It seems Labour is now the party of small business!
Cllr Faulks is supposed to be responsible for stimulating local business.
Instead of bashing away to get radical reform we are fed silly PR gimmicks to supposedly support struggling businesses.
The Council does nothing to get rid of this confiscatory tax.
The reason why councils don't want change has to do with two factors.
- Small business has no vote
- The Council gets 25% Business Rates kickback from C. Government.
The Chancellor must overhaul business rates levied on high street firms if he is serious about tackling the cost of living crisis, the shadow business secretary said on Sunday.
Jonathan Reynolds warned that workers’ pay was likely to be hit as a result of joint pressure businesses were facing from the levy and this week’s National Insurance rise.
Reynolds told The Telegraph that the current system of business rates was “acting as a tax on growth”.
Under the current system of small business rate relief, the bill for a typical hairdresser that expands from one to two sites would increase from £0 to £5,000, while an average shop would go from paying £0 now to £10,000, according to Labour analysis.
This sounds very progressive, my dear Dame.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is if Emma Dent Coad stands in Kensington at the next General Election, and she seems determined to do so, she is on record as saying that she does not understand what Keir Starmer is trying to do. However, she had no difficulty understanding what the Marxist, Citizen Corbyn, was trying to do when he led the Labour Party.
If EDC gets in again, don't expect her to help any business people because she does not understand what the Labour Party's new management is doing. And, she certainly does not understand business. We all know that Marxist hate business and her interest in policy for business is something she finds hard and impossible to understand.
A. EDC will never be elected
ReplyDeleteB. The Shadow Chancellor wants reform
C. Conservatives hate small biz. They like oligarchs]
A. Emma Dent Coad is out of her depth in politics. She should stick to architecture.
ReplyDeleteEmma Dent Coad is not good on economics or the needs of small businesses. She's like these stupid Marxists who think social policy and economic policy are not part and parcel of the same thing. The best social policy is of course economic policy, Emma take heed. Emma's good on personal finance though. This is the one who claimed two lots of money from the public purse for representing Golborne residents: her Councillor's Allowance and her MP's Salary. There would be more money for the needy at Grenfell if she had not done this.
ReplyDeleteVoters in St Helens' Ward need to think about voting her in.
ReplyDelete.....especially as she has failed to condemn Corbyn's position on Nato being responsible for the situation in Ukraine. Nato is not responsible for genocide and rape.
ReplyDeleteUnless Dent Coad starts toeing the Labour Party's line instead of toadying up to the Party's Marxist ne'er do wells, (Corbyn, Abbott, McDonnell, Burgon,& Webbe) she is not fit to lick St. Helen's voters' boots. St Helen's needs sane Labour not Loony Left Labour.
DeleteThere are some stars in the national and local Labour Party. Reforming business rates makes sense.
DeleteEmma's not one of the stars. Henderson was by far, superior to her.
Emma could not even manage get on with the very congenial Judith Blakeman. She could not even manage to have a proper go at the Tories over that Housing Association they set up to run the Council flats in the Borough.
WOODGER if you don't knock her in to cocked hats on Polling Day, it would be a disgrace.
EDC is so 'close' to Corbyn politically - as much as Corbyn was 'close' to former Soviet Socialist Imperialism.
DeleteSoviet Socialist Imperialism?
DeleteDo you mean Communism?
Strictly speaking "Soviet Socialist Imperialism" is Socialism not Communism. Most people in the UK call it Communism, not Socialism.
DeleteI think EDC might complain (to the police) if anyone suggested that she is a Communist. She doesn't mind anyone calling her a Socialist but I am not sure she likes anyone defining socialism as having anything to do with Marxism.
In Karl Marx's paradigm, Communism is a teleological process beyond Socialism.
Hope this helps.
If you are lucky enough to be admitted in to the inner sanctum at the Kensington Kremlin, you will be invited in to the Socialist Salons of Campden Hill, Notting Hill Gate, and Kensington to discuss Marx, Trotsky and Lenin and the meaning of Socialism.
DeleteDoes anyone know why she gave up Golborne?
ReplyDeleteI heard she wanted to get in in Notting Dale What went wrong there?
Did Notting Dale shaft her? I shouldn't think they wanted her.
DeleteNo nice person is in politics. It is a filthy line to be in. Henderson was shafted in the most squalid, and sordid way. If they can do this to Henderson just what would they do to a powerless person like me who might need their help.
ReplyDeleteEmma "Medici" "Columbus" Dent Coad is a delusional socialist.
ReplyDeleteShe gave an interview in 2017 in which she tried to prove how left wing she was by "slagging off" the Royal Family - nothing wrong in that because that is what is important to her. However, there is something seriously worrying about what she followed up with - she claimed that she was "one of them," one of the Royals no less. She said, she was a "descendent of Catherine de Medici, Christopher Columbus and the Borgias."
The Dame's glorious correspondents and hornets were unmerciful, for five long years, about the ridiculous claim that she was descended from Catherine de Medici. She has at long last admitted that she is nothing to do with Catherine de Medici and patronisingly told the Dame that Catherine de Medici was Italian, not Spanish. We all knew that Emma.
Emma, why did you lie to the journalist about Catherine de Medici and deceive all of your voters at the same time?
Emma, admit you are nothing to do with Christopher Columbus or prove that you are? We do not accept internet links just proper evidence.
Emma, your claim to be a descendant of the Borgia's is spurious to say the least. One of your cousins has the name "Borja de Borja" and this does not prove that he is anything to do with them.
How can anyone vote for this delusional woman?
Socialist or mendacious toe rag?
Emma, liar, liar, your pants on fire!
ReplyDeleteCatherine de Medici and Christopher Columbus,
tell me I beseech you, what a load of crap this socialist has to teach you.
Emma Dent Coad, the incorruptible socialist and Corbynista, did for Ian Henderson.
ReplyDelete"Incorruptible?" Ironic!
ReplyDeleteTrotskyite Turpitude at the Kensington Constituency Labour Party is what "did" for Ian Henderson.
ReplyDeleteMalicious marxists in Kensington Labour got rid of Henderson - shameful behaviour! Some EDC supporters suggest that Henderson is a Tory- BALDERDASH.
ReplyDeleteI love the alliteration of "TROTSKYITE TURPITUDE" and the "SOCIALIST SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL."
A School for Socialist Skullduggery,
ReplyDeletetell me I beseech you,
needs there a School,
this modest art to teach you.
If Mrs Medici Columbus Dent Coad does not get in in May, she will blame all the people who have written on this, she's a bad loser.

ReplyDeleteTrotsky said, "Shoot them, the Royals, like partridges."
ReplyDeleteEDC the Aristocratic Trot! Columbus and the Borgias no less!
DeleteI know a man who knows a bloke whom she told that she was classier than any of the Tories on Kensington and Chelsea Council.
Her Marxist integrity is unassailable.
She was born in Stepney in the East End of London.
ReplyDeleteShe never mentioned that when she talked about growing up in Paulton's Square, Chelsea, her Professor father, and her Grandfather spook. She did mention Columbus and the Borja's.
What does she know about a Labour voter living in a Council flat?
I danced with a man,
ReplyDeletewho danced with a girl,
who danced with the Prince of Wales.
She is a pretentious, Madam. Columbus and the Borgias indeed and marrying to one who became Sir Hadley D'Oyly.
DeleteI love the,
I danced with a man, who danced with a girl, who danced with the Prince of Wales.........
I went to the Sacred Heart School with Margaret Dent who now goes by the name of Emma Dent Coad. She always was a stuck up snob, looking down on those girls whose parents had menial occupations. She always claimed she was a cut above with her medical father. She made me suffer. My dad was a factory operative. I still got a BA.
ReplyDeleteShe sent her children to a public school with a ridiculous uniform. She wanted them to be of the highest social class. The Columbus Borgia crap was foremost in her marxist mind when she compromised all of her left wing principles. Socialism is only good for the sons and daughters of the lowest orders. The peasants must know their place; mustn't they Emma.
ReplyDeleteShe has not condemned Corbyn for saying that the existence of NATO was the problem that caused the war in Ukraine?
ReplyDeleteShe has condemned Corbyn for repeated antisemitism. She "liked" a virulent left wing antisemitic article on the internet. Corbyn and Coad are typical of middle class antisemitic socialists.
You have paid her a compliment describing her as a
ReplyDelete"middle-class socialist." Did you mean to say that she has NOT "condemned Corbyn for repeated anti-semitism?"
Be in no doubt that anti-Black and anti-Jewish prejudice is in her DNA.
ReplyDeleteProof positive: liking a nasty anti-Jewish trope on social media and drawing a picture of a Black guy being hanged. I wouldn't like her mind. What does the Labour Party think it is doing allowing her to stand.
Coad has not condemned Corbyn over his pro-Russian and anti-Nato stance.
ReplyDeleteSt Helen's voters who support Ukrainian sovereignty need to have this in their minds when they vote.
Jeremy Corbyn has said he is "considering" forming his own Party.If you vote for Labour's Emma Dent-Coad in St Helen's Ward, how can you be certain that she will not defect to Corbyn's New Communist Party if he sets it up.
ReplyDeleteEmma Dent Coad is not a great political thinker. She knows that Kensington voters don't want a Marxist representing them. She is always most careful to play down her Marxist tendencies; taking us all for fools. Strange because Emma seems to suggest "love Corbyn, the decent man, but hate Marxism." Marxism is a major part of Corbyn's political makeup.Impossible to divorce support for Corbyn from Marxism.
ReplyDeleteShe has not said Corbyn was wrong about blaming the existence of NATO for Putin's invasion and genocide in Ukraine. Dangerous when Putin, a genocidal maniac, proceeds knowing that Corbyn is on message and in tune with his Soviet vision. We know that EDC is only able to get your bins emptied and streets swept but it is her values and her enthusiasm for Corbynism that worries one.
