Yea unemployment benifits are supposed to be temporary did you also miss im against the proposed increase because state pension is not means tested meaning the top 1% wealthest will be in receate of state pension . Also them that have private pension are in receate of state pensions. In my opinion has early retied tax payer I think its a wast of billions of public spending money . Do you think that people with private pensions should receive smaller state pensions? Ffs.. What could possibly go wrong? …ffs again |

But why would anyone vote Tory now? - they are to all intents and purposes New Labour. So is Labour. And we call ourselves a democracy. Where is the democratic choice? We had a democractic choice to vote of the conservatives in 2019 we dont have to state what a disater that was fir corbyn labour |

I think there are several posters on here who receive both a private and government pension and for you to think those who paid into a private scheme should do that so their government pension should be used to finance those who didn't take out a private pension is the product of a sick mind. It supposes that those with a private pension can afford to give away their government pension, that their years of contributions were paid for others to reap the benefits. That is absolute bollux. |

My wife is a doctor, and many of her colleagues have left the NHS, nothing to do with tax, but because of the mounting pressures, the workload, the worsening terms and conditions, and been asked do more for either the same money or less.
Many younger consultants, doctors, anethsatists, registrars and nurses have left for Australia, New Zealand and the United States, others have gone into private health care, and a lot have switched from full time to part time, whilst others have taken early retirement.
Many ordinary people have no idea what its like to work as a hospital doctor
If my wife has a weekend of been on-call, the on-call period begins at 5pm Friday - the same time as she finishes her normal shift.
The on-call period is 64 hours long, both daytime and night, and regardless of how much of the night she has been up, she is expected to commence her normal shift as soon as the on-call period finishes at 9am Monday.
In most private sector jobs, a worker who has been on call, and has worked during the night, would be allowed so many compensation hours Monday morning, to allow proper rest - this does not happen in the NHS.
The real terms cut to wages, combined with much worse terms and conditions are the reason why staff are leaving.
If the Tory government wants to make the crumbling NHS crumble faster, then impose another pay freeze or further impose worsening terms and conditions.

A real conservative would have cut the bloated public spending budget rather than raise taxes. Bloated in your imagination only. The public sector has already been cut to the bone after a decade of austerity. If only - public spending is as 40 year highs..  |

It is hard to see exactly what cuts to funding the Government can carry out, the NHS is broke, Police got chopped by Mrs May and she is to blame for the current state of it, the problems we face are partly due to Sunak hosing money about during the furlough and Boris Johnson not bothering to follow what was going on.
The Tories have wrecked the economy and now we are going to have to pay for it.
Suggest they scrap HS2 on Thursday, reduce the civil service by 50% on Friday, get the head of the Border Force in next week for a reaming and stop blowing money on foreign aid.

The issue with Doctors is that tax rules on their pensions mean it is not worth them working once they reach the lifetime limit. Absolutely nothing to do with the top rate of tax. Your welcome. |

Yea the Gpd for publc spending around 43% where the Average is 40% if you take into account inflation its lower and not has much has new labour spent in real term including inflation between 2005/2009 |

Victor - you complain about not being able to get a GP appointment for 2 weeks. Well the shortage of GP's is mainly down to the excessive amount of tax they have to pay - and now you are arguing for higher taxes..... You cannot tax your way to success.. Another problem is that a lot of GPs are women. The are inclined to work part time and get broody, so even when you have the numbers, you don't get the girlie hours. |
