The Budget 2021

[Vic]

Rushi trashing Thatcherite policy (and a mantra for some of the Bluemoon Tory boys) that lower taxes increase tax receipts.

The familiar claim that Labour governments always leave higher debt levels will be dead too.

They should be targeting the businesses who have been taking full advantage and making billions extra on the back of this crisis.

All those companies Tory MPs bought shares in?

More chance of Burnley winning the PL this season.

I am resigned to at least 2 decades of Tory misrule, that would take me well past the age i expect to croak to it. So I will never see my dreams realised.

There’s tortoises being born today in the Galapagos that won’t live long enough to see your dreams realised.

Just checking in to see if increasing Corporation Tax is now regarded by the Tory pro business posters as the right and proper thing to do, having spent years trashing it as a policy :)

Raising trade barriers, State intervention in Industry, raising Corporation Tax, it‘s the Tony Benn dream from the 1970’s.

Even the poor tortoises will come to hate the Tories one day, that is they don't already because they have been the victims of capitalism, their homes violated, their habitat ruined, sold off into slavery and reduced to the roole of amusements for the idle rich.

Any mention in the budget of the social care crisis that they've been promising to fix since 2010?

The richest MP in parliament declares class war on the peasants.

Whilst the income tax threshold for higher rate tax has gone up slightly the threshold where you start to lose child benefit hasn’t.
This means from April some basic rate tax payers will start to lose child benefit.
