They surely can't last another 4 years in power?

Any of their supporters want to stick up for them anymore?

One Sunny They?  Sven?  ray?

Reeves doing what they do best....Tax-a-holic! Personally as a Ltd Company Contractor....Dividend Tax hurts. 

And as for continuing to freeze Income Tax bands to 2031....massive pile of cսnt that is Another 6 years at the current thresholds means they'll have been frozen for pretty much 10 years...by which point goods are likely to be about 40% (!) more expensive than when the freeze started! 

By other calculators it's more like 50% (I'm using the ten years up to now to extrapolate to the ten years it will have been by 2031....so it assumes the rate of inflation between. 2015 and 2021 matches up to the rates between now and 2031). 

Means by the time we get rates unfreezed (if it ever happens) the higher threshold will be the equivalent of about 33k (as of the point the freeze started)! 

Living standards in the UK going through the floor. Government are cunts....all of them (regardless of party).

fair play to Kemi Badenoch - she absolutely destroyed Reeves.
"budget for Benefits Street paid for by working people"

Reeves looks like she might cry again.

Delaying the changes to salary sacrifices into pensions until April 2029.
Suits me. Was expecting it to be from April 2026 costing me a fair bit

A desperate and clueless government trying to buy the votes of the kind of people who have large families and live on benefits.

Tax threshold freeze will have gone on for ten years if this policy sticks. Shocking confiscation of wages from the low paid whilst dragging middle income people (mostly Londoners and southerners) into a tax bracket that is supposed to be for the well-off. Ever more pensioners will be paying income tax on their old age pension.

3p per mile for electric cars? I'll be binning mine off by April 28 and going back to fuel.

These cunts are fucking clueless.
 
 
And this is why they brought forward the sale of electric cars only from 2030.

They left don't want to raise people up, they want everyone dragged down together.

having to watch that slug Lammy is the worst part of this, pointing fingers and shouting 'shame' at everyone.


hilarious her talking about bringing inflation down, as it was her decisions which have pushed inflation back up.

It's alright to pick workers' pockets more as they are making it easier for the idle feckless to pop out kids left, right and centre and bill the taxpayer for it.

A contemptible government.

Apparently a pickpocketing is beyond the pale, but a violent mugging is OK.

£26 BILLION of tax raises by 2030.

Extension of tax threshold freeze until 2031.

Two child benefit cap lifted meaning the idle feckless can pop out more kids and bill the taxpayer.

This socialist government has to be the worst in living memory. Still four more years of these clowns to endure.

if you look back at the pre-election debates, the much maligned Rishi Sunak warned about labour putting up taxes and was shouted down. Turns out that he was right.

Rachel from accounts seems determined to kill the U.K. economy.
They've been spinning this for two or three weeks in the hope of hoodwinking the voters/population.

I suspect Rachel from accounts is going to get a shock with how quickly ordinary people, not to mention businesses, work out that she's stitched them up...again

In one of the many posts that you infected with your bilge, you actually admitted to making it that claim about your Cambodian activities, then called on a recent (previous day, IIR) Whoicider to support you in a claim that it was "just bantz".

That same Whoicider would never have missed an opportunity to support you (or anybody else, for that matter) against me but never, ever offered you such support in all your ramblings.

Like I said. It's not war, I have nothing to prove. If you feel it is, or I have, that's just another story swilling around only in your head and totally detached from reality.
