Labour don’t have a clue how to grow the economy. Everyone is worried about this budget and not spending as a result. How does taxing the living daylights out of everything promote growth. They should be going after large corporations like they always promise but never actually do. Starmer droned on about windfall taxes on energy companies but nothing happened despite many of them making obscene profits. Instead of the £300 a year deduction in energy bills we were supposed to get there is 10% increase and pensioners get their winter fuel allowance cut.

If can't afford pipe tobacco and scotch I'm not going to go to work, why should I 😐

[@kevinwall795]

Is it any better abroad? YES, that's why anyone with any sense is leaving!

[@MarkPayne-k7l]

Is having enough money to move abroad the sole criterion for you for someone having "sense"? Are people who cannot afford to do that in your eyes devoid of "sense"? That is what you seem to be saying.

[@DemagGFES]

I left the UK and yes..... it's better

[@gondorianslayer4250]

they nuts.

When was the last time tax was reduced for working people? Why do we keep paying more and more money for political failures. Feels like serfdom.

[@eddiegallagher2767]

Is this guy😮 an "expert" on the budget???? Does he know "something" the Government doesn't know??

Did you support reform AFTER you seen tice go to 🇺🇦? That cost us 400bn and quadrupled the cost of fuel and grain. Morning Ste 👋

The government realise how easy it is to keep people in smaller areas. As we emerge from Covid the level of control sought by the government is extremely scary.

[@ChristineMurphy-gs2fc]

The NHS need less foreign doctors that are not made speak understandable English before they are employed. They are just employed for the sake of numbers not for helping out the NHS, they can’t speak the language properly and don’t understand the system so basically are a waste of money. Ask for Wes Streeting using the private sector to get down the lists it’s funny his mate who used to be in the government and now owns private medical companies is being let sit in on meetings with regard to this as an advisor. That definitely doesn’t sit well with me. They are all the same.

Its not going to be good !! 😢

How to avoid going into 40% tax? Go down to four days a week. That won't help economic growth.

If it's true labour back benchers are stirring up against reeves, starmer and gobby rayner, lets hope they will topple the three stooges, and get them out, preferrably the whole of the labour government, rise up reform make us proud.

Forget retiring in Spain blimey. Most folks I know are retiring in China. It costs less than a third of costs in the U.K. In most areas there standards are way higher than the U.K. Frankly their railways make the U.K. railways look like junk.

And a cheaper and proven way to capture carbon is to. PLANT MORE TREES

[@MarkPayne-k7l]

In fact there is no need to plant anything. Leave a bit of land alone for five years and it is full of baby trees germinating from seeds in the soil.

[@JamesSmith-qy3eu]

Carbon is the gas of life.

[@MarkPayne-k7l]

@@JamesSmith-qy3eu Indeed it is James, and given that we are carbon-based life-forms and that carbon is the basis of all life on earth, we should celebrate it not denounce it in a deeply ignorant way, in terms of actual science rather than mantra-chanting religion. I quite like also to breathe oxygen and thank my plant friends for providing it. They in turn are most grateful for any carbon dioxide they can get , from whatever source. The global plant biomass has increased by more than 15 per cent this century as a result of rising carbon dioxide levels. Much of that has been in the Sahel, where it is greatly needed. Furthermore, it is ignorant to claim that rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere (at the quite low level in terms of geological time of c.400ppm which we see now) must automatically lead to an increase in global temperature. Quite apart from the longer-term influences of the Milankovich cycle, solar activity, volcanic activity and other factors, such a claim ignores the fact that it is increased temperature that leads to greater levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide which is evaporated from the oceans. Of course, the actual science does not fit the narrative of the scientifically-ignorant politicians who want to frighten us and tax us more and more as that increases their personal power, flatters their psychopathic egos and makes most peoples easier to control. It is no accident that "climate change/global warming" was only latched on to by these useless entities at the 1991 Rio earth summit, just as the Soviet Union had collapsed. They needed another bogeyman to frighten us all with once the cold war had ended. The origin, for instance, of Greenpeace being to campaign for nuclear disarmament - once that problem had shown to be self-liquidating, at least at the time, another cause was needed. A bit like near-brain dead Greta T switching a year ago from the "how dare you" hissy fits to rally to the Palestinian flag instead. But, I digress. Maybe.

My husband has just had a wasted bit of paper, saying he won't be getting the 2:35 WFA and i expect mine soon , on another piece of wasted paper. We are fortunate and dont need it, but can someone ask Reeves and Co, if they will still get their £3500.00 allowance.
