In the line of fire
Friday 17th July
Hi
One of the less reported news items this week was the Prime Minister's speech about the economy where he lambasted its recent performance.
The speech also included the "six drivers" the government wants to use to address the country's economic underperformance.
One which property owners need to be wary of has been labelled "a world-class tax system".
Finish reading my blog here and don't forget to post your comments.
Have a great weekend.
Warm regards
The Landlord
