Budget 2024

[Blue Maverick]

I only ask as I was listening to some sort of ‘Rich Peoples Alliance’ who are saying that they want to be taxed more as they have a responsibility to the country. These are obviously very rich people who were not talking about buying a new shirt, more of a new mansion or jet plane.

It got my interest as I heard all of the talk about people leaving but these people were the complete opposite and realised that they couldn’t take all their money with them, if you know what I mean.

It’ll be interesting to see how many actually leave the country and my biggest bug-bear is for those who have made the majority of their money, in the UK, moving abroad and not wanting to support the country, after years and years of cuts to the social apparatus, that supported them to make that money.

So if all the rich leave who buys their houses? Anyway if they don’t want to pay their share fuck em I don’t want them in this country.

No and i wouldnt need to , she said they are applying the tory plan to benefits and say they can save three billion , i have experienced the assessments for many years , including ATOS , they have put a target number on it , they wont be trying to get people like me into work i cant do , but will try and leave me in a state with less support , will make me anxious to fuck again

They are looking at pips as well , sunak plan was to not pay it monthly but a one off payment , i rely on that to live and increasing care needs, private is the only option and i have no savings left , i am scared

I hear what you are saying and you know more about this than I do. Continuing to penalise people on benefits is unacceptable irrespective of which Govt is doing it.

So at a stroke Starmer and his twatty party has stolen 40 percent of my surplus pension from my heirs by bringing pensions into IHT.

Higher taxes, loads more borrowing, higher inflation, higher interest rates and lower GDP growth.

Sounds like a perfect Labour Budget, and unfortunately it's only the start.

I don't know about any where else, but Petrol stations around here put their prices up by 2/3p on U/L and Diesel. Cashing in before any budget announcement.

The big problem with raising huge amounts of additional taxation is that the Departments of Health and Education (the biggest beneficiaries) have shown themselves spectacularly inept at spending money wisely, whether it's on failed IT infrastructure or buildings not fit for purpose or entering into capital projects with dodgy companies like Carillion. The benefits won't be worth the pain to businesses and the hit to investment.
