@gtsmale Completely disagree. UK is one of the few countries where people ship their parents off into a home. In Poland they live in with their children
If reports are accurate, a new 1.8% levy on earnings above £6,240 for workers over 34 isn’t “new funding”.
It’s income tax with a different label.
Britain doesn’t have a revenue problem. It has a spending problem.
Every time government runs out of other people’s money, the answer is the same:
Tax more.
Spend more.
Promise more.
The result? Less incentive to work, invest and build.
More people dependent on the state.
Slower growth.
Lower productivity.
You don’t create prosperity by making work more expensive.
You create it by letting people keep more of what they earn.
Changing the name doesn’t change the reality.
Even I am very hesitant on employing anyone in my new company due to taxes. I am adopting Ai at a deep level instead. Of course I will be employing some people, but not as many as I would be otherwise, in fact about 10% of what I would be.
Open your wallets gentlemen. The time has come once again to pay for everything but yourself, while getting the worst possible value for money at the same time.
So if the government is now taxing us to pay for social care, council will no longer be required to pay from it from council taxes and they'll go down.
Right?
Anyone on around £50k loses £793 a year.
A senior nurse. A police sergeant. An experienced teacher.
The Prime Minister has mentioned the cost of living repeatedly, so higher tax shouldn't be the approach.

@Trailer_Swift69@CarlLaverick If its a loan its not the tax payer paying is it? Theyre asking for better rates on their loan which is perfectly reasonable
@ThinkLicence@StephenJAdams@CarlLaverick Yes and then borrow again to give the same people benefits because they have no disposable income thanks to student loans plus other debt fueled services. Thanks for playing
FFS you clown: the UK is exposed to higher gas prices BECAUSE it has made itself dependent on wind and solar. Our neighbours like Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark likewise.
So we are forced to buy gas when it is the most expensive because our neighbours are doing the same.
You geniuses put us into this position.
