"Only top half of UK earners to benefit from lower NI payments, thinktank warns"

real wages would be the same at the end of 2024 as they were in 2006

So, that's 18+ years with zero net growth, thanks to these clowns!

It will be interesting to see if they get a bounce because of the war effect. Personally I doubt it. Labour 44% and Cons 26% on 7th January. Worryingly. Reform is doing well at 10%, although they in theory will have a negative effect to the Cons and be an advantage to Labour. But the world is topsy turvey nowadays and no one really knows

I often think nowadays that it is less about politics and more about personalities unfortunately.

What always makes my blood boil are comments like this from Ministers:

The people voted for us to .... No, roughly 1/3rd of those who actually voted put you into power.

The people voted for us to send illegal immigrants to Rwanda even if that means sidestepping the courts and International Law. What about all the people who say "not in my name"?

It wasn't in the manifesto. The policy didn't even exist at the time of the general election, it was originally a silly idea they dreamed up and announced to distract from the partygate scandal.

Yet the worst headbangers latched onto it, tried to make it actually happen and two years later here we are...

Plus a few other tricks...... boundary changes, opening voting to expats absent for over 15 years, etc., etc.

Next it'll be allowing you to vote for each house you own or not at all if you don't own property (oh no, they tried that aready!!)
