  1. I love how the Sunaks of Britain are all fuming. Tax on their lifestyles, tax on their ridiculous class-perpetuating schools, even tax on their jets 🙂🙂🙂 About time.
    And their client media are all whipping up the proles against Labour’s reforms.
    Can’t you lot see how you’re being played??

  2. We just finished 14 years of austerity which gave the biggest ever increase in national debt even if you only look at 2019 to remove the effects of covid. How can they slash all of our services and increase the debt by a greater percentage than the last Labour government did while spending?

  3. Effing idiot – you CANNOT control debt by borrowing MORE. Those proles who still have a death-pledge (mortgage, the clue's in the name – we've paid off both of ours years ago) try asking your lefty bank manager for another half-mill to help your debt crisis on top of your existing death-pledge (mort (death) and gage (pledge) – literally aMORTisation…funny how folk fall for that and take on such debt) – see what they say!?!?!

  4. Funny because the OBR has stated that growth will be reduced to 0% in the next couple of years, and here she is saying they she’s going to hit their goals… 🤷‍♂️ who’d have thought costs to business running expenses would be passed onto the paying customers. Inheritance tax on people that are asset rich but cash poor will mean people have to sell assists that will involve liquidating businesses especially the smaller ones or it forces them to get large loans from banks often following the death of their loved ones. What kind of goals are these.

  5. so to paraphrase your love in – it is an interesting budget but it doesn't address the fundamental underlying economic conditions. It certainly doesn't address the need to cut back government spending – in fact quite the opposite. And it adds significantly to the misery of those businesses that have managed to survive the tory years of botched big state. Which in practice means continued growth in the cost of housing stock, and significant issues for those of us who rely on share prices and returns – such as pensioners outside of the gold plated public sector. What you might call OOOPS!

  6. Liebor always expensively fail to succeed they demotivate or defund those that can actually make it happen the private sector so they invariably waste till there is nothing left of other citizens money left to waste
