I said it years ago, and I’m proving it today: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. We will no longer force those who work to pay the bills of lazy parasites.

Rachel Reeves blaming forecourts is pure deflection. At 160p per litre: Tax: 80p Forecourt profit: 7p The government takes over 50%, which is around 10x more than forecourts. But somehow it’s the petrol stations fault? The public can see straight through this.

Who’s this Luis Henrique guy man? His style of play reminds me of Neymar, he roasted france defenders when he came on & even bagged an assist. Wasn’t familiar with his game, fairs. Brazil keeps producing ballers. 😮‍💨

Per below, envy-ridden politics has dominated government since the financial crisis. Result: if you're a net contributor, the country hates you and begrudges you every little pleasure you have. You don't need it, others "need" it, so hand it over. More of it. All of it.

Anglo Futurism Capital LP 🇬🇧🐿️@RollingHedge

Yes. Great point. One for @an0n_Nic The real "working people" are those on >£43-45k. Let me explain… At £43-45k gross, a single person is paying roughly £6,300 income tax, £2,700 employee NICs, their employer pays circa £4,500 employer NICs on their behalf, then perhaps £3,500 in VAT through consumption, circa £2,000 council tax, fuel duty, excise, the cascade of indirect levies. Only then does that person scrape past the crucial £20k mark. That £43-45k figure is the bare minimum at which a taxpayer stops being a net drain on the state. Officially. Unofficially it’s higher. I’ll come back to this. The ONS defines "net recipients" as households receiving more in benefits (including benefits in kind: NHS, education, policing) than they pay in all taxes combined. Already 55% of UK households are net recipients under this framework. Let that one ruminate and stink the gaff out. TME 2025-26: £1,370bn divided by 68.3m population = £20,059 per head. NHS, education, defence, welfare, debt interest, the lot. Bear in mind that population figure is informed by census and DWP data. The real number of bodies consuming services is higher. The Home Office openly concedes it cannot track expired visa holders. The true fiscal drag is significantly worse. Per the official (lowballed) data alone, the three thresholds work out roughly as: Single, no dependants: circa £43,500 gross. One head of spending to cover at £20k. Couple, no dependants: circa £65-67k gross household. Two heads = £40k burden. Family of four: circa £105k gross household. This is the most savage figure of all. Four heads of spending at £20k each = £80k burden, only two earners generating tax revenue. The children consume full public spending (education alone runs circa £7k per head per year) while contributing precisely nothing to the revenue side. You need to be comfortably in the top decile of household income to have two kids and not be a net taker. And it gets worse. If the family of four runs on a single earner, which is to say a father working while the mother raises the children, the breakeven figure does not sit at £105k. It sits north of £135k. And that single earner hits the £100-125k personal allowance taper, where the marginal rate spikes to circa 60-67%. The state actively punishes the very household configuration it should be incentivising. The man trying to support a family on one income is taxed as though he is a luxury. Hosed relentlessly no matter what you do. Now consider. If the excess population above 68.3m is entirely on the consumption side of the ledger, paying no tax, consuming full services, what does that do to the per-capita burden carried by the existing population? The maths is straightforward. TME is fixed at £1,370bn. That money gets spent regardless. The question is how many heads are consuming it. 70m: Burden rises to £20,558 per head. Hidden liability of circa £34bn, roughly £1,200 per household per year. 75m: £22,027 per head. Hidden liability circa £134bn. Approximately £4,700 per household per year. More than double the average council tax bill. Materialising as longer NHS waits, overcrowded classrooms, infrastructure running beyond capacity. 80m: £23,494 per head. Hidden liability circa £235bn. Roughly £8,200 per household per year. A sum larger than most households' entire income tax contribution, socialised silently across the tax base. At 75m a family of four needs north of £120k to break even. At 80m it approaches £140k. The median household is not remotely in contention at any scenario. The £20k figure is itself conservative. Blended TME includes defence and debt interest which do not scale with headcount. The marginal cost of an additional service-consuming resident (NHS, education, housing, policing) is higher than the average. This is how terminally fucked Britain's social contract is. The only answer at this point is to smash the welfare state to bits. @trevgoes4th @ColeFusionHQ @db_fink @HayekAndChips

Restore Britain’s economic policy is about two words - freedom and fairness. We must become globally competitive, all whilst ensuring our own people are the ones feeling the benefits. Open to investment and creating an attractive home to build a business. But currently we are suffering with a broken system that is incredibly uncompetitive, overly complex, and yet amazingly permissive when it comes to the extraction of our wealth. Corporation tax has risen. The regulatory burden has grown. Money flees Britain. We are living in the worst of all worlds. It stinks. We can all feel the unfairness in the air. Billions of pounds generated within the British economy continue to flow out of the country each year through dividends, intra-company transfers, and other shady complex mechanisms - often with limited reinvestment and very often, sod all tax paid. Huge corporates stripping the British economy of its wealth. Under a Restore Britain Government, this will end. This is unfair, this is unsustainable. This is not what we want. It places an ever-greater burden on those who cannot restructure their affairs with expensive accountants or move their income offshore. British workers, British sole traders, and British small business owners. On those who we rely so heavily, the current deal is a crap deal. The global corporates benefit, decent British men and women suffer. It is rotten. Restore Britain takes a very different view. The solution is not to retreat away from proper competition, nor to tax, tax tax. Instead, Britain must become both more competitive and more disciplined - a country that rewards enterprise while insisting on responsibility and fairness for the British people. Firstly. Britain should have the lowest corporation tax rate in Europe. If Britain wishes to attract businesses, create jobs, and generate growth, it must offer a tax environment that is not merely competitive, but leading. Undercut our neighbours. Go for their business. We must be ruthless. Send a powerful signal. Britain is once again serious about growth, serious about enterprise, and serious about rewarding those who build and invest. But this alone is not enough. A low-tax system that is easily exploited does not serve the British people. Any low tax environment must matched by a determination to ensure that wealth generated here contributes fairly to the country in which it is created. Our country. Our economy. Our success. Currently, large volumes of profit are distributed overseas through dividends and complex corporate structures allow for the shifting of profits out of the Britain on an industrial scale. This is morally wrong. Restore Britain would address this imbalance directly and unashamedly. We would introduce fair and proportionate withholding taxes on dividends paid to overseas shareholders, ensuring that profits generated in Britain deliver a reasonable return to the British economy. Not shifted off to some low-tax paradise, stripping the British economy of its own wealth and rewards. Restore Britain would tighten the rules around profit-shifting and complex offshore arrangements, closing loopholes that exist purely to sneak money out of Britain. All of this would be paired with a system that actively encourages reinvestment so that the incentive to do this would be lower and lower. There would be no need to extract wealth to a low tax environment, because Britain would be that low tax environment. Businesses that retain profits in the UK investing in jobs, infrastructure, research, and expansion should benefit from a simpler, more favourable tax regime. If you want to contribute to our economy and infrastructure, you will be rewarded for doing so. The five golden rules of business. What’s. In. It. For. Me. Restore Britain’s objective is not to penalise success, but to align business incentives with the long-term interests of the country. This is not complicated, it really isn’t. For too long, the debate has been framed as a binary choice between being pro-business or pro-fairness. We disagree. Britain can and should be both. A country that attracts investment and rewards enterprise - but also one that ensures that the benefits of that growth are not systematically and deliberately extracted elsewhere to benefit foreign people and foreign lands. If wealth is created in Britain, a fair share of it should remain in Britain - supporting local economies, from which our country’s success will flow. Restore Britain will build an economy that does not work only for those who can freely move their untaxed money across borders, but for those who live, work, and raise families in our country. Those who want an economy built on low, but fair, taxation - there is now a political party you can support. Restore Britain.

So you price young people out of the labour market with huge rises in the minimum wage and national insurance. Then you subsidise employers to employ young people. Government is brilliant. Simply brilliant.

This chart is the reason why every single socialist must be laughed at and shamed over and over. A wealthy nation tried socialism and destroyed its economy - Venzeuela. A socialist country tried capitalism and created prosperity - Poland. Socialists, all of them, are fundamentally stupid people. They have a childish approach to economics, ideologically stuck to an idea WHICH CAN'T WORK and has NEVER WORKED. Despite the wealth of evidence through the entirety of history, they stick to this stupid idea - an idea which creates poverty, misery and death. Why? Because they can't get their stupid heads around the idea that some people get rich. Shame them, over and over, laugh in their faces and shame their stupidity.

Fuel duty should not be a thing. A third of the cost of a tank of fuel is fuel duty. Almost a fifth of the cost is VAT (tax). Less than half of the cost is the actual fuel. We are not in a cost of energy crisis - we are in a taxation crisis.
