   Does he think he owns your money if you have more than him? He owns your extra?
   Cutting taxes is more analogous to not stealing than throwing money at people.

   He has is short and long terms mixed up. In the short term will will endure consequences after 40 years of bad financial policy has created this black hole. ADAPTATION HAS COSTS in the short term but the costs of leaving bad policy is much worse.

   Kwasi and his Quasi- budget. He fecked the countries balance of trade & drove the pound down and thus made it more expensive for Britain to import things like GAS. The asshole just put fuel prices up by coming out with his ill thought out quasi-budget. Where did the people with talent go? In a party of several hundred there’s only about 30 who can cope with high office. The rest are useless. Out of their depth in a puddle.

   The definition of Trickle Down economics: Wealth is pumped in from the top… and whatever may eventually get to the bottom might be of some benefit.. Kind of like throwing bones and scraps from the banqueting table.

   Thank you so much 2019 Tory voters. You wise decisions continue to ensure the prosperity and security of this fine nation for generations to come. I am also confident that your personal hygiene is above reproach.

    😳 What alternate reality is this ‘economic expert’ in ? Reagan’s policies are still responsible for the dynamism and growth in the USA economy even today. Go Kwasi and Liz Truss 🙏 looking forward to you trimming all the incompetent government spending next 👏👏👏

    How can tax cuts be unfunded? Does that mean my money belongs to the state instead of myself? Or can I not afford my own tax cuts? Utter delusion

    The market is deluded. Too used to 14 years of 0% interest. 5% interest are normal and desirable because people might actually save money! Then you cut taxes and those who want to spend can. This is the best budget in my lifetime and the status quo response just proves how far down the Neoliberal rathole we have fallen

    None of the mainstream political parties in the uk are worth voting for.
    I’m going to research the smaller parties and vote for one of them at any future elections, this monopoly by the big parties has to end if we want change.

    Better idea for the government – stop spending on Ukraine, start extracting Gas, Oil and Coal for UK use only

    The BRICS countries ( Brazil , Russia , India , China , South Africa ) are living away from debt based FIAT currencies and moving towards their OWN ASSET BACKED ( Gold , Oil , Food , commodities etc ) currencies that are actually backed by somethjng REAL …… the Yen , Dollar , Pound , Euro are effectively worthless junked backed by nothing. …whose supposed worth has been diluted to nothing via printing trillions of more worthless fiat …..

    Those at the top WILL be using this created out of thin air credit to,purchase REAL ASSETS and leaving the plebbs to pick up the debt in reduced standards of living and increased taxes

    This Portes is incorrect. The UK Debt-GDP is the second lowest of the G8, only Canada's is lower.
    The point is that Kwartang is taking advantage of that to cut taxes in expectation of tax income rising as the economy is stimulated. the Treasury has been singing the opposite tune for decades and under Sunak was going to increase taxes as if that would stimulate the economy – it wouldn't.

    Instead of subsidising everyones energy bills the Government should have gone back to the UK producing it's own energy on a National basis as this is the only way to address what is going on. It would also save a hell of a lot of money in the long term , not to mention stabilise the UK economy and help it as people would then actually have more money in their pockets. The spending power is going to be with the rich and more people forced into poverty which is bad for any economy. In fact it makes me a bit mad that these fools have done so much damage to the UK across the board and immigration is the most ridiculous area which is filled with inaction , lies , abuse of the law and a whole host of other very bad things…

    Most developed countries are rushing to devalue their currency. A recession is coming and inflation will be under control next year.

    Big risk from the Conservative, s . They always look after the rich. The ordinary working people will never get real decent wages. This trickle down new happens , more like a drought for the ordinary working people.

    It really has nothing to do with the mini budget- capital markets were already moving money back into the USD – Hense why every currency and commodity was under pressure yesterday- so much so that the Japanese had to step in to support the Yen last week

    Government don't care about medium to long term finances. They know cash and society is being intentionally and systematically destroyed. They keep us poor and reliant. That's their game.

    This is the seventh economic growth plan in the last 10 years' , which did not work. The UK is set to slide into a crippling stagflationary recession as prices soar. But we can send “ANOTHER” £2.5 BILLION to corrupt Ukraine.
