👇 To everyone who says Reform cannot govern, why are we the only party that delivered the lowest council tax increase in the UK this year at 3.94%?
Councils can focus on cutting waste instead of maximising the tax to spend more on insufficient Net Zero and "diversity" schemes.
Taking value from your vanity as you age is a losing battle.
Your looks are a depreciating asset.
Your mind is an appreciating asset.
Invest your self-worth wisely.
The UK State Pension: £12,500/year for a lifetime of work
An illegal migrant: £41,000/year to the taxpayer
We are spending over THREE TIMES more on unvetted arrivals than on the seniors who built this country 🇬🇧
UBS, one of the biggest banks in the world, just published the numbers.
The average British adult lost 23% of everything they own in five years.
Twenty eight thousand pounds each. More than a year's wages for most. Gone.
Worst of 37 countries. Behind Turkey. Behind Kazakhstan.
And here is how they did it without you noticing.
They printed more money, so the pounds you already had bought less. No letter. No warning. Just your shopping creeping up and your wages never quite stretching.
You felt it. You just couldn't name it.
Meanwhile the ones closest to the printer got richer than ever.
Their money went into assets. Yours went into surviving.
That is why the gap keeps widening.
You didn't fail. You were robbed. Slowly. Quietly. On purpose.
Hold what they can't print.
What an unusual coup. You do a deal with a local MP where you get his job with the prospect he can then work for you, causing £5m in by elections. You then topple the Prime Minister, and decide - before you're even in charge - to move the country's seat of power to... your own back yard in a *£1 billion* campus you and two of your friends have 'been working' on 'for a long time'. And the friends you worked on that with? One of them was deputy to the guy you just toppled, with the full inside track, and the other you're currently trying to help into your old job.
Yes, Burnham really is this stupid.
To avoid breaking Labour’s manifesto pledge on income tax, VAT and NI, he thinks he’s found a clever workaround! whack more tax on warehouses.
Except warehouses are part of the supply chain.
So the cost gets passed on through goods, deliveries, storage, fulfilment and distribution.
Meaning this isn’t really a tax on “big business”.
It’s a tax on the public, increasing the cost of living! … he just hopes you won’t notice.
I'm getting bored of being governed by successive venal narcissistic dribblers. People who think it is better to index benefits than tax allowances, that undocumented young men are more deserving of State spending than our armed forces. Who think the greatest crime is to notice that different cultures have different values and all fall some way short of the English. That there is an optimal number of bats, which we have exceeded and they dont need fucking tunnels.
Want a brand new home worth £250,000 but can’t afford it?
Simply break into Britain and you get to live in one for free.
Remember, this is what the Tories and Labour did to you.
Devolution is calamitous, as the SNP have shown.
It creates satellite governments who have no incentive to do their jobs properly, as they can blame Westminster and shake it down for money.
It encourages corruption as there is less oversight and more cronyism when government is dispersed.
It contributes to national disharmony as devolved parliaments fight back against central government and politicians use their "difference" as a rallying call to voters.
You'd think politicians would know this by now after the calamity of Tony Blair's devolution, until you realise that politicians benefit and profit from disaster, corruption and disharmony.
