At what point do we stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and start asking where all of our tax money is going.

Higher wages = more income tax
Higher wages = more employee NI
Higher wages = more employer NI
Higher wages = higher consumer prices = higher consumer tax (VAT).
They don’t do it to line your pockets.

An increase to £13.20p/h equates to a minimum wage of £27,456, based on a 40 hour week.
Once you factor in employers NI and basic pension contributions, the MINIMUM cost to hire a 21 year old for a company would be £31,461.
This is before you factor in any overarching business costs like office space, laptops, phone, software, training, support staff, vehicles etc.
This is going to be devastating to SME's who cant put together a simple 12 month budget without the goalposts being moved & their margins squeezed.
It'll also be catastrophic to youngsters opportunities because businesses will simply not be able to afford to hire them.
What's also incredible is that anything above £50,270 is seen as 'high earnings' in the UK and is taxed at 40%!
We are governed by financially and economically illiterate morons.
This will not end well.

From a Facebook Group, Yorkshire Humour.
⚠️ A Sheffield man has praised Andy Burnham's new Google Maps fuel price feature after managing to save a whopping £1.60 on a tank of petrol! 😲
33 year old Phillip Patel spotted a petrol station selling fuel 4p a litre cheaper than his local garage and immediately made the 3 mile journey to fill up his tank!
After completing the 6 mile round trip, the delighted motorist worked out that he'd spent 95p on petrol getting there and back, leaving him with a net saving of 65p! 🥂
To celebrate his newfound wealth, Phil treated himself to a Freddo bar. A luxury purchase he admits he probably wouldn't have made had it not been for the Fuel Map.

Heathrow’s third runway will now be delayed until 2039. China has built more than 100 airports in the last 25 years.
Britain is truly a broken country, we can’t build or do anything.
Only Reform will reverse our third-world decline.

Oh, we're trying to try that line again, are we, lads?

Speaking of "sugar daddies," Lord Alli gave Angela Rayner:
£3,550 in work clothes in June 2024.
£50,000 in January 2020 towards her campaign to become Labour deputy leader.
Allowed her to use his New York flat for five nights.
Angela doesn’t mind some "sugar daddies".

Since 2010, the established parties have taken nearly £1 billion in donations, and handed out dozens of peerages in return.
In their first year, Labour handed out £138 million of government contracts to their donors. The Tories are just as bad.
You know what Ben Delo and Christopher Harborne want?
Nothing. Just a government that will fix Britain.
And that's what Reform UK will deliver.
I'm proud to have the support of some of Britain's most successful entrepreneurs.

Bowen’s first goal would have been a 7 minute VAR check to see if the defender deliberately played it back. Then if not deliberate, to see if Pablo got a touch. VAR would then have disallowed it for unclear reasons. Instead the ref gave it and people celebrated. Revolutionary.

The threat level against the country continues to grow yet the Burnham government has told the British Army to cease major exercises with Challenger 2 tanks and Apache gunships to save money.
Our Bus-Conductor-in-Chief can find money for all sorts of gimmicks that allow him to play to the gallery. But not for essential defence spending. Unforgivable.
