Yeah we're absolutely drowning in people who want to cut their salary by 1/3 for no reason
Country's only fucked because it's filled with total spanners like you
"I earn ยฃ100k / year and barely scrape by. Here's why I think people earning 1/4 of that should have less:"
I earn ยฃ100 grand a year.
I have a detached house. 2 cars and my wife is a full time home maker.
I can just about afford this. I probably couldnโt afford the house I own if I was buying for the first time today.
My salary puts me in the top 5% of earners in the UK.
Top 5% to have a similar standard of living to Homer Simpson.
That is a disgrace.
We have a flatter salary distribution than Soviet Russia and the highest taxes and borrowing costs weโve seen in generations.
Success is almost impossible because our tax system means hard work makes you a stressed out tax cow, not wealthy and certainly not free.
We need something radical.
Less state.
More family.
Less handouts.
More reward for risk.
Instead. Tomorrow, Labour will offer another batch of policies which will send one message to aspirational Brits: why bother.

You ungrateful bastards....while our brilliant Chancellor makes it cheaper to survive on baked beans, chocolate and gherkins.... you actually seem to want cheaper electric and gas bills, cheaper petrol and a better standard of living...you seem to forget we have a war to start...

John Healey promised it would be a "continuity Labour government with a change of leader".
His Budget has delivered exactly that.
ALT Political graphic with a red background and the headline โCONTINUITYโ in large white capital letters at the top. The central image combines half of Rachel Reevesโ face on the left with half of John Healeyโs face on the right, creating one merged portrait. On the left, the text reads โRACHEL REEVES 2025โ. On the right, it reads โJOHN HEALEY 2026โ. Beneath both names are five identical statements, each accompanied by a white cross: NO WEALTH TAX NO RENT FREEZE NO PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF WATER NO MAJOR INVESTMENT IN CLIMATE RESILIENCE STICKING TO SELF-IMPOSED FISCAL RULES The lower half of the image gradually fades to black to make the white text more visible. The graphic highlights the Green Party's criticism that both Labour Budgets follow the same approach despite the change of Chancellor.

Andy Burnham is asked about Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields.
He says "Use of our resources can support and accelerate a clean energy future"
We are truly down the rabbit hole with this utter nonsense.
Invest in renewables, insulate homes & say no to fossil fuels.

People use the fact that Palestinians voted for Hamas in 2005 as a permanent indictment of the character of the population (despite the majority being under 20 and barely sentient in 2005) but never apply those standards to Israelis consistently voting for a genocidal maniac
๐จ๐ฎ๐ฑ UPDATE: Channel 14 has updated its exit poll, projecting Benjamin Netanyahuโs bloc to reach 61 seats, securing a Knesset majority
Exit Poll Results:
๐ต Netanyahu bloc: 61 seats
๐ด Change bloc: 42 seats
๐ข Arab parties: 17 seats
61 seats needed for a majority
Avigdor Liebermanโs Yisrael Beiteinu has also fallen below the electoral threshold

When burnham came in a few months ago I said that he would be offering shiny coloured glass beads to kid some gullible people things had changed since Starmer.
But even I didnt guess just how tiny the glass beads would be.
๐จ NEW: Andy Burnham has announced five "everyday fixes" ahead of the Budget
1. Carer's Allowance will be changed so carers no longer lose their entire benefit when they earn over the limit - instead, their support will reduce by ยฃ1 for every extra ยฃ1 they earn
2. Import tariffs will be removed on more than 100 products, including baked beans, chocolate and gherkins, to save households up to ยฃ21 on their food shop a year
3. Tax-free mileage rates for workers using their own cars will be made permanent at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, with the rate for additional miles rising from 25p to 35p
4. Parental pay will be extended to over 150,000 more parents a year, including self-employed fathers and partners
5. Hundreds more Post Office drop boxes will be rolled out to save people queueing at branches

People like this love to compare entry-level office jobs to dead-end retail as though they're comparable. Do you really think supermarket jobs guarantee full-time hours? How does the upwards mobility compare? It's not just a question of wage per hour, you know.

Wow, I mean, I spend hundreds of pounds a month on rent, but Andy Burnham has spent months in government to save me ยฃ21 a year.

You are angry that a single mother is not being viciously exploited by a landlord, instead of being angry that you yourself are being viciously exploited by a landlord
You are stupid and your crab bucket mentality is what's turned Britain into a shithole

Once again, nothing is a real problem until a conservative personally experiences it. Then itโs the greatest injustice to ever occur, how could this happen, why would anyone let this happen.

Extremely obvious that this will be enforced immediately against pro-Palestine protesters on the basis that Zionists will claim to have felt "distress" and "alarm".

Andy Burnham and the Labour Government are pushing our legal system to breaking point and forcing censorship on teachers and students to please Hitlerite freaks like this genocidal monster.

Should I panic buy lots of items so that Supermarket profits get a boost, which when combined with Black Friday and Christmas spending artificially inflates GDP in early 2027 thereby enabling the government and BBC News to announce "Good News on Growth" just as Fuel Bills go up?
Why should I stockpile and what will I need? bbc.in/4yESD4t
