Thus the cycle of just being able to project the blame on 'the guys before us' continues.

The Tories did that to Labour previously, and now Labour gets to do it to the Tories now.

Look at the demographic of the general government. The general demographic of the media and wonder why everyone is always complaining about both of them.

Audit the rich, they find all tax loopholes...

[@bakersmileyface]

What a shocker. Who could've seen this coming? This is the greatest plot twist of the millenia!

[@Captain-Cardboard]

Puzzled by this; I thought they had plenty of cash to play with. During the election campaign I was assured the tax burden on the British people was the highest in 70 years.

[@charlescook3209]

It means the tories borrowed alot of money and now the interest on the money owed is so much that we have to find more money to pay said money. Tax the people hoarding assests in the UK.

[@thumpertoon76]

What do you expect from anybody sat in WESTMONSTER taxes will continue to rise in all forms.....

[@carltontweedle5724]

Taxes are on profits not wages. I work my labour is not a profit. The company make money off my work.

[@Boogersncome]

Scandanavian countries may have similar taxes but they also have very strict immigration control and working permits. I.e they are national socialists this is why it works

[@robertlinge3200]

There is £9billion in fiscal headroom ref the independent OBR. You can read it on the OBR website. Where is the money coming from for the 22% doctors pay rise or the other NHS pay rise. £11.6 billion to foreign green projects (?). Where is the money coming from. Basic question ?

The prison situation can be fixed by sending the imigrants in prison home which would be a better punishment in the end anyway

[@IronKilt1314]

Cleaning up the mess they made is so expensive Labor have to increase taxes.

[@old.not.too.grumpy.]

Ofcourse the Times will claim that all multi millionaires are just ordinary working people. We should give them more tax breaks ...... the cost of having a yacht nowadays is just so high.

[@TheUndead1]

look how bad the country will be in 12 months if you think its bad now

[@telenNG]

I knew this was going to happen the moment I heard the wording "We will not raise working people's taxes" Meaning everyone else is fair game

[@Cannon_Fodder_Russians]

GOOD. Tax the rich.

[@soulBain25]

​@@Cannon_Fodder_Russianswhat do you class as rich?

[@ChargingStag]

​@@Cannon_Fodder_Russians Then get ready for the rich to just leave to a more amicable country, taking all that money and potentially jobs with them. Now you're not going to get ANY tax out of anything. You have to think further than the immediate vicinity here.

[@Cannon_Fodder_Russians]

@@ChargingStagThe rich have been using that argument for decades but never go anywhere and where would they go? Europe with higher taxes. North America with even higher taxes. Australia or New Zealand with its own wealth taxes. How about the the middle East, oh wait nobody wants to live there. Life is too good here in the UK. Let them go. We can seize their assets and send them off poor.

[@Cannon_Fodder_Russians]

@@soulBain25 £1.5 /$2 million or above in assets.

[@annbretagne2108]

Pernicious fibs! Capital Gains Tax is NOT a tax on working people.

[@AnaInTh3Sky]

The Times made it almost 3 weeks without campaigning for the Tories

[@eileencox3373]

Now! All the idiots that voted Labour will regret it and will now have 5 years of trying to live with th big mistake they have made. I have lived through a few Labour governments and it’s not good in any way, you will be sorry😫

[@eileencox3373]

Liars!!! I aND my family & friends will NEVER VOTE LABOUR EVER AGAIN

[@ebrahimShakiba-ry1rl]

After all promising of competence now labour so proudly admit they were incompetent and proudly admit they did not know, I hope they know where is 10 Downing street. CLEARLY PUT LIARS.

[@patrikfloding7985]

14 years of incompetence can't be undone in a few weeks.

[@menphues]

Yet people voted for them… I voted a smaller not known independent because labour and tories just cannot be trusted. It’s always those two and never anyone else… what do you expect from those two, yet people vote for them so what can you say… How about they stop giving money to other countries and fix their own issues first. Also people need to wake up and stop voting them and tories.
