    Cut taxes on businesses first because its disinflationary while growing the economy and use the rest to pay down debt.

    Has April Fool Day come early? 🤔

    If things are so great the Government can afford to not increase energy bills by 20% in April then.

    Does Halligan ever get economics right?
    Is he really so out of his depth?

    Don't be so ridiculous.
    Most people have had a 18% reduction in income.

    OBR forecast wrong, what a surprise. For something so wrong so often why make any decisions from it? Some might say in the absence of nothing else to else, seems like using nothing is the best policy.

    I expect the calculation of PMI is fudged just like the calculations for inflation, growth, population, and employment, etc. If its the wrong result adjust the formula until you get the right answer .

    December 29, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    “Dodged” as in… tucked it all under the inflation. As in… inflated all the debt away so the working class has already paid for the recession, they just don’t know it yet.

    This is a load of total Bollocks
    Where is information coming from
    The CROOKED Goverment or the
    Totally Dopey Bank of England

    We are on the Titanic Mate
    Shops closing

    Expensive food
    Expensive Energy

    Tell that to the many thousands of previously healthy businesses that have gone to the wall because of the insane and totally unnecessary lockdowns, over a virus that only posed a threat to a fraction of 1%!

    Every country has a media hack saying exactly the same thing

    In contrast, this good news on the economy was very reluctantly released on BBC news outlets. Such a typical reaction will no doubt be shared by about 50% of the nation. Sad really.

  28. @doubleooh7337

    December 29, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    Surely a economy expert would be better then a "news economist , all you guys do is get the opinion of someone totally unrelated to someone elses opinion you do want, why not just ask the actually person.

    When you think of what has been happening since last September, it is no surprise. Fuel prices through the roof = a shit load of extra tax, vat, fuel duty etc. And on top of that some people are now in the higher tax bracket, plus the extra vat collected from energy bills

    "we're not using numbers but opinion of an authority".
    That called "appeal to authority" and is a logical fallacy.
    Do better.
    Dismissed.

Gran told to remove street garden she’s spent 25 years working on

Published

A grandmother has been ordered to remove a street garden she has tended for more than 25 years in northwest London after her council said it was attracting anti-social behaviour.

Katharine Hoskyns, an 89-year-old retired teacher, transformed the space outside her home in St John’s Wood with pots of tomatoes, geraniums and herbs, as well as a bench where neighbours stop to talk.

But Westminster Council have issued her with a notice to remove the plants and benches after some residents reportedly complained.

Joined by her sister-in-law, Catherine, Katharine told GB News’ Will Godley about the joy the garden has brought the community.

She said: “I think community enjoy it. Everybody who comes up to me says they really appreciate it.”

In a statement, Westminster City Council said: “Residents should be able to live without anti-social behaviour impacting on their lives. Moving this bench will help reduce the recent disturbance in the area.

“We remain hopeful that we can resolve the situation amicably.”

NEW: Nigel Farage SPEAKS OUT after Clacton by-election win ‘HISTORIC victory!’

Nigel Farage speaks exclusively to GB News following his swearing-in as the MP for Clacton, after what he describes as a “historic victory”. Farage reflects on his return to Parliament, the reaction he received in the Commons and the role of Richard Tice and the Reform UK team as he prepares to travel around the country once again. He also reveals plans for another nationwide tour as he sets out his priorities following his return to Westminster.

Farage also takes aim at the Conservative leadership, branding Kemi Badenoch a “copycat Kemi” following her shadow cabinet reshuffle. He reacts to Keir Starmer stepping down as the MP for Holborn and St Pancras, saying “he is going quietly” and describing the situation as “a bit hypocritical”. The Reform UK leader also discusses the growing political battles facing the government and opposition as Westminster continues to shift.

During the interview with Christopher Hope, Farage addresses the investigation surrounding the £5 million donation from Christopher Harborne, insisting that he is “constantly under investigation” and calling the situation serious. He also hits out at Andy Burnham over Britain’s debt crisis and responds to questions over whether the investigation could ultimately lead to another by-election in Clacton.

BREAKING: Prince Harry and six others face £9.5M High Court bill

Published

on

By



BREAKING: A High Court judge has ordered Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, Liz Hurley and four other prominent claimants to hand over an initial £9.54m to Associated Newspapers Limited following their defeat in a landmark privacy case.

The payment must be made by 28 August.

The group, which also includes David Furnish, Sir Simon Hughes, Sadie Frost and Baroness Doreen Lawrence, brought claims against the Daily Mail’s publisher alleging unlawful information-gathering — accusations ANL strenuously denied throughout proceedings.

Mr Justice Nicklin set the interim sum after ANL sought more than £9.9m, whilst the claimants’ legal team argued the figure should be approximately £7.9m.

The claims were thrown out on 7 July when Mr Justice Nicklin ruled that the high-profile group had not substantiated their allegations against the publisher.
