Says it all about Not So Cleverly and his party of self serving bastards.
Just think about that - if you are on @£15k pa you save a whopping £45 pa - less than a quid a week - if you get a rise or a new job @£18k pa because he hasn't lifted the amount at which you start paying type 2 NI fiscal drag means you will pay £111 pa contribs - over £2 per week. And he wants us all to pat him on the back for that? They are so far out of touch its untrue.
If you ask me this fires the starting gun on the GE race - bit of smoke and mirrors to come in next April and rush to an election in March hoping to convince the great unwashed they are about to be made rich beyond their wildest dreams ( then post election say oh no we have hit some headwinds again so most of that ain't gonna happen )
Question: - is NI taken out before income tax or on the same amount? In other words, if you earn £15k do you pay income tax and NI on the same amount. (Taking into account tax threshold of course)
Attack on the sick and disabled it is then , cunts
I might just top myself and be done with it
So you're still going to vote Reform?How wonderfully condescending.
Is 6.7% an attack though? That’s on top of 10.1% isn’t it? I do appreciate costs are through the roof and that’s largely staying still at best rather than being better off. Or are you referring to something else they’ve announced?
To me it looks like there going after the people who claim ESA and are in the work focus group. Basically forcing them into work after 18 months. I'm in the support group so will be interesting to see if they come for me too.They're trying to force over half a million disabled people back into work or face sanctions.

Its difficult maintaining sanity sometimes.Everything is so bloody depressing at the moment.
Was speaking to 23 year old woman yesterday when I was at work. She has a 3 year old son and is 20 weeks pregnant.
She is waiting for rehousing because her ex partner is violent, and knows where she lives. She has been classed as priority by the social housing association she is with but weeks later nothing is happening.
Told her to approach her MP.
"What's that?" she asked
"Member of Parliament"
"What's that?"
They're trying to force over half a million disabled people back into work or face sanctions.
To be honest it was the "disconnect" that got to me.Its difficult maintaining sanity sometimes.
The people who need real help struggling to get it because the safety net has been cut to ribbons.
I know what you're saying but deflation, with the exception of energy costs, is on the whole a very bad thing. As prices fall margins become zero or negative which leads to job losses and the cycle continues as supply corrects to meet demand. That is the slippery slope to a depression with mass unemployment.The rate of inflation is reducing, but inflation is not deflating…
Just dumped into adulthood/society with no one there to advise or support them.To be honest it was the "disconnect" that got to me.
Even as a kid I understood politics and how things worked, yet this 23 year old seemingly didn't have a clue! :-(
I wasn’t advocating deflation. Whilst it would be very welcome for a fair few in the short term, you‘re right about its outcome,I know what you're saying but deflation, with the exception of a energy costs, is on the whole a very bad thing. As prices fall margins become zero or negative which leads to job losses and the cycle continues as supply corrects to meet demand. That is the slippery slope to a depression with mass unemployment.
What you describe as "inflation reducing" is known as disinflation.

I can understand why people feel mentally shot about it all.
