    It’s actually quite impressive for the chancellor to admit that in her belief lowering the fuel taxes (and thus prices) will increase inflation.

    I, like most the country, think the threshold should be exactly 1p above my exact salary

    Since Madam Chancellor believes that lowering costs causes inflation, and costs are going through the roof at the moment, what is she worried about? Surely we’re about to enter a blessed period of low inflation

    Oh great, squeeze the middle a bit more. Anything but these energy companies making slightly less profit in a time of international crisis.

    How many young worker adults still live at home because they can’t afford a place of their own again?

    Me: works hard = will receive nothing.

    My brother: has not worked in years (bum) = will receive more handouts.

    Same old story.

    So middle income families already squeezed by never rising tax thresholds and cost of living. These families will be paying to further support older income poor but very wealthy empty nesters. Living in houses well beyond the value these families will ever be able to afford.

    Maybe Reeves should be encouraging oaps to downsize to smaller cheaper more energy efficient housing and using their money to pay their own energy bills

    Middle earners getting fucked again.

    At least they’re helping their voting demographic

    So, if you work, no support. If you hide money from HMRC, you have full support.

    Good initiative. Did she think why Labour is losing elections?

  10. Reeves ‘I plan to tax middle earners more to pay for this’

    They must be getting a lot of extra VAT that hadn’t been budgeted for due to the price of petrol etc rising so sharply.

    Couldn’t that be cut temporarily to alleviate some of it? And make it so that it has to be passed on to customers at the pumps

    What labour just do not get us that everyone under 100k is being squeezed one way or another

    Everyone complaining in the comments while the threshold hasn’t been announced yet. Reeves is doing the right thing. The whole point of this is to avoid giving 1/3 of the fund to the rich, not to “squeeze” the middle class. Stop complaining all the time ffs.

    Maybe one day we’ll get a government that stops meddling, stops the nannying and nagging, stops flinging out handouts (aka electoral bribes) at the drop of a hat and starts treating people as adults instead of institutionalised children.

    Not holding my breath though.

    Yay, squeezed again.

    2% pay rise when inflation is 4%, but all bills go up by greater than 4% and my net pay rise is only 1% after tax and student loan. But apparently I can barely more burden. Absolute joke of a country.

    Concerted effort to reduce living standards in this country through driving down wages and driving up cost of living using immigration. And if it’s not having to compete with the highly educated foreign workers, jobs are offshored to India, or being replaced by AI. What’s the end game here? The country lacks and sort of cohesion now and we’re giving up our skilled work and blocking entry level jobs for our youths. This country is not being run for its citizens.

  16. Middle class one again being asked to bend over for the benefit of everyone else.
