Exactly, will they fuck, for every extra house someone owns they should double the tax like they’ve done in Wales, and fir every subsequent one it should double again, watch those houses come back on the market.
All my own work thank you .It's almost an AI answer or even some sort of manifesto.
Seems I may have misunderstood your position thought you were saying population was currently reducing.Yes. Slightly confused given I agree that the projection is a decline in world population at the turn of the century based on fertility rates. Am I missing something?
I haven't had time to read it all yet. Patience dear boy!All my own work thank you .
Ffs you complain that all people do is criticise this government and don't offer any alternatives, and when they do ..
Rents going up
Energy bills going up
Grocery bills going up
Entertainment prices going up.
How does anyone on the minimum wage manage to have any money once they have covered their expenses?
But yeah, let's get wound up about dem foreigners coming here sleeping with our food and eating our women!
Whilst we fight amongst ourselves those cunts spouting hate and misinformation are getting richer. Aided by their media pals feeding us a diet of bullshit.
We've discussed this already. It goes up every year, even under the Tories it went up EVERY year. LW in April, MW in October. It's nowhere near what it should be though (£17 an hour) and is only just over £12.Minimum wage has gone up.

Labour promised a huge increased and have failed to deliver.
Yes, by not allowing businesses to hoard the profits and instead invest that money back into their workforce. Because when people have money to spend, they will inevitably spend it on certain non-essential comforts. That spending by the public boosts the economy, which boosts investment, which results in more profits, which rises wages, which causes the public to spend more.‘Much of the surge in inflation has been caused by the big increase in the minimum wage, which has made it more expensive to hire staff.
That has resulted in many firms passing on the costs in the form of higher prices – or in other cases cutting back the workforce ‘’
So on that basis and with current inflation figures- we should be increasing the minimum wage much more ?
I'm not sure any party would be able to go near much of this. It's a list of stuff that will be almost universally unpalatable across the electorate as well as the political establishment for many reasons.I am glad you agree savings must be made.
I am not yet at state pension age but I have also suggested changes to the pension to my own detriment. For me personally, I am not looking to any political party to make me personally any better off, I accept that given the state of the nation's finances that is not going to happen. My view is that we must all take a hit.

Quite interesting watching Labour supporters having to come to terms with a Labour government cutting welfare spending and grappling with the unintended consequences of minimum wage increases.I can only imagine you're not on minimum wage fella, you sounded a tad Tory there if I may be so bold.

Their rhetoric when Conservatives were talking about the need to address these issues was that we were nasty, evil, fascists who had zero empathy for the plight of the less well off.
Not true, never has been true, we want many of the same things, just have different ideas about how we get there. Would be nice if we could return to the good old days when political disagreements weren't so toxic.
I think the major issue with the Tories doing it, was that at the same time as they were looking for cuts in welfare, they were doing nothing at the other end regarding taxation.Quite interesting watching Labour supporters having to come to terms with a Labour government cutting welfare spending and grappling with the unintended consequences of minimum wage increases.

The conservative answer to getting more money into the hands of the less well off is to raise the threshold at which they start paying tax, as per the Reform policy at the last election (£20,000).I think the major issue with the Tories doing it, was that at the same time as they were looking for cuts in welfare, they were doing nothing at the other end regarding taxation.
A close friend had a very good DB pension that was then transferred into a SIPP due to ill health. He was well above the old life time allowance. At the stroke of a pen, the removal of the LTA made him effectively £750000 better off as he was no longer subject to a re-assessment at 75. Great news for him.
Is that the conservatives who froze thresholds until 2026?The conservative answer to getting more money into the hands of the less well off is to raise the threshold at which they start paying tax, as per the Reform policy at the last election (£20,000).
The cost is offset by the fact that if you give the less well off more money they tend to spend it if they can, which, if you multiply the effect by millions of individuals having more money to spend, is a massive driver for economic growth which in turn increases tax revenue. It also doesn't force businesses to put up prices or lay off staff.
Your first sentence should have a capital c, mine quite deliberately had a small c ;).Is that the conservatives who froze thresholds until 2026?
As we are right now, no Labour extension has taken effect as the freeze has been extended till 2028. IIRC, the cost is £80bn to move to £20k tax and NI free. It should be a long-term aspiration though as it makes no sense to tax Minimum wage for example.
"C"(untservatives).Your first sentence should have a capital c, mine quite deliberately had a small c ;).
Any movement of the tax threshold would have to be accompanied by serious and real cuts to government spending or the bond markets would freak out. We are unfortunately in a situation where any tax cuts must be paid for by cuts elsewhere, despite the fact that some tax cuts are a positive for the economy. In a bit of a bind aren't we?
Back to your usual moronic comments I see, after a very brief respite.Just tax the fucking rich
Can’t take their homes with them though. How many millions, Ferraris etc do you need? Also tax those twats Amazon etcBack to your usual moronic comments I see, after a very brief respite.
(a) What do you classify as "the rich"?
(b) Are they not paying any taxes already?
(c) And yes @Blue Maverick the very rich will just fuck off because, guess what they choose where they want to live and probably have homes in London AND god knows where else.
(d) And if IfIwasonly.... means tax "the not very rich", like people on say £100k per year or £200k per year, then they are paying plenty already. The marginal rate of tax of 47% (45% plus NI) is already a huge disincentive for people to work harder and earn bigger bonuses. If you start taking more than half off them, they they move abroad, not work so hard or retire early rather than keep being fleeced for ever more money. We are already beyond peak Laffer.
If Reeves wants to raise serious money without trashing the economy, the sensible thing to do would be to raise the basic rate of income tax by perhaps 5p and raise the personal allowance to protect those earning the least.
