yeah, references to lipstick and pigs also

Accountant telling me yesterday he expects her to reduce the VAT threshold from 90k to 30k.

That will go down well if true.

C A S H is KING

Not all pain if she changes the 2 child benefit. Some families will be opening a bottle or two.

Sugar tax ffs

Announced half of it today! minimum wage, living wage, sugar tax, abolishing most jury trials (not strictly a budget issue but it is all about costs) She is flying in the face of all protocol about budgets. None of this was announced at the Despatch Box in the House of Commons as it should be.

Must be a 100/1 shot?

Just calculated that someone on minimum wage working 40 hours per week for 48 weeks (£25824) gets more than twice as much as a Basic State Pensioner for 52 weeks (12500). Both from April 2026. Which puts into perspective just how low the pension still is.

Hope that it is.

A case could be made for raising it. Must be a few  hitting the threshold after 10 months then just working for cash or not at all, Probably 100/1 as well.

It wii create a lot of hassle for a lot of people if she lowers it. Know tomorrow.

It's another nutty res foundation suggestion I believe.

It is scary how useless she is, but she is not alone. A chancellor who doesnt appear to have heard of the Laffer curve. And we aint laffing, just crying

Hard to credit how bad they are

Only socialism can save us

Everyone bemoaning the cost of "Socialism" - but simultaneously hoping that their benefits go up! ........


In other breaking news, on absolutely every channel ...... "There has been a constant stream of speculation about what the chancellor will do in her budget. It's been unprecedented, so much speculation, constant speculation, never ending speculation" ............

"and now over to our economics editor to find out what he thinks might be in the budget"

Are they bemoaning? I have not heard such

Whose benefits? Not workers or businesses that have been burdened with costs upon costs from a chancellor who stated growth was her priority but has done nothing other than put obstacles in the way of it

There are no benefits under socialism, only penalties

Not everyone gets 'benefits'. They just help pay for them.

They implement policies that directly cause inflation to go up, then argue benefits have to go up due to keeping pace with inflation.

I'm glad Rachel from accounts is an economist, how bad would it be if we had a chancellor that wasn't :D

How on earth will raising wages (and pensions) reduce the cost of living for anyone? Almost all of the minimum wage rises will be passed straight on in prices in catering outlets and shops of any sort. 30% of the rise will come straight back to Rachel in income tax and NI of course  which is why she is raising them. The great unknown is how many minimum wage jobs will be lost.

And practically deleting SalSac, allegedly.

Once the penny drops that gov is not your friend, quite the opposite in fact ...

.... it all makes much more sense

An absolute no win . We just have to hope that there is enough of a smokescreen to prevent any sort of a financial meltdown ...otherwise ..
