Re: Will Someone Please Shut Him Up!!
[QUOTE=AnnieS;1204410]We didn't vote for the public to decide how the economy should be run. If that was the case then I say we should have zero tax for over 40s and a really decent pension for all with retirement at 55. I'd also like a four day week on the same pay. The young uns can work 24 hours a day to pay for the pension and reduced working hours for over forties. We have earned it!But, unfortunately we can't afford lower taxes any more, how would we pay for the NHS and pensions?[/QUOTE]
We could make a start by trimming billions off the foreign aid budget, were far to much of it is wasted on despots and stupid worthless projects.

Has the man lost his marbles? This again was the reason 17 million voted to leave the Bloc, so we could decide exactly how to run our own economy and decide for ourselves whether our taxes should be higher or lower, WE DECIDE.
What we certainly do not need is a plank like Hammond who should be the second person after the Prime Minister, to be talking UP this country, but is instead, it seems, quite happy in giving the EU more and more ammunition against us whenever he opens his mouth regarding these negotiations. And this from our Chancellor of the Excheqeur!!
Notice how much the EU give any clues away to us in their plans during negotiations? Exactly, Zilch. The way it should be. But we, unfortunately, have a fox in the henhouse. A rabid Remainiac who is undermining our negotiating team's efforts to get a good result for this country.
I seriously think this disgraceful, untrustworthy plank should be removed forthwith before he causes further untold damage.
What say you?
Every single word!

Surely he has to be careful about immigration otherwise you could be flooded with poor ex pat UK citizens who, having sold their French or Spanish property in a buyers market will throw themselves on the taxpayer when they return. If you think immigration negotiations with the EU are going to be easy or that you are going to get the outcome you want then I fear you are going to be disappointed.
As for taxation? Which services would you be prepared to do without in order to lower taxes - lower pensions, lower welfare, higher registration fees, less police? Perhaps he was just expressing the reality of the situation you are in.

Re: Will Someone Please Shut Him Up!!
HiThe Politicians running Brexit are all prominent members of the Leave Campaign, Boris, Fox and Davies.
The PM has just appointed Gove to the cabinet, another leader of the Leave Campaign.
It is hardly a matter of imbalance in the Cabinet.
We are losing £Billions in Tax as a result of leaving, far more than we paid in, Hammond's job is to minimise this loss during the transition period.
The depth of these Tax losses and the length of the transition period is down to the Brexiteers.

It's amazing that's it's taken such a situation for the public to realise how badly everything has been run. Brexit itself is another poor move and will cost the country billions if not trillions in the long run. It's a very expensive way of taking the government to task.

Re: Will Someone Please Shut Him Up!!
I think many of us knew, I've been fobbed off many times by my MP telling me it's the eu not the governments fault for various things. This IMO is needed so I can at last say to him do your flaming job mate stop fobbing me off.Many many of us have the same problems it's always the Eu at fault, so time to find out once and for all.
