    Re: The Rich Get Richer

    Look like as a household I will be £1,469.88 better off wages wise before other increases are implemented due to indirect cost of living rises.

      Kami-Kwasi Economics.

      Liz Truss' budget means that those earning a million a year will have £54,400 extra in their pockets after tax and NICs. For those earning £25,000, the equivalent figure is about £280.

      Hard to imagine a worse response to a cost of living crisis.

      Plus they are attacking working peoples right to strike again!

      They know they are losing the next general election so they are stuffing their and their mates bank accounts with as much money as they can in the next 2 years.

      I have never been so angry.

        I've completely lost the will to take any tories seriously on this forum now all of them are utter jokes and I'm putting that politely, they will justify this no matter what. I am beyond angry at this.

        Our government doesn't represent the average person, it represents the wealthiest in society only. If you are working class and voted for this lot you're thick as shit.

          An expected cost of ~£40Bn to the Treasury.

          Maybe this time trickle down economics will work…
          There is no, ZERO, evidence that any reputable academic study has found that trickledown works.

          There's a simple principle to remember with regard to a fiscal stimulus: if you give a poor person an extra $1, they'll spend it (boosting the economy), if you give a rick person an extra $1, they'll save it (that doesn't boost spending).

            So how many people out of our UK population of nearly 69million earn over £1m a year.....less than 19,000...and I bet a load of them are footballers.

                  The Chancellor has officially announced the end of the cap on bankers’ bonuses.

                  Between December 2019 and September 2021 alone, the Conservative Party received £11 million from hedge funds and bankers.

                        If you have an annual income of £1 million, you’re going to get £55k in tax cuts, if you earn £20,000 a year, you’re getting £218 - what a country!

                            Hard to capture the scale of the sell-off in UK bond markets since Kwasi Kwarteng's statement. Five-year gilt yields have risen almost half a percentage point to a peak of 4.047% - the biggest one-day rise since at least 1991, by my calculations. New borrowing now far costlier. https://t.co/EpPBmplDvq

                              It will be more and more expensive for us to purchase anything now hence yet even steeper inflation. Turbulent times ahead indeed.
