  1. all businesses in uk should share their profits with the public like China, capitalism greed is barbaric, communism is human kindness , look at what capitalism has done to this country ( 3rd world poverty ) Never in the history of British social inequality, has so much harm been inflicted on so many, by so few… mayors! Make councils accountable for their spending with public consultation!. I cannot believe the Tories are bragging about 0.2% growth in 2028 to 2029, how was this something to be proud of? Accounting for population growth this is most likely a fall in GDP per capita.

  2. The amount of tax and National insurance we pay at the moment is a joke, Iโ€™m paying tax for things I personally donโ€™t even use and I donโ€™t see why I should

  3. The British govern ment is as corr upt as it gets, the amount of money they take off good hard working people is a joke, we already pay tax on everything including our local council tax, why should any working person be able to lose up to 50% of their own hard earned money?

  4. โ€˜George Osborn said he would trust you Rachel โ€™ – Oh the guy who led the ideological and economic drive to bring our country to its kneeโ€™s via austerity? And who then became the editor at the evening standard owned by the oligarch who Boris Johnson made a Lord? Cโ€™mon Ranvir think before speak on that one, or is a continuation of austerity something you would like to see as it wonโ€™t effect you on your wage?!

  5. The only way to abolish NI contributions is to privatise the NHS, meaning we will pay even more in health insurance, and leaving the old, sick and disabled to the elements. Do we want civilisation or have we devolved into savages?

  6. This has been planned for decades well before Covid they have always wanted to privatise the NHS it more or less already is but they have still been taking our NHS contributions.. we pay contributions but we still have to pay for dental treatment ๐Ÿ˜‚โ€ฆ here comes the Barack Obama where youโ€™ll have to pay to hold your own baby after giving birth ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚thts if they havent made everybody infertile already!!โ€ฆ. Cost ya extra that willโ€ฆ when are the rest gonna wake upโ€ฆ half of the Americans are that asleep they plan on voting for Biden again !! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Richard Branson has shares in majority of our NHSโ€ฆ and America own most of it โ€ฆ

  7. missing the point there's a general election this year they are bringing in the non dom thing in 2 years, the Tories wont be in power in 2 years will they so what they have done here is just tell lies to get votes then when they get votes they will make a u turn on non dom policy never trust a bunch of liars common sense says we should elect a new government now before its to late, as for national ins , abolish that and you end up paying insurance at a higher amount, because your hospital fees will be private through private company's, now we know they want to privatize the nhs so this is the way they will do it by abolishing national insurance its a farce and election ploy which will not work, i think the people of this country have more sense than to trust these people again

  8. Both the Tory and Labour Parties have no interest in the People of this Country. Only thing they are interested in is Money, Profit and Wasting it. They dont give a fig about NHS waiting lists because they dont use the NHS. They dont care about Social Care. Crime, Our Culture and Our Societies, Both support Legal and illegal imigration because it Reduces the GDP Figures and increases how much they can Borrow. Which also provides Cheap Labour. Like George said Both are Cheeks on the same Backside

  9. Oh shut labour are hypocrites trying to ride on the back of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine to political point score. Under the circumstance it's a pretty good budget and labour know it'.

  10. Do the maths, if they cut every type of tax what is left? The confirmation that the govt is there as an extension of the Norman structure the bosses and the peasants locked in to built in inequality. If you come from a system that educates you to other people and diminish those who werent educated at the top schools of priviledge where children are told they are special and different and monied and are protected from the vagaries of financial instability . Meanwhile how about the parents who leave their young children at the door of these elite establishments which arrests their empathy and personalities, how can we expect anything better, in other words they become what the system wants greedy, and corrupt, seeing those who could benefit from an equal society as an existential threat.

  11. People that don't realise need to catch up.

    The NHS has been under attack for over a decade. It is deliberately being under-funded so that the general population get angry and agree with privatisation.

    Going private will bankrupt the majority of people that need meds and care.

    Do not fall for this trap. Demand at every opportunity you get, to keep the NHS.
