I never read the Mail or Express, if you want to discuss if the minimum wage is high enough then that is a worthy debate, but for people to simply state "the wealthy should pay more tax", if they paid more tax it would only be squandered on pet projects and overseas aid.
Overseas aid doesn’t increase and decrease with tax revenues, it is fixed at 0.7% of GDP, which is the United Nations target.
Multi national companies should pay more tax, they have seen their tax rates repeatedly cut since 2010, while austerity has been forced on the poorest in society.
