The video clip was Rachel Reeves being interviewed when she became Chancellor & saying she will definitely not be putting up taxes , vat etc & then the latest one where she is putting them all up. It was highlighting the lies that we have been constantly told by Starmer, her and other cronies.

We, the general public, who may be affected by tax increases are not sure what to think. There is far too much speculation in the media it has gone on for months, such that the masses are woried to death about the finacial future. Why can't they just shut up and wait and see. The media is scaring the population in many matters, just to sell newspapers for example.

It seems to me that all kinds of different means of taxation are floated to see what the reaction is to each suggestion, then it also seems to me that all reactions are then assimilated then decisions will be taken.

It is being floated today that the 2 child tax benefit will be scrapped, I understand that children should not be in poverty but why should OAP’s be taxed to pay for this benefit, plus the paying of other grossly inflated welfare benefits, keeping migrants that kind of thing, by taxing some OAP’s don’t the government realise they could push OAP’s into poverty?

I think that some pensioners trying to live on the basic rate are already in poverty Liz.

I think that you are so right, it is very sad that these pensioners have to live on next to nothing when idol layabouts, scroungers, asylum seekers and the like continue to live the life of Riley that we, who have worked all of our lives, supposedly doing the right thing, now have to pay for it all, typical socialism though.

If this pathetic government stopped the Illegals and Scroungers both lots who take millions out of our taxes it would enable the genuine to benefit, it appears that this government despised the elderly !

We need a General Election fasttttttttt before we are bankrupt.They have all been shown to be liars & only doing it to become wealthy.
Reeves is now a millionaire, Charva Rayner a Millionaire & that buffoon Lammy is one to name just three.
I cant think of anyone in that Liebour Government who could do a good job.They've all sat back and watched duckegg Starmer control them.

True Mac.
We have a development in our area (midlands) where nearly 50% (600) of houses built so far are "social" or " supported Rental at lower than market rates" which means that occupants are usually on benefits.
There is a facebook site that covers these houses and it features residents asking vital questions like
Where do I get my lashes done?
Is there a local spa and beauty parlor?
Are there any dog walkers?
Who does weaves and nanno hair extensions? (whatever they are !!!)
Is there a local Indian or Chinese delivering?
Does Just Eats deliver here?
Where can I get nails done?
Can I get brow lamination done here?

I am sure that many Pensioners are also asking these questions daily
