A young man or woman making their way in life, out of university, with a reasonable job is getting taxed SO much - particularly including the student loan repayments. 9% of their income over a fairly low threshold. 9%! All to just feed the interest...
NI, income tax, student loan, council tax, VAT? Dividend and corporation tax, if they feel brave enough to start their own business. Ridiculous transport costs, especially on the trains into London. Madness.
Stamp duty, if they can get a deposit together... That's a big enough challenge in itself. Renting is brutal. Just burning money, paying someone else's mortgage off.
Meanwhile - wages stagnate, rents climb, and inflation eats what little disposable income they have left.
It's a scam. A total scam.
Britain punishes the people who do everything right. Study hard, work hard, pay their way. While rewarding a system that squanders their money and gives nothing back. Is it surprise so many are simply leaving Britain?
The welfare bill is suffocating productive Britain.
Why should young working Brits fund families who can't be bothered to work? All whilst they feel financially unprepared to have children themselves?
Let's ban foreigners from benefits, reinstate the two child cap, scrap interest on student loans, and eviscerate the welfare bill in order to slash tax for working Brits.

@IsabelOakeshott The GE date is just before the euro quarters, England will still be in the tournament, national spirits will be at an all time high, so will the FTSE. People out on the streets enjoying the long summer evenings. Positive employment data. Plays right into the little fellas hands
@jeremycorbyn If you end arms supply to Israel, the Jewish people will be wiped out in the middle east. Iran will walk through, take the holy land and create a Shia caliphate. Regional war will then break out between Sunnis and Shias. Shias will win and start their advancement west.
@VivekGRamaswamy This just proves that Vivek is in it for power, not for his principles. Trump will make him his VP, embarrass him and destroy his career like he did his last VP.
Dear Palestinians
For more than 120 years, you’ve been trying to get rid of the Jews in the Middle East. To borrow a phrase from Dr. Phil:
“How’s that working out for you?”
Let’s consider the answer.
