Like I say this time last year, or any year, if that was Sunak or any other leading Tory, you’d have Mr K on here saying the same thing, backed up by the usual suspects.

You think Labour are bad, everything they do is bad. We get it. That's not especially interesting or insightful.

It's just weird reasoning to do this because you're still angry that people slagged off the Tories. It's good to criticise the Government, I don't know why you spent so long of a different opinion.

It’s not because I’m angry.
I’m going to hold this government to the same standard as others on here held the last one……..that’s all.

Weird behaviour from the right-wing media. They would prefer politicians who are out partying during the Covid lockdown as oppose to when Parliament is in recess.
Perhaps not in the same silly league as criticising someone for changing the pictures when they move house, but definitely a few-sandwiches-short-of-a- lunchbox mentality.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
It looks like I'm having some first hand experience of entrepreneurs leaving the UK.
I had been in communication with a person who runs a company from the UK, with offices in a few locations in Europe and the USA. He had been very keen for me to undertake some work for his company which carries out product R&D and modification/manufacturing in the UK. He has a couple of guys working for him who are past retirement age and looking to finish later this year. He was very keen to know when I would be available to take on some work, he said he wanted my services full time but would be glad of a day or two a week if possible.
I emailed him a few weeks ago as we agreed to let him know that the extended contract I was working on had come to an end, and that would free me up for a couple of days a week. I had a very brief response saying that the business was currently being restructured and he would let me know the situation when things have settled down.
I mentioned this to the acquaintance who introduced us, and he says that the business is being located outside of the UK due to concerns about the new government. (His wife is an employee)
Being nosy, I notice that his residential property has very recently appeared on an upmarket estate agent website.
It looks like this guy and his business are off.

People are allowed to have and enjoy their Summer holidays though.
What's the issue really?

Re: Here comes the tax rises
Looks like there is still some money for pensioners.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cewlqxv0n1qo

The Treasury expects the new full State Pension to be boosted above inflation by over £400 a year in cash terms, as a result of the Triple Lock next April.
|
That'll put it up to about £12k, getting close to the [frozen] tax free limit (£12,570).

You're expecting gas/electricity to rise by more than £400 ?

It will if that eco loony Milliband gets his way.
Labour are fully signed up to the net zero nonsense.

Re: Here comes the tax rises
Scotland has dropped free school meals to all primary school pupils.

The Scottish government has ditched an unfulfilled commitment to expand free school meals to all primary school pupils.
The promise to expand eligibility to all pupils in primary six and seven was made in last year's programme for government.
