It's a shame Claude Littner is a conservative :LOL:

My guess is uncle starmer knew this all along, :rolleyes:

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Textbook Guido there. They seem to ignore where she worked before for HBOS for some reason I can’t possibly fathom, so let’s help out. From 2000 to 2006 she worked at the Bank of England. Her roles were working in the International Economic Analysis Division (2000-2002) as Second Secretary in the Economics Division at the British Embassy in Washington (2002-2003) and the Structural Analysis Division (2004-2006)

How comes you geniuses have figured this out and yet there's no mention of it on SkyNews, or similar?

It was all over the media at the weekend.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Was it a storm in a teacup? I'm generally aware of breaking news. I've only become aware of this on here in this thread :confused:

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

just google [rachael reeves cv ] and be amazed

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

I did. I failed to find SkyNews. Yournews. Everyonesnews. Except my news so it felt a little storm in a tea cup like.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Yes I saw some results. I'm just questioning it's severity because not everyone is following up on the news that never broke the internet.

Much ado about nothing seems to have been the over arching reaction.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

she's incharge of the nations finances,people have a right to react.

any hoo if the government need staples or A4 paper ordering she's your girl

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Who's reacting?

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

You are.
If its so insignificant to you, move on.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

And people also have the right to think “a politician who lies…who’d have thought it?”

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

How many years does it take people to learn all politicians lie :erm it just depends on how much it hurts you :D if it's important or not. Ie Boris and his parties, don't care, Reed and what she did before entering politics, is for me it's more concerning :mad:

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Spot on, all politicians do lie. I mean if someone doesn’t care that Boris lied about “all guidance was followed” regarding lockdown while the likes of us couldn’t even attend funerals of loved ones, fair enough. If someone doesn’t care that Boris lied about there being no parties in Downing Street during restrictions, fair enough. If someone doesn’t care that Boris lied about not being told directly about Chris Pincher, fair enough. If someone doesn’t care that he lied about the NHS getting £350m a week from Brexit, fair enough. If someone doesn’t care that he lied about there being no cross-border checks after Brexit, fair enough. All whilst he was Prime Minister.

But no, let’s just focus on what the current Chancellor said about what happened before she was in office (all the while overlooking Boris’ shining record of lying before he was PM).

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

All i can think about is that song from Frozen

let it go let it go

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Yeah for certain people who lost loved ones during those times, it’s not that easy to “let it go”.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

A song in which someone is showing the first signs of getting drunk on power, and eventually comes close to destroying everything.

Appropriate.

:zzz:

You dont like Boris, I think we worked that one out years ago. :sleep:

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Damn right I don’t, you’ll ban me on the spot if I said what I really think of him on here. Because of him I couldn’t attend a funeral while he and his mates were enjoying parties together. I also can’t stand the hypocrisy of people keeping silent about his lies but pulling up other Parties up whenever they screw up. If people want to have double standard then fine, just be honest about it.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

I don't care anymore, he was removed from office and he hasn't been in office for two years. He has no bearing on the future

She is in office and what she does, and says does, have a bearing on the future.

Boris may still have a big part to play in your life, but I would wager most of the country has moved on.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

The rest of the country is free to think what they like, I’m not trying to speak for them.

What she says and does may or may not have a bearing on the future, the point I’m making is I don’t recall the same noises from the same people when the last government was lying from day to day.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

A relative who worked in the meat trade most of his life told me that, whilst beef-on-the-hoof prices have been fairly stable for a while now, extra costs are being added at every stage of production, at a level that has never been seen before.

Transporters, abattoirs, cutters and distributors have all increases prices for their work, and that has meant a big spike in the price of beef at wholesalers, and the final prices at shops are at record levels.

Labour's NI hikes for employers are going to ramp all this up even higher, meaning "hard working people" are going to bear the brunt, as expected.

We all know that these price increases will appear in all forms of commerce, from products to services, and costs will be passed down to the final buyers.

you're telling me, Fillet Steak at the pub used to be around £25, £32 presently.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

What Boris did or did not do had NO effect on me, so I don't care. In the end if didn't effect you, why would you?. Her knowledge, work experience etc, does effect her decisions so will effect me.:cool:

Don't think labour has grasped this.and definitely Richard hasn't :D

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

If each stage in a chain has their costs increased by NI, then those links add up. Eg 0.2% increase in costs in one stage, might not look too bad, but after 5 of those stages you get a 1% increase by the last stage

Depends on weight dry or wet aged etc

For a 7oz dry aged ex dairy fillet iirc last time I had one I paid about £36 not including sauces and sides

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

So a proven liar who lied before he took power and continued to lie while PM didn't bother you at all, yet someone who doesn't actually have the power to change anything (all Chancellor decisions need to be signed off by the PM) says one thing and that worries you more?

I mean, if you just admitted you have double standards when it comes to political parties, that would be something.

Reeves has already said Labour won't put up any taxes for the remainder of this term. That's something to set your yardstick by. If she goes back on that then yes, you'll be heading in the right direction.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Too much.

I’ve had to downgrade to Rib Eye / Rump, which is ok, if cooked right with sauce …still good.

Jesus………..

I think we’ve heard it….all before………many times……….we get it………….you don’t like Boris…………or double standards………WE KNOW….

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

And, of course, it's not just the increases of employer NI behind it.

Do not forget that whilst households have had a bit of insulation from rising power prices, most of industry has not. And then there is the government edict that employers increase their wages to at least The Minimum Wage. And fuel costs.

It all "trickles down" to consumers in the end, to make them poorer, not richer.

But at least HMG profits from it all by higher VAT, NI and Income Tax receipts. :rolleyes:

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Rump I’m not such a fan of but a decent rib eye done right is a cracking steak as is plank

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Except the actions of Boris and his elk brought about the downfall of the last government which has resulted in something you feel does effect you. Cause and effect, ironic isn't it.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Boris had an elk?

Is this another scandal we’ve yet to hear about?

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

Do you or anyone else what her qualifications really are. Seems to me that she is making a lot of changes to taxes, that do businesses no favours at the end of the day it them and only them will create the wealth needed. Of cause All parties have double standards

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

We know she worked in customer complaints,and the party is getting plenty of them

Re: Here comes the tax rises
 

It’s not the Parties I’m talking about with double standards.

It’s their fans.

My standard is simple support , my family ,my dogs and one neighbour. Sod any thing else . Fed up with supporting lazy, stupid and illegals.just of clarity, have given a 5 figure amount to good causes or even directly. They are how ever my choice , not the government's :D
