Days ago Rachel Reeves was telling Brits about ‘Summer Savings’.
Now energy bills are rising another 13%.
An extra £221 a year for the average household.
This government hasn’t got a grip on the cost of living at all.
Let’s get our word bingo cards ready for Starmer’s 43rd relaunch speech tomorrow. Mine has these:
Toolmaker
Change
Renewal
Fixing the foundations
14 years
£22 billion black hole
Far right
Division
Reform
Farage
Not our war
Brexit
Breakfast clubs
Lifting children out of poverty
The government’s big answer to sky-high fuel prices 🚀
An app that shows one local garage selling petrol at £1.55 a litre… and the other at £1.56 🤦🏼♂️
Truly world-class leadership. What a useless bunch of idiots 🎪
Dear @RachelReevesMP.
Can you explain to me why MP's on £98'599 per year from April, are getting a £3'300 cost of living payment too?
Most "working people" are lucky if they earn £30k, and they have to pay the cost of heating
their homes and pay their own rent and mortgage too.
Fuel £1.75 a litre
Council tax up another £350
Water rates up another £220
Inflation at 3%
Food prices up 12%
@UKLabour putting more money in your pocket apparently
Hands up if you’ve had your council tax bill for the next year and it’s going up! 🙌🏼
Mine wasn’t frozen, it’s gone up.
Labour lied to get into power.
“Labour would freeze your council tax”
“Not a penny more on your council tax”
“No ifs, no buts”
Lies, lies, and more lies.
Can someone tell me what I’m actually paying for?
My latest council tax bill has arrived. £330 a month.
For what?
We still have to pay extra just to have the garden waste collected.
The roads are knackered, the drains are blocked, and every time it rains the streets flood.
The local town is now devoid of shops because business rates and parking charges have made it almost impossible to trade and expensive for people to visit.
So where is the money going?
Councils spend tax revenue on vanity projects like cycle lanes that might see a bike once a decade and disability parking bays that sit empty most of the time.
Meanwhile the services we actually rely on continue to decline.
We are expected to pay more and more for less and less.
And at the same time we all see public money being spent on people who entered this country illegally and have never contributed.
So I’ll ask again.
What exactly are we paying for?
The whole system is broken.
