Adam Brooks: The majority of British pubs...
The majority of British pubs will not fall into the Chancellors Business rate reduction. For me, this was a move to get headlines that they’re trying to save pubs. Extra wage increase will be the final nail in the coffin for many struggling. THEY ARE KILLING PUBS 🍺David Kurten: The minimum wage should be REDUCED...
The minimum wage should be REDUCED. Unsustainable minimum wage increases mean: Small businesses will fire staff or go bankrupt. Large corporations will replace humans with AI. Labour is a disaster for working people. #BurnhamOut #LabourOutDaniel Lacalle: What a disaster...
What a disaster. UK consumer sentiment plunged in October as soaring fuel prices brought home the scale of the cost-of-living hit from the Middle East conflictAndrew Bridgen: As expected Inflation inevitably...
As expected Inflation inevitably jumps following the massive increases in fuel costs. This trend will continue and may well push the UK economy as well as many others across Europe into a recession by January. Unless a solution is found quickly to the energy crisis it will be a long hard Winter for many. The long established ‘Epstein class’ plan to create worldwide energy scarcity and a follow on food shortage is well on track to deliver in 2027.Customers, Not Banks, Will Pay for Higher Taxes
In its first budget, the new government has targeted the banking sector and prepared another tax increase for it. The public has reacted negatively to this way of plugging holes in public finances.Adam Brooks: Your Treasury takes TEN times...
Right… @andyburnham Your Treasury takes TEN times the amount I get in profit on a single pint. Is that fair ?? Our VAT is double what many European countries are set at. Our Beer duty is 13 times that of Germany’s. Our Business rates disproportionately high. Also… NIC
Andrew Bridgen: Will this be the end...
Will this be the end of the family business ? Governments are in thrall to the big corporates and they always call the shots, set the regulations and the taxes that prevent SME’s competing with those who control the markets and the politicians.Foreign Students Will Leave British Taxpayers to Foot the Bill
Nearly 44,000 EU graduates of British universities refused to repay their student loans last year. In effect, their debts will be passed on to taxpayers, sparking widespread public outrage.The British economy is losing its foundation
Diesel prices have broken the all-time record and exceeded £2 per litre. The public is warning of an approaching crisis and is outraged by the government’s inaction.Labour’s Economic Vandalism Is Destroying Industry
Chemical giant Ineos is suspending operations at three chemical plants in East Yorkshire because of high gas prices. The company’s owner criticised Labour’s energy policy and received strong support from social media users.Craig Murray: I hope that people can join...
I hope that people can join these dots. 1) Diesel is now so expensive organised gangs steal it. 2) It is so expensive because of the illegal bombing of Iran - inc being conducted directly from USAF Fairford.David Kurten: Diesel price at record high...
Diesel price at record high. This is a direct result of climate alarmists pushing net zero and war pigs pushing war. The uni-party needs to be gone.Ben Judah: The governments is a in a punishing...
The governments is a in a punishing position on cost of living. It both needs to do as much as it can to show its trying to address the problem but recognise trying to run off this at the next election or use it to generate political support is a fools errand in as energy prices rise — something over which we have little control.Aaron Bastani: The Liberal Democrats want...
The Liberal Democrats want a tax free personal allowance of £15,000. Stupid, unserious policy. We need to expand the tax base, not shrink it. In which case: expect it to become very popular, and adopted by all the major parties and the media class.
Triple Blow to Households
Electricity bills could rise by 25% from January, costing a typical household more than £2,000 a year. Economists’ alarming forecasts have sparked a strong public reaction.Andrew Bridgen: The Government never stop threatening...
The Government never stop threatening you with fines and taking ever more control over every aspect of your life. Especially how you might heat your home this Winter.Jackie Walker: I get the questions around...
I get the questions around the triple lock but British pensions are appallingly bad and we should be focusing on rebalancing the whole tax system starting with the billionairesAdam Brooks: Energy prices for homes are capped…
Energy prices for homes are capped… they are not for businesses. This winter is going to wipe out so many. There’s talk of 10-11p pkwh That’s going to double bills those that have contracts expiring soon… Unsustainable for many.Lee Hurst: What could cut the energy...
What could cut the energy bills even further for the long term unemployed would be if they left their homes during the day and got a job.Adam Brooks: 100000 people in Britain...
100000 people in Britain get benefits for ADHD… That is the reason our benefits system will collapse under the strain. This is not what the benefits system was designed for. If we removed this madness, then the genuinely needy would rightfully get MORE. I speak as the father of a ADHD child.Patrick Christys: Kemi Badenoch is absolutely...
Kemi Badenoch is absolutely spot on here - nobody has a human right to live in a really nice area at the expense of other taxpayers who cannot afford to live in those nice areas.Andrew Bridgen: Shoppers face year of food...
Shoppers face year of food price pain Everything playing out as the ‘Epstein class elites’ planned for us. Food prices up , energy prices up and our Government will put taxes up too.
Alex Wickham: Exclusive: UK-specific investor concerns...
Exclusive: UK-specific investor concerns about Andy Burnham and John Healey’s fiscal plans are amplifying the impact of the global bond selloff on gilts, according to analysis by Bloomberg @economics Our economists say that while some of the recent hit to gilts is attributable to global moves likely due to expectations of Fed tightening, and much is due to the impacts of the Iran war on inflation, the UK situation is being made worse by rising risk perception likely due to anxiety over the coming budget It means UK borrowing costs are rising relative to peers because investors remain unconvinced by Burnham and Healey’s plans, according to their analysis In other words, rising UK borrowing costs can’t just be blamed on the global selloffLee Hurst: Britain spends £177 billion...
Britain spends £177 billion on welfare (this excludes those on the state pension). The take home pay for someone on minimum wage is £20,800 per year. If we divide the £177 Bn by the minimum wage it comes to 8,509,615 people. Eight and a half million people getting an average of £20,800 without leaving their sofas and doing nothing. Someone justify this to me and tell me this is morally acceptable. Obvs many people will be getting far more than £20,800 and some much less, but the point remains. Explain to a person on minimum wage why they should turn up for work and take home less money than 8.5 million other idle people after deducting travel expenses.Not a Business Rescue, but a Political Manoeuvre
The Prime Minister announced tax cuts aimed at saving High Streets. However, representatives of business and the public have criticised these plans and accused the head of government of populism.A Finance Minister Without Principles
Former Defence Secretary John Healey changed his position on funding military spending after taking charge of the Treasury. Social media users say that yet another Labour politician has put his career ahead of the interests of ordinary citizens.Andrew Bridgen: Burnham urged to tax wealthy...
Burnham urged to tax wealthy pensioners to bail out Britain ! It’s always just one more tax rise for the Government. It’s like putting the taps on in the bath with the plug out. Burnham will claim he is taxing us to prosperityThe debts of today’s politicians will be paid by our children
The government reported an unexpected budget deficit in July, despite an increase in tax revenues. The consequences for ordinary citizens are being actively discussed on social media.Adam Brooks: The mansion tax starts...
The mansion tax starts on houses over 2 million pounds in 2028… it will without doubt be lowered over time. Next £1.5 million, then a million, then £500k and lastly it just becomes a house tax. Thats Labour 🥀Read more
