Election Year or Fear!

[Andy_Faber]

It didn't take long for the new government to produce the "the Tories left it in a bigger mess than anyone thought" card, shortly to be followed by the "we'll have to increase taxes after all despite our promises" card in the immediate future.

So transparent, so predictible. Reverse those NI cuts please.

Yup, same **** different bucket. Predictable and boring.

[Andy_Faber]

Indeed they should be reversed, though the line from Labour is that "working people" whatever that means but is presumably a euphemism for "the average Jo or indeed Jean) won't see their taxes raised.

Also if you recall Labour made no specific promise about not raising certain taxes, but did say that nothing in their manifesto required tax rises.

Apparently this time t instead of one note saying there's no money left there were several.

We have ignored pay recommendations by pay review bodies for public sector workers

The prisons are full and we have done **** all to sort it

The defence budget is woeful and we have done **** all to sort it

Schools are crumbling, teachers are leaving in droves and we have done **** al to sort it

We spent all the money on useless PPE provided by our mates instead of the NHS (but counted it as NHS spending

The tax cuts we made were unfunded and the tax cuts we promised at the election even more so

The water companies are ****ed and we have done **** all to sort it

The Justice system is ****ed and we have done **** all to sort it

The actual costs of the ludicrous Rwanda scheme are £700 million not £400 million

There is no budget left to complete the fictitous 40 new hospitals

I could go on but you get the drift!

The main drift I get is that they’ve identified older folk as Tory voters so decided to kill them off through hypothermia. They might as well go full Nazi (your favourite analogy so if the cap fits) and put Zyklon B on free prescription

That's a bummer that - it used to aid my Christmas wine budget. Honestly it was crazy that a household with say 400k annual income with 2 working pension aged people still got the WFA...

only those on pensioners credit get it. Seeing as they are on half the income of someone on minimum wage, that's really low.
How they can wipe out anyone above that, is criminal.

Meanwhile DR's are getting a payrise, which will mean the Unions will be lining up for their clients.
Get ready for Carry on at your convenience.

Drs 22% over 2 years should stop the drain and persuade more to join.

More blackholes left by the Blue Tories has seen the heating allowance for pensioners go.

Then there's Trump who is now putting it out there "vote for me now and you won't have to vote again". Dictatorship?

Armageddon?

[Trickytreesreds]

There are no black holes left by the Tories that Labour didn't know about.
They had full access to that data before the election. They lied, as all politicians do.
So its rob Peter to pay Paul.
Only your Granny will be freezing her tits off come Xmas.

in 3 weeks the civil unrest has shot up and the financial pain hasn't even started.

Saddle up, lock and load.

Bit over the top on the hyperbole even for you? They have identified that many relatively well off older persons including myself, don't need the payment. About time it was targeted at those that actually need it.

More *******s again, if you did your research you would know your wrong, but hey its not stopped you before, so I guess old habits die hard.

oh its facts and a back stab.
Meanwhile, rubber boat Abdul, will still get his 3 meals a day and free gas/leccy.
This lot will be a hopeless and clueless as the last, just accept it and stop denying it.

BTW pants on fire AGAIN!!!!
