Kemi to Reeves: “Let me explain to the Chancellor woman to woman, people aren’t complaining because she’s female - it’s because she’s incompetent”. Ouch
A single parent with three kids currently gets £20,978 in benefits. Without the two-child cap, it would jump to £24,491 well above what a full-time minimum wage worker takes home - £21,807 (@thetimes). Why work at all if benefits pay more?
I was recently in Dubai & it shows what a scam the U.K. tax system has become Dubai: 5% VAT, 9% corporation tax, NO income tax U.K: 20% VAT, 25% corporation tax, 40%+ income tax, 15% N.I Dubai: Booming economy, clean, safe, thriving U.K. Failing economy, record crime levels, broken public services
In the U.K. tax is the penalty you pay for being productive In Dubai you are REWARDED & encouraged to be productive
Why?
@PeterKLamb I've seen Labour MPs post some proper nonsense, but this is right up there.
Labour isn't giving ANYONE a pay rise. Businesses fund salaries, not your incompetent Government.
You should retract this Peter.
Fair play to the French. If that was in the UK, the cathedral would still be covered in tarpaulin, we’d be on the 3rd parliamentary inquiry leader after resignations, the budget would have increased by 100% and the architect would have been accused of sexual harrassment. #NotreDame
🚨 Reeve’s Budget: A Disaster for Hospitality & Tourism🚨
The recent budget changes by Reeve are nothing short of terrifying for our industry, threatening to dismantle the very fabric of British hospitality, tourism.
For the average small, high-street business with 15 employees, this budget will mean an extra £30k in annual costs – a crushing blow for independent venues already operating on razor-thin margins.
For larger operators or multi-site venues, the impact will be even more severe, risking closures and seeing job losses across the sector. This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about people, culture, and the communities we serve.
From local pubs and family-run hotels to iconic high-street cafes, Reeve’s budget could devastate the places that make our destinations unique.
We urge policymakers to support our sector and preserve the vibrant hospitality and tourism industry that is vital to our economy and our communities.
#Hospitality #MustAct
Starmer and Reeves tried to defend their £40 billion tax hike as "essential".
I can help.
Don't send £11 billion to Africa.
Don't spend £13 billion on other "Foreign Aid".
Don't waste £22 billion on "carbon capture".
Don't give Zelensky £3 billion.
£49 billion saved.
No one is surprised that Labour lied again about this, are they?
There never was a “22 billion pound black hole” - it was yet another falsehood by this deceitful and woeful government
Inheritance tax has got to be the most retarded of all taxes. You have to pay the government money for the privilege of inheriting something that's already yours, and has already been taxed before it even got to you. Why?
This will be the generation that takes the NHS from the worst crisis in its history to being the pride of our nation once more.
Yesterday’s Budget marks a huge step towards that – setting us on the path to make our public services fit for the future.
