🔥 Top post Staggering statistics. Real average weekly earnings are same today as in November 2005. A completely unprecedented period with no earnings growth. Hard to compare but likely this has not happened over any comparable period since Napoleonic wars. 1.7M❤ 3.7K🔁 2.1K
I don't think I have ever read anything so absurd in @FT Why publish it? The idea that VAT somehow creates a trade barrier, and is equivalent to a 25% tariff, is self evidently utter nonsense. 372.1K❤ 4.2K🔁 875 Getting rid of winter fuel payment. That is a saving of c£1.5bn. A sensible choice. 838.4K❤ 3K🔁 3.2K Rachel Reeves says £6.4bn overspend on asylum this year. Huge number. Does genuinely appear to have been unfunded. 637.6K❤ 2.1K🔁 796 Sure Start worked. It had big long term effects on the educational achievement of poor children. Its demise is a study in policy failure - over centralisation, over extension, poor data, "not invented here syndrome". 185.6K❤ 2.2K🔁 829 Buckingham Palace, valued at around £1bn, sits in band H and is charged £1,828 by Westminster City Council, less than an average three-bedroom semi in Blackpool...46% of households in England will receive a bigger council-tax bill than the… 527.1K❤ 2.6K🔁 1.3K Recall that the government has spent months saying it can't find any money to prevent nurses and teachers getting very big pay cuts. He just found £6 billion to cut fuel duties. That's a choice. 550.7K❤ 4.8K🔁 1.9K Simply staggering numbers in OBR report. Real Household Disposable Income per person to fall more than 7% over next two years. Biggest fall on record. Taking incomes down to 2013 levels. ❤ 6.1K🔁 3.6K From a fiscal point of view important to remember cut to 45p rate was just about smallest part of the "mini budget". What was a £45bn tax cutting package is now a £43bn package. This U turn has, in itself, essentially no effect on fiscal … ❤ 3.7K🔁 1.4K Worth repeating. Take all the tax changes coming in over next few years and: If your income is < £155k, you lose If your income is > £155k you win If your income > £1m you gain more than £40,000 ❤ 6.4K🔁 4K £45 billion of tax cuts. This is biggest tax cutting event since 1972. Barber's "dash for growth" then ended in disaster. That Budget is now known as the worst of modern times. Genuinely, I hope this one works very much better. ❤ 5.6K🔁 2.1K Oh for goodness sake. What is the possible justification for cutting income tax rate while raising NI rate? Drives further wedge between taxation of unearned income and earned income. Yet again benefits pensioners and those living off r… ❤ 9K🔁 2.8K
