Are they expecting a lot to be heading towards politicians?

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?

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”.

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.

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.

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)
