Loverly - lets see what happens in the real world - did your fiscal rules/ market forces work out that way when landlords mortgage costs shot up and so they increased peoples rents to try and cover it. All these renters who voted labour because they thought they would end up paying less rent were conned.

The EU is an old Albion memory that gammons adore and has dwindled to insignificance?
Last time I looked the EU was still triggering gammons on this very forum, lol. Looks like it's thriving to me.

She's a clever cookie...
I see some commentators saying that labour are leaking "taxageddon" so people think its going to be really bad but then when the budget is bad but not as bad as was being suggested then a bad budget will then look not so bad. ( I know what I mean )
I expect to see the state pension being means tested.
Single occupancy council tax being removed or changed.
Capital gains tax to go to standard tax rates - if not even more than.
Hitting landlords and savers with more tax
Pay per mile.
Compulsory ULEZ in all cities
Also watch out for when stazi starmer launches the ebay vinted carboot tax police.
Any more offers ?

It's a standard tactic, known as storm before calm. The reality, is she simply can't do what she wants or her party nutters want. The more she grabs, the more will disappear. Its always been like that.
Lots of people are evaluating their tax affairs to find savings. Its what happens when the state helps itself beyond what people deem fair.
Just this week I was applying for business rate exemptions on rentals I previously paid council tax on. Every little helps.

No one is ever happy, it's about finding a balance in line with your aims.
I thought she just announced that she is changing the rules to basically make the so-called black hole
disappear so she can borrow an extra £50b

No, that's for infrastructure spending.
Fair point we but we weren’t raped pillaged and wiped out by Brussels, in fact Farridge made a good living from it.
One of the main channels went through prices rather well yesterday.It started with a pay rise graph. It's reached 20% over the period covered.
Pensioners are not ordinary working people. For them look at housing costs and say those who's fixed term mortgage has ended. The above is not enough. Add CPI effects such as food now running at 3% and things look worse. The BofE uses CPI, RPI and an extended RPI for making decisions.
Pensioner argument is basically pretty simple. Look at income and fuel costs in the past and find that with the current level of pension people are better off even without the winter fuel allowance. That for a typical couple is £200. Bills are averaged over the year so 200/12, £16.67 a month. I wonder how many use it like that? If receiving one of several state benefits people will still get it.
How much cash can a benefit claimer have. £18k looks to be correct. It started much much lower but was increased to encourage people to save. Then think about emergency interest rates.

Agreed, which people often overlook.
They are ending the WFA for wealthy pensioners
