If I pay more but things start looking better I’ll be happy, what I’m not happy about it paying my current amount and see an absolute shitshow unfolding in front of my eyes.

Now stop with the scaremongering. It’s truly pathetic and shows how you’ve no positives to point to from the last 14 years.

Tax should be something everyone is happy to pay but that's not currently happening, I have zero issues paying tax and would gladly contribute more to help those who need support and provide a safety net, I abore paying taxes to increase the wealth of the already wealthy and provide tax relief to those who really can afford to pay it.
 
We're in a capitalist money grabbing system, no morals, no scruples, there's money to be made. There's plenty of other's where we came from. Ship them in, breed them, utilise them, make loads of money, anyone who thinks differently is naive. No altruism here.

Not invited thousands from a known "hot" country to come in and watch a football match
Listened to European Countries warning us to what's coming and acting on it (not ignored it)
Not discharge the elderly to care homes to free up bed spaces without first checking for Covid infection
Not had Wanksock anywhere near making decisions,
Not thrown fucking parties in no 10

need I go on?

Ignoring the incompetence for a minute, there came a point in the COVID crisis where a significant number of people in government turned away from focusing on it being an era defining public health crisis and started to view it as an opportunity for enrichment for their networks.

Anyone still thinking of voting Conservative might want to think about that for a moment before they make their mark today.

I wouldn’t consider myself Labour or Tory but do think any government runs out of ideas after say 10 years.

About 20years I was chatting with one of the older regulars in my local, he said he has always voted for the opposition, that way they can't be control for long enough to do too much damage

Marginal tax rates are higher than at any time in decades because of sneaky disguised tax increases such as freezing the personal allowances for years (fiscal drag is the correct term, I believe), equivalent currently to a 3p rise in the basic rate of income tax.

I'm not even a Labour voter but the Tories have wrecked this country and deserve to be absolutely hammered at the polls. Just vote for whichever party is best placed to unseat your local Tory MP.

Jesus wept, even the Tory party heirachy realise that they aren't fit to govern anymore. Every country had to deal with COVID, they dealt with it badly. The Tories forced the Brexit referendum, so that's on them, and countries like Germany have been fucked over much more by their reliance on russian gas. Our energy companies just made massive fucking profits, and should been hit with much tougher windfall taxes.

Why do you think gas prices went up? Is it because we suddenly started needing to replace Russian sourced gas and refined products due to sanctions on account of them invading Ukraine. So when Germany et al are running around trying to buy non-Russian origin products what do you think happens to the prices of said non-Russian origin products? The energy companies didn’t dictate those prices although it did increase their profits for sure.

Now I’m an advocate of free markets and where the UK (and others) went wrong was providing support for peoples energy bills at this time - can’t afford it? Use less. Simple supply and demand, this benefits everyone.

As a footnote. During covid same energy companies lost over £20bn I don’t recall seeing any collection buckets to support them then.
 
I hope the Conservatives take the mauling they deserve.

Whatever your political persuasion their conduct has been appalling and the British public have to stand up for ourselves and give them a kicking and show we do not accept the constant lies and their incompetence.

Whether you are to the left or right, as people you shouldn't accept it when politicians are allowed to re-invent words or give false information to try and convince you of their policies. "New" no longer means what it used to. It now also means "old". The media need to improve as well, there's no issue over impartiality when challenging terminology that is a clear lie. They shouldn't be reporting policies that are lies. They should be telling them for what they actually are.

We need a government that is formed by people who have our best interests at heart. You can't please everyone, but there is a standard to adhere to and that's gone completely down the toilet under this government. Partying whilst people were dying or having to stay away from loved ones. Those are the people who have been running this country. Now it's time to kick them out and party ourselves.
