    These tax cuts mean nothing if the government doesn't also cut its spending. There is an astronomical amount of waste in government spending but nobody has the spine to deal with it. If I have a dip in my monthly income then I have to look closer at what I'm spending in a month and cut out some unnecessary expenses, we should expect the government to be doing the same thing.

    The first thing I would be doing is taking aim at the civil service, the home office being the first target. They don't obey the instructions coming from the elected government, which is a big part of their bloody job, and they're horribly inefficient. Once the home office has been gutted we could start taking a serious look at all the bogus asylum seekers already here and putting up strong border controls to prevent any others coming across illegally.

    Did the pound go down or did the dollar go up all assets are sinking against the greenback ?

    If you thought boris was bad, truss is going to bankrupt this country, after all, she is following klaus schwab's WEF.

    And because of that, the fuel prices will increase and thus wiping out any tax benefits for the lower tax bracket. The higher tax rate folks gain thousands so they'll be fine.

    Correct. Thatcher funded all of her tax cuts. Truss is just borrowing money to give to the mainly wealthy. Your get no growth out of that.

    There weren't any tax cuts, several near future tax rises were cancelled and Sunak's pathetic 1p off income tax is now one year away instead of two years away. Nothing is coming to you, it's coming FROM you and going to the filthy stinking rich, helps if you're ''d'ya know what compos mentis''

    What serious person makes a chicken noise in the middle of giving an expert opinion.

    What a clucking joke this channel is.

    I’m surprised how socialist this country really is. A 40% tax rate is being framed as a giveaway. People just want extra benefits and public spending. This country deserves another Labour government.

    WHAT A LOAD OF cobblers, pound goes down against the dollar but look at the other currencies, Euro yen etc. Its the dollar that is strong, ( for the moment but time will tell) and when Bidens policies finally kick in I think gold will be the position to hold. At the present time gold is being held down by a USA bank that is buying cheaply.

    in the last 25 years the pound has went from £1.60 to £1.09 to the dollar can your so called experts not provide the reasons why ?.
    as far as the wank£$s are concerned they have caused more problems and bankruptcy while being paid millions in bonuses for shitin% on the whole of the uk and you tories made us bail them out for it.
    another very poor interview from a very poor haircut

    This will be short term dop n the pound…..history will show you this…!!

    The country needs to massively ramp up its manufacturing. …a country that doesn't manufacture. ..has no REAL economy

    I give this government until Christmas. And then we will be landed with a Labour government. Winter of discontent 2.

    One wonders what’s next. Let’s start with banning interest rates.

    December 25, 2023 at 2:44 pm

    you cannot tax your way to prosperity. give this strategy a chance and it will work…because it's the only economically sensible approach in the long run. brexit represents a huge opportunity to undercut the eurozone on taxation and regulation and this is the first serious effort to seize that…what a tragedy it took so long.

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”

Published

Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.

The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.

The ban comes into force today.

Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.

“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.

“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.

“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

We now live in GASLIT BRITAIN

Published

on

By



Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.

Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”

A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.

“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.

“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”

British burqa ban? GB News guest urges UK to follow Portugal

Published

on

By



Tiffany Marie Brannon has urged Britain to introduce a burqa ban after Portugal did so.

Portugal has banned face-coverings in public in a measure widely seen as a “burka law” targeting Muslim women.

President António José Seguro signed into law a bill that originated with the hard right-wing Chega party.

The policy was adopted by Lisbon in July with votes from the right-wing governing coalition and the hard right, while left-wing parties voted against it.

Speaking on The Late Show Live on GB News, Tiffany Marie Brannon argued that the issue raises wider questions about integration, cultural identity and the role of religious dress in British public life, as the debate over face coverings continues to divide opinion.
