    The "productive part of the economy" is not productive for the economy.

    Yet another twat who is decrying the OAP pension increases in line with inflation. News young man one day you will be old, and the state pension is not given by government liegest, or as they like to call it a benefit. it is a contract between the government and the worker the worker and the employer pays in to enable the worker when too old to retire with an income, which like it or not is not a living wage hence the government has to do what? pension credit and other benefits to top up the state pension.
    Meanwhile in the real world a pensioner like a worker pays income tax once the tax allowance is exceeded. Whilst the reality is the OAP is one of the few so called benefits which becomes taxable by stealth the old age pension is deducted from your tax allowance, making even a small private pension above £245.18 a month taxable, as income. Whilst how many of working age are claim welfare benefits above the tax threshold yet pay no income tax on the excess amount. How many workers are claiming income support again is another tax free benefit.
    We live in a country which welcomes all, provides for all but moans at looking after our own. A country that will pay for wives and children who don't even live in this country pay an allowance for 2 nd wife and dependent family, provide 2 houses and double income. Whilst the good and great decree it as bigamy which is against the law for the indigenous population. A country that will pay many millions each day to house people who have broken the law, by breaking into this country yet fails to look after its own.
    A disappointment , no what did you expect from a government that preaches austerity whilst spending like hell , the day before they announced 5 billion of spending on new warships , will it be 5 billion ? no more.

    Missing from the budget statement….a plan to negotiate an end of the Ukraine war….the cause of the cost-of-living, energy, and food shortage crisis. Instead of organising talks to prevent the Ukraine war, the UK government have sent armaments to Ukraine which have escalated the destruction of Ukraine, helped to kill 100's of thousands of innocent people and helped to cause the escalation of energy, fuel and food costs. Proof the USA caused the conflict to sell Europe oil and gas at exorbitant prices https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo2FjkO9-ZY

    It was incredibly disappointing Autumn statement to be fair and its not surprising. Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt doesn't really care about basic economics. I won't be surprised if the Tories would lose badly in the next elections.

    Absolute disgrace by a chanchaller who was installed by the shadow government. Truss was sabotaged as she wasn't going with the agenda. We do not have democracy anymore. Net zero, digital Id, vaccine passports, central Bank digital currency are all way they plan enslave us, to I hope people start to wake up to this. This is scary stuff.

    As a health professional I'm livid they're pouring more money into the failing NHS and its woke lunacy. I have a visceral hatred of this socialist government.

    Disappointing? Bit of an understatement.
    But not to Onkel Klaus who is thrilled to bits at the destruction of the sme's which provide the vast majority of UK jobs.

    It's a fiscal and economic disaster, more tax and bigger government is not what the majority want, it is though in locstep with the world economic Forum. These politicians dislike us and it now shows how much, they have bought into net zero and all allied organisations, we have no way out but to vote Reform!

    Liz Truss got her economic advice from the IEA and that didn't work out too well.

    More risible than disappointing.

    Net Zero will kill this country but both Labour and Conservative parties want it, why
