    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'd unsubscribe but I did that already.

    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…!!

    Just as important is training the workforce properly especially in the manufacturing business…!!

    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.

    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.
