@CatharineHoey @DefundBBC So if I've got this right - if I stream a livestream of my goldfish on youtube, it's illegal to watch it in the UK, unless you have paid your tv tax to the the UK government?

Is the BBC really worth the current licence fee never mind the coming increase ? It really is outrageous that in 2026 we cannot choose to watch other channels who get their funding from advertising without having to pay the BBC. It really is time to @DefundBBC

The tread of a screw is cut with a die, not a tap. A tap is used to cut the tread of a nut, ie the female thread, so the question was incorrect.

@oelma__ Taxing people's pension contributions, so they pay less into their pension fund, making them more dependent on the state in old age!

There's a line every Chancellor knows they cannot cross: you do not invent a crisis to plunder the public purse. Rachel Reeves didn't cross the line – she erased it. The facts are clear. On 31 October, the OBR told her she had £4.2 billion of headroom. No black hole. No fiscal cliff. No looming disaster. Yet on 4 November she strode out and spoke as if Britain were teetering on collapse, as if some unseen storm had torn through the nation's books. She talked of "difficult choices," of "consequences," of a shortfall she knew was fiction. That wasn't a slip of the tongue. It was a deliberate lie.
She didn't raise taxes because she had to. She raised them because she wanted to. She froze thresholds, dragged almost a million more people into higher-rate tax, and cooked up the biggest stealth raid in modern times. All of it hidden behind a phantom crisis. The black hole was political theatre, designed to shield a welfare splurge aimed at pacifying Labour's restless backbenches. The story of a collapsing budget was nothing more than an alibi, and a clumsy one at that.
Once you strip away the noise, the truth is plain: Reeves lied to the public so she could tighten her grip on their money. She even blamed Brexit, the Tories, inflation, global instability – anything except her own choices. And when the OBR published the timeline that exposed her, the Treasury lashed out, accusing the watchdog of breaching some sacred "private space." It was an act of panic. The OBR didn't breach anything. It blew the whistle. The only thing the Treasury wanted to protect was the lie.
A Chancellor's authority rests on trust. She signs off every tax a family pays. She shapes the numbers that steer the markets. When that figure misleads the country about the state of its finances, the entire system is tainted. Every forecast becomes suspect. Every Budget becomes theatre. Every future tax rise is greeted with the question she fears most: what are you hiding this time? You cannot run a credible economy when the Chancellor has debased her own currency – the truth.
Even Labour MPs can see it. Graham Stringer says the whole justification for the pain has melted away "like snow on a spring day." Others mutter that "it all looks a bit odd." When your own side begins edging away from you, the dam has already cracked. Kemi Badenoch is right to call for her resignation. Mel Stride is right to say she misled the country. And the public – those who will now pay more on their wages, their savings, their pensions, their fuel – can see the pattern for what it is.
This isn't a one-off error. It is the first real glimpse of how this government works: panic the country, raid its pockets, and hope no one spots the join. Reeves didn't inherit chaos. She manufactured it. She should go. If she stays, it tells Britain that dishonesty is no longer a scandal in government but standard practice. A free people cannot accept that. A country built on plain dealing cannot live under a Chancellor who treats truth as a prop and the public as marks.
Reeves should resign because the office she holds demands honesty, not stagecraft. And because a nation cannot build a future on a lie.
"Reeves didn't inherit chaos. She manufactured it. She should go. If she stays, it tells Britain that dishonesty is no longer a scandal in government but standard practice."

@Wakethefitup "Vote Reform - get a privatised NHS, which means we're ALL gonna pay for it"
Aren't we all paying for it anyway? Oh, no, I forgot 10% of us are paying for it. And 90% are scrounging it for free!

Vote Reform - get criminals
Vote Reform - get Russian interference
