Knowing you I expect your posts to be completely biased, and to add up to complete nonsense. What you fail to understand is that owning ingrained political bias closes you mind to reality, which is why you can't debate, all you can do is to post lies, distortions, and to denigrate. All of which is Dark Rhetoric. You call it ingrained political bias, I call it common sense. Before this budget I (and many other people) said Labour would tax and borrow, and what did Reeves announce? £40 billion in extra taxes lots more borrowing and lots more debt. Predicting that a Labour government will tax and borrow is not political bias, or a particularly brilliant prediction. All you need do is look back to every previous Labour government. Tax and borrow is what Labour governments do. The OBR report not only dismissed Labour's lies of the Tories 'hiding a 22bn blackhole' it also predicted that this budget would result in lower growth and higher inflation...... |

We are still paying off the debt from the last time labour were in...And PFI will never be paid off it just another cross we have to bear...
It means inflation going up, productivity going down, borrowing going up, and interest rates going up..... the country going down the same path as in the 70's, under Harold Wilson.

Indeed, as Thatcher famously said... "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples money". The solution? Raise tax and borrow more. |

I reckon this will cost close to 100k jobs as SMEs shred jobs to cut down the costs of paying NIS.

Another thing a couple of days back a representative for Hairdressing industry said the NIS raise would wipe out the apprentice jobs and most would insist their workers go self-employed.
I think similarly smaller retail ops will limit their hiring.
Labour have said they will bring H2N into Euston yet nothing in the budget specified for this so still not clear.

www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/fresh-nightmare-for-starmer-as-reform-uk-wins-yet-another-by-election-in-labour-heartland/ar-AA1tk47I?ocid=BingNewsSerpSir Keir Starmer faces a fresh blow after Reform UK won a by-election in a Labour heartland. Nigel Farage's party snatched the Bilston North, Wolverhampton, ward from Labour - gaining 34.8% compared to second place Labour's 25.1% and the Greens 23.4%. The Conservatives won just 13.7% of the vote and the Liberal Democrats 2.9%, according to Britain Elects. Reform UK MP Lee Anderson said: "Reform Gain. The political tsunami continues. And more defections incoming. We will get our country back." Zia Yusuf, who chairs the party, said on X: "Another Reform WIN. A huge swing to Reform from Labour, with the Tories falling even further behind. Congratulations Anita Tolgyesi Stanley." Reform's victory in Bilston North comes after the party won an election for Heanor & Loscoe Town Council and secured five parliamentary seats at the election in July.

Hundreds of angry farmers will hold a major demonstration in central London amid rising fury at the Government’s decision to “double down” on an inheritance tax raid on their land.
The National Farmers’ Union outlined plans for a mass rally outside Parliament in Westminster on November 19 after Rachel Reeves revoked farmland’s exemption from death duties.

Mortgage markets have started reacting to budget - with product withdrawals and rate hikes

To be fair, Lord Alli is gay Hmm... I wonder what the revelations above 2TKs private life will turn out to be. He has a super injunction about an affair he had which resulted in a child. It's like the Ryan Giggs super injunction... the press will keep hinting more and more until the secret is too obvious to deny... at that stage the media will argue the story is already in the public domain and the injunction will be lifted. |

Mortgage markets have started reacting to budget - with product withdrawals and rate hikes I mentioned elswhere that the OBR said that as a result of the budget, interest rates will be higher for longer. These are the first steps of an economic downturn. Thanks to this inexperienced socialist government we are approaching the edge of an economic precipice, I hope Labour voters are pleased with themselves. Dickheads. |
