On a £100K salary, you contribute £27.6K in tax, while someone on £30K contributes £3.5K. It takes nearly 8 people on £30K to replace that tax contribution. High earners add serious value to public services—excluding student loans, National Insurance, etc.

Sorry?
They’re raising the surcharge by 166%?
lol.
Industry figures expect the surcharge on banks’ profits, which is paid in addition to corporation tax, to rise from its current rate of 3% to 8%

Why isn't oil at $200? Because "someone" keeps dumping oil futures all night long, and the CFTC refuses to look into it. Heck, even when it's clear-cut insider trading, the CFTC has been told to "back off," and they did. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Why does he talk to us like we are thick?
Like he’s a primary school teacher and we are a bunch of kids?
“You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb and wonder how”
😂😂 we know how. Now will you cut tax on fuel or not?
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.

So many issues in the UK, boil down to this mindset. The insufferable attitude that poverty is noble. The outright lie that this salary makes you rich. The view that achieving things, should make you feel embarrassed.
The fact that salaries are so low, and that prime time TV has a Money Saving Expert telling us how to save £20 a year on our gas bills, should be completely shameful and embarrassing to us. This shit isn’t noble. It’s communism.

@FestAKINBUSOYE isn't convinced by @HinaBokhariLD's suggestion that builders could use cargo bikes to help tackle high fuel costs...
