Are they expecting a lot to be heading towards politicians?
Disclaimer, obviously not endorsing the use of objects to assault MPs but couldn’t waste the one liner.
All shall be sacrificed on the altar of Triple Lock.
oh for fucks sake. can you all just stop being idiots.
raising beer duty, sugar duty, you cant just keep doing this.
have you considered making energy a not for profit org? seen as its a basic human right?
why do *people* keep having the pay for this by having a non-grey life?
I’ll wait until the actual budget. All these “according to reports this” “according to reports that” stories are mind numbingly obtuse. I get they will feed the media certain policies to test the waters. But the run up to this budget has been ridiculous.
Edit: Not sure why I’m being told the Government will leak policies as an explanation, as if I didn’t make it clear I’m already aware of that.
I’m am sure plenty of stuff we’ve heard are probably legitimate ideas floating about. But the sheer volume of „leaks“ feels like complete bullshit.
>According to reports
Fully convinced that papers are just making shit up to generate clicks now.
I hope some news outlet collates all these „According to sources“ speculation articles after the budget comes out and rates how many of them actually turned out to be true.
Reeves confirms boys in yards to be taxed. Refuses to rule out that hers is “better than yours”.
Tomorrow “Reeves to kill 2000 puppies in new budget, according to a report from someone”
Yeah its those pesky milkshakes hoarding all our wealth and property.
This will fix everything.
Why the fuck are rich peole and pensioners… and rich pensioners off limits?
Why don’t we wait for the actual budget instead of wild specualtion.
Triple lock ??? Nah, let’s hit the milkshakes……. we will be cap in hand to the IMF before we touch the triple lock, despite our knowledge of how unaffordable it its.
Im in my late 30s now and im terrified of whats waiting for my generation in retirement…. or should I say a lack of whats waiting for us!
It doesnt matter who gets in power, they all make the same mistakes and continue to kick the can down the road.
What’s happening today will be locked back on in sheer amazement, the fact that we willfully destroyed our future generations security to keep a single group of people happy.
Can she wait until *after* Farage finishes his election campaign?
(joke)
This isn’t a new tax, it’s ending an exemption that’s clearly not fit for purpose. Why should a highly sugary milk-based drink not be taxed while a non-milk based drink with the same sugar content is?
The original tax is also idiotic, it encourages suppliers to add more harmful ultra processed ingredients to their beverages to avoid the tax.
We are going to start having non milk based milk shakes now aren’t we? Rip frijj and Yazoo o7
Pasty tax redux. Cue endless discussions on „is it a milkshake if made with oat milk? Is supermarket chocolate milk a milkshake? Will it be taxed if it’s sold from a kiosk or an outdoor stall?“. And some wonk will run numbers and work out that it will cost £1bn more to implement than it raises.
They are so so bad at this. Just raise income tax on higher earners. There’s 7.4m higher rate tax payers in the UK, including 2 in our house. An extra £10 a week tax would raise £3.8 billion.
My milkshakes bring all the HMRC inspectors to the yard
And they’re like it’s taxable unless it’s yours
Damn right, it’s not VAT free unless it’s yours
I could teach you, but I’d have to charge (18p/litre)
My milkshake brings all the revenue to the treasury 🎶
I love how they claim shes u-turned on income tax rises. So shes u-turned on something she never said will happen. Hows that work
Never forget that the bank bailout cost us at least £23bn
Is anyone else bored of this?
If reeves announces all the bullshit taxes the media and the Whitehall Civvies leak – there won’t be a black hole, there’ll be a huge surplus.
It’s just to bring them in-line with other drinks. A lot of milkshakes are essentially desserts disguised as a drink.
They should also apply sugar tax to coffee and alcohol.
Reports?
Reports of what exactly? Data that is not available?
U-turn on something that was never announced by anyone but media tabloids?
Give me a break, I am getting sick of this type of article.
This is not news, this is speculation that hides behind a word „report“. This entire article is based on the word „report“ that is not shared in any capacity.
Finally found a milkshake that’s £3 near me last week (imagine saying this in 2015)
Can’t even horde them
I hate this world
It should be illegal to announce „chancellor to INSERT SPECULATIVE HEADLINE“ every single day running up to a budget.
If you asked 100 voters whether they’d rather pay more income tax or slap 20% on the cost of a milkshake, the overwhelming majority would choose the milkshake option
Whats the historical record for most amount of seats lost in a single election cycle? I think Labour has 405 seats currently, I’m going to predict they have around 100 after the next election. I can’t think of any other government that is just so bad at doing anything.
They are doing a very good job of making the Tory shitshow of the previous 9 years (lets give the Tories some credit and say they were semi-competent before 2015) look good.
Aside from Truss/Kwartang (which basically doesn’t count) I think Starmer & Reeves are the worst PM/Chancellor pair in UK history.
Tax the bloody rich and stop pissing about! Why are politicians so scared to hand out a wealth tax? (Ok, I know why, but I’m wondering if anyone will try and over explain why we shouldn’t do it)
