They are reducing income tax to 19% from 20% so I doubt it. I assume that will be on anything after 50k

Edit - 45% is on earnings of £150k lol so yeah, very helpful to the rich I assume it's a 5% reduction yet the rest of us plebs only get 1%. Anything after 50,200 is taxed at 40%

Utterly shameful isn’t it but I work with people who will just ‘be glad’ of the 1% tax cut. They can’t fucking see they are being fucked over!

That's Simon Clarke, I think - Levelling up/housing/communities minister.Seems to be the one they send out to the media quite often. Didn't much like being grilled on Breakfast this morning when being asked to answer the questions - every answer was "grow the economy and it'll help later", but a large number of people and services need the help now!

There seems to be no interest in moving away from chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (just over the horizon). Possibly in the gaslit uplands.

He's my MP - roundly derided in town - Mr Invisible who does sweet FA for us.

So is his argument now that giving rail workers, public sector workers, doctors and nurses wage rises inflationary but giving the highly paid a massive tax cut not inflationary? How does that circle get squared?

Yeah, the markets think the Govt are morons. They could be onto something.

I wouldn’t advise anyone to look at their pension for a while.

Pound is falling

Deffo spends his downtime on all fours on a dog lead, drinks water from a dog bowl in the corner of Lizz Truss's office . Gimpy kunt

You know I'd like to think that what you've written is just a vicious, rage filled, caricature; but increasingly with this lot I'm finding it hard to rule anything out.

Keir could learn from Reeves, she is a brilliant speaker - has that ability to cut through and destroy which he still lacks in my opinion. He still speaks as if it's a closing statement in court, appealing to common sense and compassion rather than attacking like he is in the school playground and everyone is an idiot. He needs to realise he's not in front of a judge he's in front of morons.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

So no pay rises for any public sector worker ever again, fuck them all.

Well, they should stop whining and go and get themselves a better paid job.
Apparently banking is quite lucrative!

Imports of Bollinger to increase rapidly .... the city slicker cunts.

 

[mosssideblue]

Well at least that’s good for tourists coming in!

Who can purchase VAT free as well

No need, I have a City Xmas jumper with flashing lights and also a bog standard jumper with “This is my Christmas jumper.” On it.

Also a T-shirt with I’m participating, leave me alone, on it, which is especially useful at the in-laws.

A fantastic day for the country and levelling up. They've got my vote at the next GE.

If we donate, do we get to be in the video as part of the choir in the background?

Panic. A lot of the 2019 new intake and quite a few established MP's can see how they are fucking over the country and that they are going to lose very lucrative jobs because of how they have fucked the country. Nothing of what they were elected on will have happened - Red Wall seats will not be better off - there will be little signs of any inward investment - the established seats who wanted rid of the EU because of forriners will see that more forriners than ever are getting visa's and working here, there are no new affordable homes for their kids and if they can go abroad the costs will be astronomical thanks to a crumbling pound so panic will set in and I think that they will look around to try and shoe horn someone in who might have the character to give them a win

A solid list of gripes and conclusions, but for me it still won’t lead to Truss being overthrown before the next GE. After all, they’ve just ousted the only character that could apparently unify them.

This Is a ‘budget’ that plays to the Conservative heartlands, and those MPs in the ‘Red Wall’ will know that their days are numbered. The Conservatives will hope that it will be enough, just, to protect them in their heartlands at the next election.

 

[bluethrunthru]

I know he is a Labour MP but Chris Bryant sits opposite the Govt benches and looks straight at them - the back benchers know how little this does for their constituents - the people they look to for votes at the next election and this doesn't look to be it by them

Don't remember the flashing lights one, I've only got the one with Santa flying over the Eithad which I think makes me a JCL :-(

@Ric can we please change the title of the thread to the Cuntservative party ?

Thanks

Yeah - I got that impression.
Seemed genuine, authoritative and brought my chalk and cheese comment when compared to the tory lot on the other side.
I know little about her however.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Starmer won most of his head to heads with Bozo - problem was the great British electorate didn’t realise he had !!! A judge would have found Bozo guilty - the electorate would however found him innocent.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

How disgusting going back to old tropes like capping tax on coporations and increasing banker bonuses?

The fuck era are we in?
