The Labour Government

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Hope they bring in a moaning tax.

The country would be debt free by next summer.

It'll all end up in the courts once the lawyers start debating when a moan is not a moan!

Inheritance tax ... Its an awful tax that needs abolishing or at least having its threshold raised significantly.

Whereas what is inevitably coming is a huge reduction in the threshold.

Labour are cynical. They figure anyone with an e.g. £750k house is not voting Labour anyway, so may as well clobber those people.

Inheritance tax, this has effectively increased year on year with house inflation anyway. It also mostly affects those that have savings and assets built up after already paying tax. So people end up being taxed twice on the same earnings. Its an awful tax that needs abolishing or at least having its threshold raised significantly.

No it's tax on unearned income. Needs pushing up to persuade people to liquidate their assets before death rather than hanging on to them.

There’ll be a two tier system where some will get lower taxation for griping.

I do think that a lot of the moaners don't understand the WFA entitlement only applies if you were born before 23rd Sept 1958 so as people die off so with the WFA liability - and that had already been done by the last Tory administration.

That's because any one born after that is not a pensioner yet i.e 66. Eligibility for WFA is made on 23 September each year.

You mean the ones you don’t care about until you need them, green eyed monster rears it’s head again.

If you are using metaphors it's better to find ones that make some sense.

On that basis I see there will be substantial tax rebates for a good few on 'ere!

It applied to anyone over state pension age. It wasn't stopped by the Torys.

Born Sept 1958 you'd be 66 in the winter of 2024/2025. State pension age.

What a load of socialist clap trap nonsense. People dont hang on to their assets after death. Do your research!

Your crystal ball is working overtime today. Let's assume there are no tax rises in the pipeline. Which public services are you prepared to do without?

Sell your house before you die? Fucking hell

He looked quite smart in his new suit that Waheed paid for.

What did you think of what boris used to wear and his appearance ?

 

[Phil1]

pmsl.

You do that a lot. I’d invest in nappies if I were you.

You shouldn’t ask such awkward questions. Research some time ago estimated that people wanted a level of public services that would require a tax burden of 60%, but were unwilling to pay more than 40%.

 

[blueinsa]

I’ve enjoyed every single minute of yours and the rest of the gangs enthusiasm and optimism the last few years that’s for sure.

Just need some self awareness now and you will all be fine ;-)

Very tory heavy in here today, lol

 

[BlueAnorak]

Loving Starmer's speech this morning - nearly every point was a bare faced lie.
Basically the so called "Black Hole" is actually a "Red Hole" to fund Labour spending commitments and freeze folk to death who only get the basic state pension pension or a little bit more besides.
How knew Seniside was Labour policy?

I think you'll find all our public services are compulsory. The public servants who operate them and their union representatives (who control the Labour Party) will ensure that is the case.

Which public services would you cut at this stage then?

To reward those who can't be arsed no doubt.

Better get used to it Kaz, when your in government you will get shot at and criticised as that's where the buck stops.
