  • Insanity is voting for Tories after the utter shambles they have created. Dearie me... 🤦

    If you are still undecided after the last 14 years then you must have been living in a bubble.

    "I'm leaning towards Rishi Sunak for what he's done for the economy" What - trashed it? And she claims to be listening. Jesus wept.

    "vote for Rishi for what he has done for the economy" What ruined it?

    We have 2 options ahead of us, pay more taxes to save our deliberately underfunded services or lose them altogether & pay 3-4 times as much for private services, just as the Tories planned it.
  • Floating the idea that there isn't wealth in the country isn't accurate. Gary's Economics channel has the solution to tax. Tax wealth inequality.

    People will say they haven't decided, but by now, people have.

    "Nobody has got any money" - that's a bit of an exaggeration. Rishi has money

    Remember, a cut to National Insurance is not a cut to tax. National Insurance has been cut twice this year, but the amount of tax most working people pay has gone up. It's gone up because the thresholds for Income Tax are frozen until 2028, so as inflation drives prices up and your pay (hopefully) goes up as well, more of that goes on tax. More than that, pensioners do not pay National Insurance, but they do pay Income Tax. This year is the first year ever that someone on the State Pension will pay tax on it, whilst anyone with a private pension will be paying more tax on it than before. Cuts to NI basically offer nothing to someone who is working, but they represent a very sneaky attack on the elderly. PS, I would prefer to keep paying the taxesif it meant improved public services.

    No such thing as an undecided voter, just voters who don’t want to say who they’ll vote for. Most of these people will still vote Tory just like in 2019 and 2017…

    FUNDING SERVICES every day. Irresponsible to cut the funding when so many groups need more money

    Politicians eh! Do or say anything that might get them elected. Things have to be paid for. We want better NHS, better police (or at least some police would be nice) less crime, better prisons, better border control, better social services, better education and so on. I'd respect a politician who stood up and said " these all have to be paid for and if you want them to be better you need to pay more " But instead these people think a penny or two off beer or off petrol makes a difference and they can then buy our votes. While they and their mates are filling their pockets and seeking tax havens for their dosh. How shallow they must think we poor uneducated plebs must be.
