@FUDdaily Inflation is everywhere and always caused by the government.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

Uncontested, undemocratic, under-qualified, unwelcome.

ANDY BURNHAM

From 24,927 votes in Makerfield to be crowned Prime Minister for 70 million people.

No questions have been answered by him.

No debates have been held.

He had been engineered entirely within the Labour Party.

GENERAL ELECTION NOW 🇬🇧

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

No one voted for this.

🚨 BREAKING: THE £38 BILLION LABOUR TAX RAID HAS JUST LEAKED.

Good morning to the millions of everyday, hardworking Brits waking up this Monday morning to an absolute financial slaughter.

Andy Burnham is preparing to launch a massive, unprecedented £38 billion tax raid the second he takes the keys to Number 10 this Friday. 🤡

This brings Labour's total tax grab to a staggering £104 billion every single year when combined with Rachel Reeves's previous business raids.

Reform UK has just exposed his planned torrent of new taxes that were completely hidden from the manifesto.

He is preparing to slap a 10% death tax on family homes, align capital gains tax with income tax, and hit landlords with National Insurance to drive up your rents.

He is even lowering the mansion tax threshold to just £1.5 million to drag ordinary middle-class homeowners into higher rates.

They are treating the British public like a bottomless ATM to fund their out-of-control, socialist spending spree.

If Burnham has the audacity to impose £38 billion of brand-new, undemocratic taxes on your family, he has absolutely zero mandate to govern.

We do not want a backroom coronation. We want a vote.

RT if you demand an immediate General Election to stop this robbery and take our country back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

[Burnside @BurnsideWasTosh]

Thank God: I was feeling tremendously undertaxed for all the State services I enjoy.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

Where does this idea come from that everyone in London is a billionaire? Taxing wealth is a short step to communism. People work hard, stretch to buy and support families in our major city.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

Andy Burnham's backed a land value tax for 16 years. This Sunday we'll be publishing an analysis of how an LVT would work in practice.

Plus a model that lets you design an LVT and answer the key questions: Who'd win? Who'd lose? And the big question: can it be done at all?

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

@ANMalikSmith This is because they are too stupid to understand wealth disappears when you tax it and everyone becomes poorer.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

The problem IS the government.
It is not wealthy people or the private sector. Sorry to break this to all the bleeding heart lefties.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

Never has UK government spent (or taxed) more. Yet

- Newly-released prisoners sleep rough
- Special-needs school provision is tanking
- Defence is decaying

Austerity is back - driven by out-of-control spending (welfare, HS2, SEND etc)

@_billyreid How to lose the luvvies. Good on you Harry.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

@MelJStride If you are a single income household, running a family household in London or the SE, not relying on state help, this government hates you.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

@Keir_Starmer Failed defence plan. Failed prime minister.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

This is such a pathetic reflection of how suicidal empathy is destroying the UK

[Victoria @vickygrayson_]

“How shocking that the Foreign Office is giving money to African private schools while the Gov taxes British schools, resulting in dozens of them closing, thousands of jobs being destroyed, & tens of thousands of British children’s education being harmed.”

@laidmanr She is a hideous class warrior destroying the heritage of the UK

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

Kemi nails it.

[Ana Boulter @anaboultertv]

Well thank the Lord it’s now all coming to the surface. Better late than never. She IS bad at the job .

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

@FinanceTiger Clearly AI should replace half of them anyway.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

@BenGrahamUK Well said… we need a LOT LESS of the government knows best in the UK.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

Measured. Accurate. I wonder what that nasty dim class warrior Bridget has to say?

Why would anyone believe Labour’s idiotic targets. Based on platitudes and economic fantasy simply because THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS.

[Tom Harwood @tomhfh]

This is the construction PMI. Over 50 means growth, under 50 means contraction.

What an inflection point the 2024 election turned out to be.

Since then, the construction PMI has been in persistent contraction. Housing has collapsed and civil engineering has plummeted.

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

@aDissentient maybe someone should tell Ed too?

[edward b @fasteddiehk]

@ToryFibs Prepare for accelerated socialist redistribution. Why should people even bother to try under these communists?
