Budget 2024

[Kompany Car]

As always the devil is in the detail but superficially it was much better than I expected, under difficult circumstance.

Small business have been suitably protected from the NI raise. The only thing that concerns me is the impact on recruitment and jobs where employers have the opportunity to offshore work. Raising the minimum wage will inevitably have a knock on effect along with increase NI for medium/large businesses.
Some additional protections around maximum percentages of offshoring of work particularly on government funded contracts is needed.

Recession on the horizon, borrowing too much and Companies will hold back on investment and employment.

Just what a Financial Advisor friend of mine has told me, plus the new Workers Charter championed by Rayner will also impact.

Did any of you find it strange that there was no mention of illegal immigrant's in the budget?

Have they waved their hands of the problem already?

You are Richard Tice and I claim my £5 sir.

I've never seen him so passionate so it must be hurting him personally.

I'm happy to see the lazy rich bastads squeezed.

At a glance, it looks like a decent budget all things considered.

I think it's a pretty decent budget too. It's just the lazy arses sat on their investments that are pissed off.

I was going to mention this too, already rife in telecoms and might encourage even more of it sadly. Should be something in place to stop it!

It's not, I'd rather listen to a Financial Advisor of almost 40 years over you. I'm not a Tory, nor do I listen to Talk channels or News Channels.

Do you sell sandwiches on trains or something like that?

Anyone on here know how the markets are reacting? Treasury prices?

Think you have two choices when you need to reduce debt , spend less or raise your income (taxes). Labour always go for the latter. I would love to know how much is paid in any kind of benefits to people who weren't born here. I don't care what anyone says to the contrary but the benefits available contributes massively to the number of immigrants both legal and illegal and as a country we can't afford it. Tax the rich who can afford it for sure but give it to the pensioners who've contributed taxes for 40 odd years and deserve a decent standard of living without worrying if they can afford to keep warm and eat.
