To be honest I think you’re a little potty if you expect young girls in office to be paid the same as blokes grafting their balls off outside in all weathers finanancing the company. I suspect you’ve spent your working life on the states payroll.

I’m not sure the blokes on your site have thought this through thoroughly mate.

Did she say categorically she was increasing income tax in the press conference?

They do this thing all the time,have a leak to the press or hint at it and then sit back and gauge the reaction from both the public and there own party, it was no coincidence that almost at the same time there was talk about lifting the child benefit cap and WASPI.

A hint, which has been perceived as a statement

...or I'm someone who knows that courts have ruled that staff in female-dominated roles have historically been underpaid in relation to those in male-dominated positions.

Ok we’re just in the real world where the monies earned to fund it all.

Why did she hint at it if she wasnt thinking about doing it.?
She was just testing the water.
Aside from that I think she should raise income tax if it means getting out of this mess.
We still have another 3 budgets with this gov which we will have the same argument every year .

So....

What will be used to make up for the Income tax u turn?

A substantial tax on profiteering?

1% tax on any houses sold over £1,000,000?

A new wealth tax created to make the rich pay their fair share?

The treasury telling health/transport and other public services to cut wages/pay rises/support services?

Logan's run style TV show to save on pensions payouts?

Be interesting to see what the chancellor has in mind. Bound to be something that won't affect her donors.

  • The people who could afford to pay more tax know how to avoid paying it and will continue to do so.
  • The people who milk the system know how to do it and will continue doing it.
  • Your ordinary working man who is paid through the PAYE system will be the one to bear the brunt.

To make the country better she needs money from somewhere. We can speculate where that might come from but I see no point in getting all hot and bothered, as some have, until she reveals the budget.
 
Fucking brilliant! The media tell everybody that they are going to see income tax hikes, whipping those up who care to listen, and when they get wind of it not happening, whip people up for not doing so.

It’s never ending.

Are you saying Reeves had no intention of raising income taxes?

Only thing I’d say with that is it isn’t really about whether people get emotive about it or not, it’s the impact it has on the markets.

It looks like the economic data, especially around productivity is better than expected and so there is no need. However, a U turn is usually based on the government making a formal announcement. No such announcement has taken place and as usual the press are all about headlines rather than facts. Personally, now the hares are running, she'd be better raising them now and giving herself some breathing space for the next couple of years.

I don’t think she can raise income taxes and stay in position.

I didn’t mention U turns though mate. Merely asked if @The Future’s Blue! was saying this was all a media storm and Reeves had no intention of raising income taxes, and perhaps will ask if you are saying the same thing??
