Been leaked the NMW is going up 4% to £13 an hour.
Non funded from the government but they will be expectingxtra taxes coming in.
Can see employers just cutting staff for the same workload output so they have to work faster/harder. Seen that happen in factory life.

Expect a mega rise in Food Inflation again.
But on the BBC website you Gunna be ok if you eat marmalade n gherkins.
Apparently £21 a year better off.

Ironic how the politicians with their bloated egos, are cockily telling us that they’re increasing the minimum wage, is bollocks.
They aren’t coughing up Jack shit, they’re just making the employers pay.
Politicians never lose face…..they all have two as standard.

They could rake in even more by getting these lazy bastads of massive benefits.
And make them work instead of the luxury life of shirking.

Funny part now is people are getting benefits without ever seeing a doctor, crazy.

If governments can freeze workers wages by freezi g the tax thresholds for 10 years.

They can freeze benefits for 10 years.

Like I previously said being unemployed in the 80's was fucking brutal.

Better than expected.
£100 energy winter payment
Gas Standing Charge to be scrapped sometime next year ( with plans to do the same further down the line wirh Leccy)
No vat on Leccy extended to July
Cash isa limit staying at 20k a year.

Not converting from Reform

Just stating better than expected for now but Inflation will likely wipe out any mini positives from April via higher shop prices and c tax nailed on up by 5%
UTR.

£100 energy winter payment
- Only for those Band A - D.

Gas Standing Charge to be scrapped sometime next year ( with plans to do the same further down the line wirh Leccy)
- Will be added to the charge per unit used.

No vat on Leccy extended to July
- Big deal!

Cash isa limit staying at 20k a year.
- It should have increased due to inflation, as should the tax thresholds.

THIS IS OKAY/BETTER THAN NOTHING, AND MOST PEOPLE LIVE IN THESE BANDS.

Gas Standing Charge to be scrapped sometime next year ( with plans to do the same further down the line wirh Leccy)
- Will be added to the charge per unit used. MY GAS STANDING CHARGE IS .58p A DAY. THROUGH MOST OF THE SUMMER I BARELY USE ANY GAS AT ALL, SO PERSONALLY AS A LOW SUMMER USER I WELCOME THIS, OR THE OPTION TO HAVE IT.

No vat on Leccy extended to July
- Big deal!
BETTER THAN NOTHING. IVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY WE ARE TAXED ON A NECESSITY.

My replies above in capitals.

I agree re tax thresholds, this is the biggest ripoff of them all.

The gas standing charge is worded on the BBC website.
Will be scrapped in 2027(or as soon as possible after).

So maybe /probably 2028
