The Labour Government

Talking about dim residents. I overheard a conversation where a bloke was moaning his recent pay rise had taken him into the 40% bracket. He was saying how much worse off he would be. He genuinely thought that he would now be paying 40% on the whole of his income rather than just the bit over £50250. Thick/stupid/naive or what?

I remember thinking that many years ago. In my defence, I think I was 17 years old at the time and I wasn't au fait with income tax as I'd not even started paying it!

His use of snippets of speeches was both desperate and misleading, and his delivery was especially poor. Stammering, uncertain and unconvincing.

The suggestion that the collapse of the case rested solely on the decisions of a middling civil servant is frankly ludicrous and his story changes everyday. Meetings that were initially denied are now admitted to have occurred and the timescale around what he claims to have known and when will change as well. Just like it did in the Mandelson affair in fact.

Why he expects anyone to believe a word he says at this stage is a bit of a mystery, but the stooges on here will doubtless lap it up.

Not really. Starmer being confident in releasing full disclosure and seeing Badenoughs face tells me what I need to know.

I only really watch PMQs these days to watch Badenough make a complete tit of herself, and she never disappoints.

Must be killing the Tory boys to know that they were a catastrophe in Government and now, even worse in opposition.

Will take years, probably decades for them to recover.

You're right. Tesco, one of the biggest companies moaning about the rise in NI, have taken the opportunity to raise prices to cover the NI increase, but at the same time increasing their profit margin. So much for not wanting to pass on the costs imposed on them by government.

Waitrose seem to be experts at having a deal on products for a week or so and then when they come off sale they are at a higher price than pre-sale.

The supermarkets have also doubled profit margins on petrol and diesel since 2022. Non-supermarket retailers have done similar but not by quite as much.

So when of the RW criticisers on here moan about the government this, the government that( Yes you Big Joe) maybe try having a look at the real cause of much of the inflation.

The causes of their price increases are irrelevant- it still creates inflation.

Now if you think it’s a big collusion by the supermarkets with no fundamental rationale for said price increases across the various supermarkets then time to write to our local MPs and ask government to step in because that would be illegal.

Try having a listen to LBC where they played all of what Badenoch said on the matter.

But as we all know BKB
