      We’ve noticed, everything going up, wages barely moving and taxes having a good old time rising.

      We’re unfortunately far beyond the laffer curve now. And to steer it away from political arguments. Whoever can explain that to the uk public is the national interest to be the next govt

      *“Despite the rapid increase, the measure of tax on work in Britain, at 32.4%, remained below the OECD average of 35.1%. It ranged from 0% in Colombia to 52.5% in Belgium.“*

      We don’t have that high tax but the brackets are out compared to many other countries.

      Between the triple lock and increased welfare (likely to rise with the introduction of AI ) not sure why anyone didn’t see this happening

      When you have a surplus of workers, the price of labour goes down

      When you have a shortage of workers, the price up labour goes up.

      Headline is a little misleading. It is actually about tax on employees AND employers together.

      Be nice to have a government with the courage to tax wealth a bit more and work a bit less. Pipe dream, I know.

      British people are the serfs of the developed world vit we don’t do anything we coin embarrassing phrases like cozzy livs

      I can’t see a world in my lifetime where prices come down, so where does it end or what’s the consequence? The rich will continue to bleed the rest of the world dry, but when there’s nothing left to give, then what?

      Rachel Reeves and her fiscal drag. It’s going to get worse too as plan 2 student loans are having their thresholds frozen.

      Key point being „last year“, you know, when we had a new government put on a tax rise.

      Interested to know if min wage and state pension has also gone up fastest among comparable nations?

      Yes, paying >120gbp / day for nursery for a 2yo when 3/4 of the nursery gets the free hours is making me question my sanity.

      I feel that I get NOTHING back from the system where I contribute far more than others when I should be getting at least the same.

      Cos the rich keep complaining they’re taxed too much….. they aren’t!

      What do you expect when the top 1% are responsible for 30% of all taxes, all while accruing 60% of all new wealth. The bottom 99% have to pay more tax out of less income to compensate for the rich and their endless amount of loopholes they’ve built over the decades.
