The Anglo-British state, masquerading as the United Kingdom, has a long history of not honouring or abiding by its treaties or contracts, whether international or social. Hence its nickname: Perfidious Albion

Today a house has to be fully furnished with the best; assorted subscriptions; daily Starbucks; latest phone; nails; tattoos, throwaway fashion; foreign holidays etc. maybe if they looked at what they actually spend their money on they would be able to save for a deposit.

I will, I shouldn't have to pay more so the lowest common denominator is too hopeless to make decisions for themselves.

Fair chance that by 2030, the median household will be making $100,000 per year.

The strength of pensioners is high; our power rests in our age. Every time one of us is arrested for free speech, hundreds of nails are hammered into the Labour State coffin. We cannot punch physically to combat the jackboot but we can stand strong in defiance.

"Social contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on"
I have been paying for other people's pensions for 30 years, on the basis that when I retired the working generation would do the same for me. Social contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on.

The intended audience of this high-risk low-reward gambit is the bond market prior to the budget, similar to Reeves delaying announcements until after the OBR locked the bond rate used for their budget calcs so she could announce spending after the cutoff.

And these extra government costs on house building (which will be increasing further in October 2026 & March 2027) need to be addressed, or the sites still remain unviable despite affordability being less of a problem. (7/n) #ukhousing #ukconstruction

Also enough to fund free university education, or every sane tram/metro project ever proposed in every British city. What we have given to PIP passes no good cost:benefit exercise, and the massive increases in it won’t create any enduring economic legacy for Britain or its new recipients.
The PIP increase across the 2024-2030 period of £19 billion is almost twice as much as the £10 billion the government needs to find to increase defence spending lmao
