The crazy person is the one that doesn’t realise wealth inequality is the problem in this country
Rachel Reeves budget

Countries with lower wealth inequality have better standards of living for vast majority of ordinary citizens
I guess you consider facts, evidence, data to be “fantasy”

If all the rumours about her budget plans are true, I will have little choice other than to consider moving to Cyprus or similar.
So because he interviews well he would be good at being chancellor?
I don’t think so, he has less experience than Reeves and look at how that is going

I actually think all these leaks are intended to scare people in to accepting something less brutal.
You beat me to it. I was mid typing to ask if folk think this is all a ploy to then appear 'better' by announcing stuff that isn't quite as brutal. Or will it be just as bad as some are predicting?

The pension changes are a clear manifesto breach and hit the youngest hardest. Gives an excuse for companies to reduce their contributions.
I'm in the current 40% bracket, I'd happily see it increased to 45% if I thought the money actually went where it's needed but it doesn't, it'll end up lining the pockets of those that are fleecing the government.
The biggest issue is the mismanagement of the current money raised, the NHS is a great example, most hospitals can't recruit staff due to a lack of money, but they can have agency nurses in and pay a private agency thousands of pounds a week, similar situations go on right across the public sector.

Sadly, they aren't all true. Most of them are made up.
But please consider being an economic migrant.
The sooner the better.
Perhaps you think that the youngest workers are the most highly paid, so they can afford to sacrifice thousands of pounds a year into their pension schemes, and are paying such high rates of tax that they gain the biggest margin.
As usual, you are wrong.
Salary sacrifice is a wheeze mostly used by highly paid people to reduce their taxable pay. The cap is irrelevant to people on low pay.
You know that, really.
Stand by for many pages of bluster and waffle from the stalking biker.
