	Replying to @PhilosopherLiam I got one. More plausible in my case but some of the more ridiculous other ones undermine the exercise. Said at the bottom it was paid for by the Lib Dems at least.

	Don’t use my son’s death, and his and his colleague’s photos - to promote your vile propaganda. Jack stood against everything you stand for - hatred, division, ignorance. twitter.com/DMReporter/sta…

	Am I the only one who thinks that the deaths of 3 Deutsch Bank loan officers is just a little weird?

	He was sacked twice for lying. So when he says he has never lied, he’s literally lying. twitter.com/PaulBrandITV/s…

	Replying to @HarrisTax Seems we are misunderstanding one another. I believe the economic system (property rules, taxation etc.) should be judged according to a theory of distributive justice (broadly agreeing with John Rawls). Are you then saying that the law isn't the *only* factor in dist. justice?

	Replying to @PhilosopherLiam @YouGov "Northern Ireland independence movement" no doubt. They are fiercely independent people.

	Labour supporters for years: terrible the BBC doesn't give Corbyn airtime. Labour supporters today: how dare BBC put Corbyn on if BJ isn't going on too.

	Replying to @HarrisTax taxation isn't all of distributive justice but how can tax not affect distribution? So if you accept distributive justice then it needs to be applied to taxation. How can you reject the need for a just society?

	Replying to @stephenkb @thegoodmrbrodie Corbyn should be seeking to get onto every outlet he can to put himself before the public. He has hidden himself away from these kinds of interviews far too much. He needs to have answers to tough questions to convince a skeptical public.

	Replying to @JudithFreedman @alexcobham and 3 others Thanks for the link- very interesting stuff. Haven't thought about this for a little while, but wondering if other principles come into play as well as legal obligations. "Treating like cases alike," "not taking personal benefits from injustice" seem like two possibilities.

	Replying to @JudithFreedman @nickshaxson So we agree diff between real & ideal, latter based on fair law and policy. But aren't there all sorts of messy grey areas? (Enforcement problems/difficulty interpreting the law/other factors getting in the way etc.) And can't moral arguments come in there as well?

	Replying to @JudithFreedman @nickshaxson Quite - the complexity and the fact that you have to judge the system as a whole really limits precision on a particular tax. But I do think there is a role for considerations of justice; that is the ultimate test. Perhaps I took you to be making a stronger point than you were.

	Replying to @JudithFreedman @nickshaxson Isn't there also be an independent 'moral' notion of fairness? Plenty to dispute about what theory of distributive justice that will be but surely this is the real test of the tax system (however difficult to apply by non-experts).
