Yes, the statement is accurate for the UK in 2024-25. Official HMRC data shows income tax receipts at £309.4 billion, while OBR and https://t.co/5iAuG3WcvE figures indicate social security benefits expenditure at around £313 billion, exceeding income tax. This means all income tax revenue covers benefits, with other taxes funding public services.
It's mad how every week there's a new grooming gang that looks exactly like this, but leftoids will look you straight in the eye and say "actually 90% of them are white"
The party that promised openness and transparency has ended up in court for failing to comply with freedom of information rulings.
You couldn't make it up.
Clueless.
Our public services are far too busy accusing themselves of being racist rather than doing their job.
This was the then Conservative Chair of the Dorset and Wiltshire fire service before I was removed from the Home Affairs Select Committee
Pathetic.
It seems the Scottish Parliament's finance committee will have SNP MSPs appointed as convener AND deputy convener. Quite aside from suspicions this will lead to weaker scrutiny of gov than with opposition MSPs heading it, this is a party that can't even manage its own finances
I cannot remember a time in my life when the political class in the UK has been so brazenly hypocritical and so profoundly out of touch with the country.
They are doing enormous damage to public confidence in politics & the system.
They cannot gaslight their way out of this.
I genuinely can't fathom a mindset that watched the Henry Nowak video, and then thought 'let's ignore all that and have a pop at Farage instead'. Utterly disturbing.
Now Slippery Starmer is targeting Elon Musk for interfering in British politics - and the MSM will focus on this distraction.
Were Starmer, Rayner, Khan, Burnham and Mahmood interfering in American politics when they backed the George Floyd BLM riots?
John Swinney spent years telling SNP members their referendum fund was "ring-fenced". Now he admits the £650,000 is gone and was used as part of the SNP's general resources.
So which was it, John? Ring-fenced or spent?
The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!
So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.
If you want to know what sort of man #KeirStarmer is, first note how slow he was to make any public comment about the murder of Henry Nowak. And second, note how quick he was to condemn his political opponents for speaking up about it.
