    1. This will continue to happen when things like the means testing of the winter fuel allowance gets opposed and the constant support for the triple lock happen. As well as not imposing a form of wealth tax or opposing anyway of the richest increasing their contribution.

      When issues look to be fixed, we need to let them be fixed.

      >The noise around wealth taxes points to property and inheritance taxation, as baby boomers start a mass transfer of trillions of pounds of housing equity to their children.

      Love to see this. This government’s reputation is already in the dumps. Going after the rich and the baby boomers won’t hurt their polling numbers any longer. Better to tax the richest of them to oblivion so we don’t carry on with this gerontocracy. I wouldn’t even mind a discussion around May’s dementia tax.

      So Labour are speed running economic collapse because they refuse to cut free money. At this rate if you work you are a mug.

      Suddenly feel some anxiety and long covid coming on..

      The title was changed ages ago, so how is it submitted with such an old title…?

      Oh good we’re in for a couple of months like last summer of this sub going crazy over budget rumours.

      Just hit the middles more then, without realising that there’s nothing left to give.

      We already have lowering living standards and taxing people more will just drive more people to say ’stuff it‘ and claim UC rather than pay ever increasing taxes.

      I can’t wait to get hammered yet again with frozen tax bands because I earn enough for nobody to feel sorry for me but not enough to actually live how people assume I should be living for what I earn.

      People need to wake up and realise anyone on £250k or less is a worker and anyone beyond that should be the ones getting hammered.

      I don’t even particularly want more. I’m happy for the poorest to benefit the most from any policy changes, as long as the richest are paying for it. The amount of tax I pay is eye watering for what I receive in return.

      Updating council tax values would net massive amounts from London & the south east.

    9. Why are people defending Labour and Reeves? The sort of tax rises she’s talking about are just going to make life for the 90% harder still. What is wrong some innovation? Perhaps legalise cannabis and cocaine and tax them. Or how about a land value tax?

      Labour are such a pathetic party, I regret voting them in.

      They want to act like the adult in the rooms, having to cut what is clearly unaffordable costs to the public, to continue propping up the unemployed, the pensioners and the wealthy on the backs of the actual middle class workforce.

      I hate reform, but they’ll have my next vote out of spite as there won’t be a country or future for us in 20 years if we continue raiding the workers in the country and our future.

      Oh good, I can’t wait to pay more tax. At this point one wonders what the point of working is

    12. STOP GIVING PUBLIC MONEY TO PRIVATE COMPANIES IN ORDER FOR THEM TO STASH THE RESULTING PROFITS ABROAD.

    13. MountainArm1076 on

      Labour borrowing and taxing, whilst unemployment goes up and the economy tanks. I am so surprised.

    14. Boomers and Gen Xers sucking dry and opposing any and all attempts to remedy the issue.

      I know it’s morbid, but I genuinely cannot wait for those two generations to die off. The world will improve at an exponential rate.

    15. I’d love it if for once in my life the government did something about taxes that actually benefited me in a personal level.

      I swear I’ve just successfully fucked at every opportunity.

      I’m not against taxes, but does it always have to squeeze the middle PAYE earners every fucking time?

    16. Vast_Pomegranate_482 on

      Time to fucking leave. Until they’re prepared to cut the fat there’s no sense in any hard working person (blue collar or white) staying in this cesspit of handouts. Votes are now insufficient so the only option is to withdraw labour and fertility and look for pastures new until this nonsense blows over.

    17. This was inevitable but the government just should not have wilted on benefits reform and winter fuel payments. This is classic Labour Party eating itself alive stuff (and I say that as a one time Labour member and long time Labour voter).

      Oh and scrap the fucking triple lock you cowards

    18. AbbreviationsIll6106 on

      Blame the big companies who ‚couldn’t afford‘ a rise in employers NI contributions and national minimum wage.

      Pay people a decent wage (after tax), your workers will be happier and less stressed about how they’re going to make it to next month.

    19. Just what is the fucking point. Everything that has been privatised exists to milk people from every penny, while offering the worst possible service.

      This is endorsed by the government and the regulators.

      And the answer is to tax people more??

      It’s a fucking joke.

    20. homeinthecity on

      They’re going to tax us into economic and social malaise, just to keep precious benefits and pensions maxed out.

    21. bobblebob100 on

      Ah yes, heading for tax rises. Just like the media said we were heading for restrictions on cash ISA’s…oh wait

    22. TheShakyHandsMan on

      The big Tory campaign message was that labour would raise taxes by £2k a person.

      This number was calculated because the tories knew how much it would cost to unfuck their mess.

      They want labour to be the bad guys sorting the countries finances out so they can get back in when the economy is good and fleece the country once again.

      And then the cycle continues

    23. Objective_Mousse7216 on

      Won’t be voting Labour so whoever rolls back all the taxes wins

    24. mturner1993 on

      I’m on 75k and with a 3 bed house in the south costing me 2300 a month, I feel like I am starting to have less to give as it is.

      Why tax me to fuck when older people have lived an  easy life their entire life?

      When I say south I mean Hampshire. Hardly within London.

    25. Visible_Pipe4716 on

      As usual the working Joe’s get stiffed and the pensioners, the wealthy and the benefit recipients get off Scott free.
      What’s the actual point in working?
      If you’re not a billionaire or on benefits you’re just there to support those who are.

    26. AirResistence on

      Of course it will, when the state has nothing to raise revenue besides taxes all it can do is raise taxes.
      But if the things that use to be publically owned was still publically owned it wouldnt be as bad.

    27. If this Labour government raises taxes on PAYE for ordinary working people then nothing will save them in the next election.

    28. Oh nice, guess I’ll need to get a third job – I can live without sleep, right?

    29. Pen_dragons_pizza on

      Can say goodbye to the little I gained from my below inflation pay rise then.
