Higher taxes that most people will pay? Or spending cuts that most people will feel?
That's it. Pick one.
If your answer is "government waste" or "tax the rich", then you're part of the problem.
The strategy of taxing "other people" has run out of road.
UK tax has gone up significantly over the last 25 years
But the tax paid by the average UK worker has not
This apparent miracle was achieved by taxing “other people”: higher earners, capital, property, banks, etc
The strategy has run out of road
A 🧵 on what happens next.
@davidy1982@henrywinter Mark my words. You don’t take that sort of player unless you’re going to play him. He makes close to zero mistakes despite looking ungainly and carries a threat at set pieces
@ReissOmari@ichoosemag It’s an extremely challenging location as evidenced by previous businesses that have been there, and the economic (tax/regulation) environment has got significantly worse. I wish them the best of luck
@WoodinRivers People aren’t stupid. They already know that Starmer tried to rein in welfare but the party (infantile fantasists) defeated him for the very reason
They are no longer the Labour Party, they are the Welfare Party. It doesn’t matter who is in charge of these people, the party for Benefits Street will tax us all into poverty to pay for more welfare.
Pat McFadden has said in private what he and the Prime Minister deny in public. As I’ve said repeatedly, Labour MPs don’t understand where money comes from. They think our taxes are their money to spend, rather than the result of the hard work of the people in our country who deserve so much better.
The Conservative party is the only party holding Labour to account, as Reform, Lib Dems the SNP and others join Labour in demanding the state pay more and more benefits.
@WoodinRivers I want to )and do) work hard because it delivers me better outcomes in life. But it’s true that the CAZ only affected the less well off. Independent Trades people are properly screwed over. Absolutely ridiculous exercise that penalised the working class
Hamas terrorists are firing mortars from tents in civilian clothing.
When Israel kills them, Hamas claims they were just innocent civilians.
It was all propaganda from the beginning.
Do you know just how bad the current state of British planning is?
£800,000,000 is being spent on Heathrow’s planning for the runway.
Not the runway. The PLANNING.
We have become a country ran by the lawyers, for the lawyers.
Is this really “efficient spending?”
