Hi

The rise is going to cost me the princely sum of £3.80 a year.

I will survive.

We as a country still need to be paying more Tax, we are still spending far more than we earn and not everything should come from cuts.

Of course, everybody thinks that other people should be paying more tax, never themselves.

You must have a big car and house Michael ..
Looks like mine is going to an extra £1.65pa amply covered by the rise in my pension .
I have two pensions about which I knew nothing and don't remember joining that pay a few pence a week

Don't think it will cost me all that. Besides the higher than usual pension increase he given us from next month should more than pay for it

Re: The Budget

Is it me missing something, but the example does not show monies that are sent to the EU or refunds that come back from the EU? Does it not come out of the national purse?

Re: The Budget

Little being said about the intended punitive attack on the disabled by the PIP reforms. Already being attacked by Tory backbenchers, and it may well be a rebellion is already bearing fruit.

On OT last night Tory MP Nicky Morgan signaled it was suggested the plan was only a “consultation” - when that has already passed that stage - and is “still being discussed”.

Supposedly up to 20 Tory Mp`s have threatened to vote against this policy.

Re: The Budget

I'm alright Jack! That seems to be the consunsus on here. Our pensions were secured long before we started to draw them. The next generation won't be so lucky. The homeless, disabled, terminally unemployed are dismissed as worthless, as are the sick and incurables.

That's Tory England - greedy, selfish, uncaring and hopeless.

Amazing isn't it why so many immigrants desperately want to come and live here.

If it bothers you so much you can always give yours away

So many generalisations about people of whom you know nothing, so much bitterness. Maybe you should try speaking for yourself not others for once.
