Ref the budget... Speaker rebukes Chancellor Rachel Reeves over ‘premature disclosure’ of BudgetSir Lindsay Hoyle has accused Chancellor Rachel Reeves of acting with “supreme discourtesy” towards MPs given her “premature disclosure” of Budget details. The Commons Speaker said it was “totally unacceptable to go around the world telling everybody” about “major” new policy announcements rather than giving the information first to MPs. Sir Lindsay also questioned whether MPs would need to bother attending the House to hear Ms Reeves deliver her first Budget on Wednesday, given “we’ll all have heard it” already. www.kentonline.co.uk/news/national/hoyle-rebukes-chancellor-rachel-reeves-over-premature-disclosure-of-budget-131021/Just watched a clip on GB News, and Sir Lindsay Hoyle was absolutely fuming. He is not a happy speaker. Well then he's due a little more kudos than has hitherto been the case. |

I havent heard a lefty blame Thatcher for a couple of days now, surely she's due for another airing... See2, Andrew raise your game chaps... They are both too busy trying to find what law illegal migrants can pay illegal people traffickers to travel to the UK and legally seek Asylum under those grounds.
They have got UNHCR ECHR laws, so far they haven't come up with one law that makes it possible for migrants to pay illegal people traffickers money to take them to a country of their choice and claim Asylum, don't think we'll hear from them for a while and when we do I can guarantee you they haven't found any such law in any convention in the whole wide world.

Indeed. Labour was supposed to be a breath of fresh air but it looks like they are just stale farts . I was going to say Labour are no different, it's a case of 'same old, same old'. But thinking about it, I think this lot are worse than the last lot, I really do. Currently Listening to ex Labour MP Stephen Pound on GB News, he just said that at least two former chancellors were forced to resign for leaking budget info before announcing it to the HoC on budget day. Standards have gone to ratshit. |

Standards have gone to ratshit. Exactly . The Labour opposition played the moral high ground for all it was worth . Now that they are in power they have proved themselves to be just as nasty,grubby and incompetent as anything they called the last government. |

Starmer has top billing on the BBC website promising a budget of tax increases to avoid austerity What planet is this wanker on People rejected austerity. Even the Tories disowned it after a while when they realised it wasn't working. No-one is going to advocate austerity for the foreseeable future, so as the Labour manifesto was to fix public services, tax rises were inevitable. They did box themselves into a corner with the promise not to increase NI, IT or VAT,but I think that other tax rises were on the horizon before the election, even if they didn't want to talk about them (in the same way that the Tories couldn't talk about hmcontinuing to reduce NI, as they'd been told it wasn't affordable). I suspect that we've already gotten most of the "bad news" from this budget already, and what's left to announce on the day will be the "good news". The point I was making is with the shit in number ten bleeding us dry austerity will be the only way. His tax rises will CAUSE it Especially as every penny added to employers NI is a penny AND a half NOT available to boost your pay packet |

Starmer warns that Brits face higher taxes FOREVER and he could raise them AGAIN to prop up the NHS and public services because the Budget must confront 'harsh fiscal reality'........ Starmer today made clear there is no prospect of taxes coming down again after the looming Budget raid. The PM said the idea that governments can 'lower taxes and that your public services will run properly' had been exposed as a 'fiction'. Signalling a shift to a Scandinavian-style higher burden, Sir Keir argued in a speech that the country had voted for 'change'. The comments came as the premier admitted there is 'tough stuff' coming in Chancellor Rachel Reeves' first fiscal package on Wednesday. It is expected to bring in a massive £35billion a year extra for the Treasury - one of the biggest ever Budget tax raids. Strikingly, Sir Keir refused to rule out the government coming back to milk more cash. Instead he appealed for voters to give Labour time to 'rebuild the foundations' despite the brutal assault on their pockets. In one specific announcement, the PM confirmed that the £2 cap on bus fares will rise to £3. There was also a hint that motorists might be spared the pain of at least some of a mooted 7p rise in fuel duty. Critics have dismissed claims from ministers that ordinary 'working people' will not see the impact in payslips, because most of the pain will be initially targeted at businesses and the wealthier. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14011449/Starmer-Brits-face-higher-taxes-NHS-public-services-Budget.html |

Will she be any more believble?
Labour policy “will be fully funded and fully costed - no ifs, no ands, no buts … no additional tax rises.”
Rachel Reeves, 28 May 2024
