I'm a pensioner and get nothing but increased taxation Cutting NI instead of thresholds just makes me angry, my son is on low pay because of a 14 year squeeze on wages and firms recruiting from timbuktwo to keep wages low. The number of civil servants has to be higher because of Brexit, you need more border staff etc. Arghhhhhh Your not fixing sewage in the rivers potholes from defunding councils housing crisis energy crisis or RAAC crisis

  9. Nearly all our supply chains for small and medium companies run through the EU. My wife's company gets parts from Vietnam but they come through Germany. They don't become German parts until Thier integrated into product and exported back to Germany. Our supply chain is completely f'd Also Our goods by volume has fallen by 7% since 2019 a figure unprecedented in UK history.

  17. There's an official OBR government report on this Quote The OBR concludes: the debt impact of future volatility in gas prices is at 13% of the UK gross domestic product (GDP) to 2050. This dwarfs the debt impact of 6% of GDP for investing in net zero. Second, it investigates the potential of new, growing energy solutions to cushion price volatility Quote With the energy price cap below £1,300 throughout 2021, UK households spent around £30 billion on energy during the year. In 2023 the projected spend is around £170 billion. This is equivalent to more than doubling the basic rate of income tax from 20% to 45% or almost doubling VAT from 20% to 38%. Just over 6% of GDP Dogger bank OffShore wind produces as much as Hinkley C Dogger Bank costs 9 Billion to build Hinkley C build Costs 33 Billion 3 years late and has subsidies over 35 years of 30 Billion

  20. Farage is far right he has zero centre in him he's a populist and Libertarian be afraid of this man quote Kwasi Kwarteng made the right decision in swiftly cutting taxes, Nigel Farage said, dealing a blow to global economic institutions which have warned against the economic policy. The former Brexit Party leader praised Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng for cutting taxes and moving ahead with the policy despite warnings from world economic organisations. Since Friday's mini-budget, representatives from Bank of America, the IMF and JP Morgan among others have sounded alarm bells, saying the economic plan is sparking market chaos. The pound sterling fell to an all-time low this week, with investors worried the plan will hurt Britain's finances.

  24. The simple fact is renewable energy became the cheapest source of energy on the grid back in 2019 The government are currently giving billions in subsidies to the fossil fuel industry for cleanup of legacy installations and exploration of new Any Government proposing a Green agenda will not only win but will reduce energy costs across the board within a very short time in office. It takes 1-2 years to build a wind farm it takes 7/8 to build a nuclear reactor and 1-4 to build a tidal system.

  25. The benefits of membership of the single market are vast Cost of membership 14 billion received back 5 billion pa Additional Cost of Brexit to businesses still able to trade with the EU 27 Billion pa Cost of lost trade with the EU 44 billion Cost to the City of loosing the Euro derivative market alone is 2.3 trillion There are multiple cost savings through joint programs which are too numerous to list but go look up how much its cost the UK to peruse an alternative to Galileo so far

  27. Our Vaccine rollout is median not leading, the best rollout was Portugal and they used the EU purchasing scheme to pay a fraction of what our government forked out on vaccine doses. They also were part of the EU PPE purchasing scheme which we were invited to which supplied high quality PPE again at a fraction of the cost the Cons and their VIP lane paid

  35. In 2010 debt was 800 billion its now 2.63 trillion, BOE rates are 5.25% and gilts have been index linked to RPI, debt repayment last year was 130 billion with government annual borrowing at 120 billion. Yet by magic Sunak spent 20 billion on a tax cut 72 billion on fuel support instead of instigating a windfall tax

  45.  @WordAte  They have settled down. The issue is the supply chain went from overnight to next month if your Lucky so In my small prosperous norther town the hotels can't get staff The local craft gin distillery had it's exports to the EU wiped out overnight and my friends son who was full time in a Show band saw their summer work disappear overnight and has had to go back part time. I'm well connected but this is happening all over the country outside of London, the main economic figures are masked by the service sector it will take decades for the regions to recover it's as bad as the Thatcher deindustrialisation

  48.  @JohnnyRingo-c5v  if you want lower migration you can't have lower taxes the 2 are mutually exclusive. To lower migration you need to pay public sector workers appropriate wages to attract more of the domestic workforce and invest more in training infrastructure and the NHS

  49. I'm a pensioner, we own our home again prime Tory demographic but my son will never prosper in a Conservative economy he's got 4 A levels 2 diploma's and 4 years experience and is on +40p above minimum wage.

  50. Its worse than that GDP per Capita was $50,000 in 2010 its now $45,000 If you tax working people then give it as in the Millionaire pension tax break of 2 billion it goes from the working economy GDP etc. to get locked in the Asset economy and we tax work not Assets It Therefore shrinks GDP per capita Your then left with a black hole that get's filled by borrowing
