The Labour Government

The all the same brigade certainly are vocal.

It’s all the same because everything is shit and has been ever since they were a lad; therefore let’s just be cynical about everything, moan like fuck and whack a little cynical joke at the end with a smiley face.

Guess that’s why governments don’t go after pensioners. They moan like fuck.

More chattering teeth than moaning

Every economics editor seems to be sure it's Capital Gains, Inheritance Tax, and possibly pension relied for higher earners.

only until you retire then we can all be bummed on your behalf via the housing benefit you will be. I wonder if we all get a small *age of bumming or do we have to take our turn? Is it weekly or monthly?
 
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.

So basically the really old who feel the cold more and its a benefit that reduces the govt outlay over time anyhow.

So it was an even worse decision by Ray Reeves. Thanks for that:-)

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.
 
Amongst the 20-minute monologue of soundbites, was the snippet "short term pain for long term gain".

Shame none of the pre-vetted journalist's questions were "so can you confirm you'll subsequently be reversing any of the proposed tax hikes"?

It's pretty clear that what two-tier Keir really means is "Long term pain for long term gain".
