Bad-enough typical political stunt promise low tax, jam tomorrow & good times! While knowing you can stand on the outside point fingers & say if you voted for me you would be better off! More Tory bollocks oddly picking on another Tory party, but a red Tory pound shop job!

As bad ass Kemi Badenoch’s new “economic rule” — tax less, spend less — would wreck the UK economy all over again. Read why.

-> ' growth pledge?
-> Now tax hikes loom in Budget.

Reeves drops the income tax rise after an improved OBR forecast — so the markets punish her by hiking borrowing costs.

Here’s why investors flipped out.

Pablo: But how the heck did they get it THAT wrong?
More jiggery Pokery and a collapsing (even more than normal) election status?

Do do they hate Fromage more than their own vaporising voter base?

Fresh ONS hit: UK unemployment stuck at 5% – a 4-year high!
-> 117K fewer payrolled jobs YoY, Reeves under fire pre-Budget.
-> BoE rate cut whispers grow louder... but families still broke? Who's fixing this mess?

UK's jobless rate blasts to 5% – worst since COVID lockdown hell! From Labour's shiny 4.1% promise to this mess in 16 months. 
-> Workers dumped? Time for real change!

Sickness absence is costing employers £85 billion a year and costing the taxpayer £212 billion a year, but sure, tell me again how it's not cost effective to offer covid or flu vaccines to working age people on the NHS.

20 min listen only analysis of UK's current state of affairs. What our govt and media don't tell us.

You don't have to be a communist to appreciate how fragile and desperate our economy is, but not for everybody. Corporations are doing well, due to a blend of low taxes and tax evasion.
One particular reason why we suffer so much is UK's military interventions. Ukraine's the reason for the unreasonably high energy prices we all have to pay.

I like the suggestion to raise the basic rate of income tax by 2p but take 2p off NI. Would make no difference to ordinary working people, but would mean people living on unearned income and pensioners pay more.

Hell, why not even scrap NI altogether and just put the whole amount onto income tax. Would be a massive simplification of the system as well.

Can't see them doing it though. Pensioners wouldn't like it, and pensioners vote.

Oh no, the UK's economy got a boo-boo worth $2.5B because someone left a digital door open at Jaguar Land Rover! 🚗💸 Meanwhile, Reuters can't even decide if it wants you to read their article or block it with ads. 🤦‍♂️🔒
