The Labour Government

So basically no time at all:

Initial waiting period
  • Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA): You may have to wait up to 7 days after applying to start the claim, and up to 2 weeks after that for your first payment.
  • Universal Credit: It can take approximately 5 weeks to receive your first payment. You can also apply for an advance to get money while you wait.
  • Initial contact: After applying for benefits, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will typically contact you within 14 days to invite you to an interview or inform you of your eligibility.
I can only assume you live in an area where there is 100% employment rate and a surplus of jobs available.

No but an area where people are prepared to get off their arses and do a days graft, I’ve been on price work most of my working life

The state doesn’t pay anyone’s wages at our firm part or otherwise, why did we get lumbered with the NI increase, which made sure we didn’t employ anymore people.

So no one in your company receives Universal Credit , Child Tax Credits , Housing Allowance , their kids don't receive free school meals ?..........Amazing
 
I’m either currently in a dream state or experiencing major Deja vu…….did nt the Dr’s strike over pay last year…..?

I’m not a fan of labour or the other lot but I did agree with Wes Streetings comments about the BMA this morning. Some could argue they are merely representing their membership effectively though…
 
Lay the ground for tax rises, including an unprecedented presser on it, only to bottle out of it. They really are useless.

Latest rumour lowering thresholds so you can say you havent raised taxes on 'working people' even though you have. I really hope its really not this daily fuckwittery behind the scenes.

Whatever she does or may do on thresholds, ensuring the state pension on its' own doesn't attract tax should be a priority. Dragging people on just the state pension into tax would be madness. I'd actually like to see the bottom threshold go up to about £15k (breathing space for future pension rises) and the 40% tax maybe frozen or a bit lower.

I'm disappointed generally on tax as they have a great opportunity to make the whole system simpler and fairer.

I would also increase the lower threshold but also rethink the tax rates and bring in more rates 30 and 50 as an example.

They really need to man the fuck up accept the shit they are gonna get for u turning and move on, they have time to show the benefits of these decisions. They have to draw a line where some people will be worse off, its unavoidable.

The best way to fight off taxing the rich is to show how much you are helping the poor, draw the line and stick to it. You cannot improve public services and help the poor without someone taking the hit.

A long winded way of saying ffs grow a pair.
