We’ve noticed, everything going up, wages barely moving and taxes having a good old time rising.
I read today that the total amount of people not looking for work, looking for work or on long term sick is 9.12 million meaning that about 1/5 working age people are unemployed
Which seems bad…

When wages stagnate and taxes rise, people feel it fast.
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.
