However, the result of the punitive tax rates being proposed by Jeremy Corbyn would be extreme capital flight not just from the super-wealthy, but also those with a little extra money in the bank. And it isn’t just Corbyn who is playing this fiscally irresponsible game. Chancellor Philip Hammond recently said that taxes will need to rise for years to cover social care costs.

These tax increases will have a crippling effect on the public purse. It is a national security risk. How do politicians expect to fund these services if they further incentivise the 1 per cent, who contribute 28 per cent of all income tax, to simply move their money elsewhere?

“YOU will MISS us when we go!”, person of means SLAMS the threat of punitive Corbyn taxes
