These are the consequences of Tory rule, they left the place in shit state.

Just this, I didn’t vote Labour but will judge them in 4 years from now, not now while they are still clearing out the shit the tories left. Won’t be taking any whining from any tories either on Labour and this budget.

Mostly investments and US bonds mate.

Is that like the bail bonds on Dog The Bounty Hunter?

Good to see pensions will be included in inheritance tax calculations. Shame they're freezing the threshold till 2030 though.

That's because she thinks she's a celebrity's not a toss me off newsreader.

Will you stop with the sexist stuff today please

 

[Kompany Car]

So in other words they have fucked up?

I don’t confess to be an expert on international business. If you’re a large business, owned by say a US company and could deliver UK projects using resources in the developing world then of course you would use cheaper resources as it potentially increases margins. Particularly for the lower skilled tasks that would normally be filled by people at the lower end of the wage spectrum and don’t need to interface with clients.

That’s how large businesses maximise shareholder returns and at present the offshoring of non sensitive government contracts don’t generally have terms to limit them doing it.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

It’s all lies it’s going into there pockets like it did with the hooray Henry’s

 

[hilts]

Nobody likes tax rises but we have to pay for services so on the face of it, I’ve no real issues in todays budget so long as it’s delivered and we see improvements

Agreed, impossible to agree with all.of a budget. Delivering is not a strength of any government. Fingers crossed.

 

[N1985]

They'll just employ part timers on less than the threshold to pay it if presume

Or just put our prices up to cover it

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Seems I’m in the minority on here, but as expected it’s fucked me over with the non-dom changes. Until we can move abroad that’ll be a 30k a year tax bill from next year. Absolutely shit.

Do you want me to book you an uber to the airport?
