  1. It would make a nice change if they had a clue about economics. Freezing thresholds especially at 20% takes money out of the working economy at the bottom If you spend it on millionaire pensioner taxbreaks and IHT nearly all of it gets transfered to asset values your deliberately shrinking the economy

There's a whole load of ripple effects going back to 2016 1st the currency devalued by 30% 2nd Investment in UK Plc fell like stone also many international companies started relocating headquarters into the EU The figures I've seen are the economy is 10% smaller than it would have been if we voted yes in 2016 in real terms that's around 250 billion the 100 billion is just Brexit shock as our economy and trading shrinks By the way that 100 billion would generate 33 billion in tax the 250 billion 82 billion in tax and people wonder why taxes are so high

  14. Any gas extracted isn't ours it belongs to private companies and is sold on the open market. Apart from permanently scarring the landscape fracking requires 100's of millions of gallons of water which it turns into a toxic goop and each well lasts 2/3 years before you move to the next one

  21. He didn't have to he could have put a meaningful windfall tax on the expected 170 billion in EXCESS energy profits and used that he didn't because ideology and war profits are somehow OK in a Tory mindset

  28. It was 1,25 million and 1/2"were dependents As for growth Brexit has been choking our economy since we left the EU 60% of an economic recovery is by small businesses who have basically had a market of 440 million 20 miles away cut off, small businesses don't have the resources to cope with Brexits endless red tape and bureaucracy

  30.  @ancietman  since 2016 our economic decline due to the Brexit vote and subsequent policies is around 1 trillion in GDP That includes projected investment actual losses currency devaluation reduced trade and reduced output Since we left the EU the GDP of the EU has expanded by more than our GDP removal for the total (3.13 trillion USD) Germany since 2016 to now earn 25-30% more in average wages Whichever way you cut it Brexit has been a complete economic disaster which just keeps screwing our economy harder and harder

  38. ​@PeteH0121 40% of people on benefit are in work, and we spent 20 billion on housing support last year as we spiral ever closer to a low wage underclass living in poverty conditions having to be subsidesd by the state. There isn't enough affordable housing and wages are too low most of this the result of Austerity and a lack of investment

  39. If your occupying a country by force then bad things happen This goes back to basically England invading Ireland and being its ruler for centuries partition was a mess. There are 3 power blocks in the world and we aren't one of them anymore get used to it

  42. A more managed economy and tighter worker regulation will reduce legal migration. Legal migration is a feature not a bug of Con economic policy

  43. The reason they can't take heat pumps is 2 fold there not insulated to any standard at all and they don't have the electrical capacity if your heating a leaky building you need 3 phase Aside from that he's 4 years out of date fracking isn't economically viable and renewables achieved parity with gas back in 2019 + EV's reached parity with ICE this year and that's before economies of scale kick in. Our housing stock is the worst insulated in Europe and he's not even offering A+ insulation standards fkin joke of a party like the Tories
    3
  44. Common sense is you go with the cheapest energy source which is renewable Watering down insulation building targets is fkin stupid they should have been upped over a decade ago

  45. we pulled out of the European security groups because Brexit Jesus said so. We will re-enter various European security and cooperation groups under Labour just like we've had to do with Horizon and Galileo @Deeps__

  47. If the Cons pass this bill it will tank the markets so badly and consign the party to the dustbin of history the Liz Truss minibuses will look like a trail run

  48. The lie about Starmer was started and promoted by Patriotic Alternative (PA) is a British far-right white nationalist group which states that it has active branches nationwide. Throw gasoline on that fire and it was almost guaranteed to blow up the fact that it has done so so quickly shows how corrupted and toxic the Tory alliance with UKIP and BNP voters to get Brexit done has become.

  49. Johnson was a clown you can put a clown in a Palace he doesn't become a king the Palace becomes a circus

  50. You've got to laugh Suella's antics knocked another 2 points of the Tories in the Polls last week dragging them down to 23% boosting Labour by 3 points to 47% she encouraged far right Yobo's to congregate and 6 policemen were injured in the melee and she represents millions? Who are they the ones that down 14 pints then go around the street with a lit flair up their ars3
