GB News is absolutely deranged. This is superb.

@AvonandsomerRob Supply and demand. If you voted for Brexit, then suck it up. No more cheap European labour coming in, so the price will go up.

Of course, you could have looked this up yourself instead of making yourself look foolish. 😂

@UVoltmi @Councillorsuzie Expenses like heating stables or employing your children? Expenses for a second home when your primary residence is less than an hours commute away? Expenses such as customised iPads and AirPods? Those sort of “expenses”?

Exactly as I have been saying!

IMF: Healey should cut welfare spending instead of taxing banks

@dave43law @thisismoney What most of the comments on here are not getting is that banks are already taxed more than other businesses. If you tax them further, the costs will just get passed onto consumers. Also, it will stunt growth even more. Anyone with an ounce of sense will understand this.

@BellaWallerstei Government only cares about wasting more money. Never the second order consequences.

@Kevin_Maguire Labour claimed to inherit a £22bn black hole, so raised taxes in the last 2 budgets. The black hole is now £35bn. Please explain that Mr Good News?

Following @TorstenBell’s petulant rant this morning at industry concerns over possible pension tax raids in the Budget, here’s a handy link to a Resolution Foundation paper from 2019 arguing for a reduction to tax free cash, written by one Torsten Bell

@MatthewStadlen The IMF forecasts repeated tax increases on households and businesses will drive the UK's tax burden higher by the next parliament. Labour's policies have swelled deficits from inherited £87bn to £153bn for 2024/25, with borrowing £260bn higher over five years despite the rises.

🚨NEW: Labour is raising taxes at the fastest pace of any Western country, according to the International Monetary Fund

Raids on households and businesses will push Britain’s tax burden to a peacetime high of 41.9% of GDP by the start of next year

The UK taxpayer has footed the bill due to government mismanagement.

@ZoeJardiniere How is it fair when the losses you make from owning assets aren’t reimbursed by the government?

The welfare state is crushing Britain

Some seven million people—more than 10% of the population—now claim at least one or more sickness or disability benefits.

@PolitlcsUK Labour are run by the unions. This is the result.

[Cut My Tax @CutMyTaxUK]

Yet another billionaire has left Britain. This time it's insurance entrepreneur Sir Peter Wood who has moved his tax residence to Florida in the U.S.

He's saying that he won't be much better off tax-wise but Florida has no state-level income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. So he will be subject to federal taxes, which are much lower than those in the UK and cut in at much higher thresholds.

The British Exchequer will definitely be worse off.
