -which
causes more uncertainty.
The Brexit Party will
not be able to win in Kensington (if they take 500-1000 votes off the
Conservatives then all they do is increase the likelihood of a Labour victory
in Kensington).
The Lib Dems are being
very opportunistic about this seat and not thinking about what’s in Kensington
voters’ interests.
NO CARPETBAGGER!
I’m local - I’ve lived
in K&C for 25 years and I live and breathe the issues here.
I’m intimately
involved in the community here.
The Lib Dems can’t win
in Kensington.
In the last election
in 2017, the Labour and Conservative Parties were both on 42pc with the Lib Dems
a whopping 30 percentage points behind. In the 2018 Local Elections, the
difference between the Conservatives and the LibDems was even greater.
The LibDems will point you to the Euro elections but we all know turnout
there was very low and the Euros are notorious for protest votes. The
Conservatives did not even campaign in the Euro Elections in Kensington.
I believe that
Kensington needs a hardworking local MP and not someone who jumps party and
constituency.
Thank you, Mrs xxxxxx for these interesting questions.
Felicity
The Lib Dems and Labour are in collusion to massively tax income poor residents. I am no Turkey so won't vote for them.
ReplyDeleteThe Lib Dems and Labour are tremendous ar spending money they would never be able to earn.
ReplyDeleteHow come the tories have doubled the national debt then , spending more than all the Labour Governments Spending joined together. Not very fiscal is it ?
DeleteAnd I thought Boris said there would be £350 million a week for the NHS. If that's the case why the need to flog it off to Trump.
If you want to get rid of the Communist who educates her kids privately, Dent Coad then the only choice is Buchan
ReplyDeleteBut who is Buchan , not exactly a local with her finger on the pulse now is she ? A brexiteer methinks !
DeleteBrexiteer but no commie like the hypocrite Dent Coad who lives in posh social housing and educates her kids at one of England's oldest and finest private schools...she's conned you, dimwit!
DeleteComrade Dent Coad lacks integrity. She claims to be a socialist. Is she a credible socialist?
DeleteMiss Dent Coad sent her children to the elitist Christ's Hospital school. Her so called socialist credentials are called in to question because she has used money to buy them a privileged education. There is nothing wrong with elitism if you work for it whereas Comrade Dent Coad's children have obtained an advantage by paying for it.
If, and it is not accepted that, Emma Dent Coad is a socialist, why does she make so much of her upper class background? I think she told me about her high class status because she thinks she is superior to me. She does not think like a socialist.
DeleteIn capitalism, all societies are class societies- socialists want different economic arrangements and an end to capitalist and class structures.
Emma wants socialism redefined. She wants to incorporate classism in to a revisionist definition. Class is central to Emma's existence.
DeleteIf after supper one of the girls suddenly misses her Woolworth's pearls, Emma would say mine are White South Sea Pearls, the highest class of pearls.
DeleteOur borough is looking like the borough of Hackney (no offense) with many empty shops and grafitti. Hop over to our neighbouring borough Hammersmith & Fulham and you won't see as much vacant shop fronts. But let's face it, the Council is there to spend. They hold a different value than us who wants to save and be economical but be efficient.
ReplyDeleteClever of Emma to keep going with the Council allowance despite saying she wouldn't...she will need on Dec 13
ReplyDeleteActually Ms Buchan claims to be the local candidate. She comes from Chelsea and knows little about Kensington. What she does bring is strong support for a hard Brexit.
ReplyDeleteI bet Buchan has not abused a political opponent because of the colour of his skin. Cannot say the same about Emma Dent Coad MP. Emma says she "represents everyone."
DeleteHow Black people can have confidence in her?
If you vote for Emma Dent Coad, you are voting in a Prime Minister with a very nasty attitudes towards Jewish people and western values.
DeleteCorbyn prefers the values of the Iranian regime and hates western values. The World Socialist Order that Corbyn wants, (and by default Emma Dent Coad wants because she has not said otherwise) is dangerous.
How can I vote for Dent Coad?
DeleteCorbyn hates our values and, therefore, hates what this country stands for. He embraces Iran, supports Putin's Russia and let us not forget he thinks the failed socialist state of Venezuela
is great. Would he turn our Country in to a Socialist Republic like Venezuela
Emma Dent Coad comes from Chelsea too. Emma denied being in Momentum. Did she join Momentum on the quiet when the dust had settled? She started drawing her Councillor's Allowance on the sly after she made an issue of giving it up. We found out that she had double crossed us.
ReplyDelete‘Comes from’? Emma lives in Kensington. Ms Buchan lives in Chelsea. Judging by her accent she ‘comes from’ Scotland.
ReplyDeleteBuckie lives in Chelsea ...and the rest. She's been parachuted in ...Roman Abramovich has spent more time in Chelsea than Buckie .
ReplyDeleteEmma definitely comes from Chelsea but is too class conscious to represent Council tenants and people on social.
ReplyDeleteThere are no residence qualifications for parliamentary elections. It would be a big mistake to consider Emma Dent Coad suitable just because she lives in Kensington.
ReplyDeleteEmma knew how bad Kensington Council was, and continues to be, at discharging its housing responsibilities. It was a big faux pas for Emma to say that the Council's proposals for the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower showed that the Council had "listened" to residents. As a Kensington resident and former Director of the TMO, she knew full well that the TMO did not "listen" to anyone including her.
Time to thank Emma for service as MP and say goodbye.
I think anyone standing for parliament has to be an egoist. This blog shows the defending candidate in a very poor light.
