Budget 2024

[ganganvince]

What are your hopes/expectations? Strongly rumoured to be favouring NI cut rather than tax which is unfortunate for the NI exempt pensioners.

 

[urban genie]

I expect short term popular measures to try and win votes
Nothing that will improve the country or create growth or confindence.
Those that should be taxded will be ignored.
The energy companies that are ripping us off will be allowed to carry on

I think they know they can't implement any vote winners so will just find a way of making them and their pals benefit for the next 6 months.

There will be a smokescreen of "popular measures" to cover it up.

AI is being promised as the magic bullet to cut down waiting lists and get rid of thousands of civil servants.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I expect fuck all, they’re absolute cunts!

 

[hilts]

He should increase personal allowances and make up the difference with higher income tax and newer bands.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Tax on vapes to distract from giving his buddies another wad of our money before they fuck off in May.

This!

 

[mosssideblue]

It will be to make it as difficult for Labour as possible

Hope: Complete reform of the tax bands from top to bottom - which currently make zero sense. Landmark investments into infrastructure and public services.

Expectation: 0.5% off NI - probably worth something like £10 a month to the average earner - but messaged like the Tory's have just accomplished a feat akin to solving world hunger. Real-terms cuts to public services inaccurately communicated as "record spending".

You know... the shame shit we've had for 14 years.

 

[TinFoilHat]

**** leaking to his favourite client journalists there will be a cut in NI contributions.

That's the NHS fucked.

I'll go for a 1.5% cut.

 

[mosssideblue]

I'll go for a 1.5% cut.

That'l help the pensioners

 

[mosssideblue]

Cut taxes funded by squeezing local Councils and then let Labour manage the fall out - BASTARDS

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not much point in reading the budget out in Parliament. Seems this government do it all via social media.

Their cut in NI has taken their polls even lower so clearly repeating the does will lift them ......... they are all fucking crack heads

I do hope the 20 odd MPs predicted will happen come the GE.
