Sir Ed said events in Ukraine had only strengthened the argument to extend the windfall tax on the ‘record’ profits made by oil and gas companies.
‘The case for our windfall tax has only got stronger, as those profits have soared even higher for one main reason – a brutal dictator spilling innocent Ukrainian blood,’ he said. ‘There are no arguments left. The right thing to do – the fair thing to do – is to tax those blood-oil profits.’ Sir Ed said it was ‘obvious’ the country needs a general election and he accused Rishi Sunak of refusing to go to the country because he knew the Conservatives would lose.
In a direct message to the PM, he said: ‘Your Government does not have a shred of credibility left. It does not have a shred of legitimacy left. If you had a shred of integrity left, you would call a general election now.’
Is this retrospective? I saved like mad to get rid of my mortgage, can I get a 'reward' too?
Seriously?
Paid by tax payers! Where is this money tree?
