This Rachel Reeves Budget has absolutely done my head in. It’s like they have sat down in a room and said “How can we make life harder for normal, hard working people?” And then ticked every box.
Freezing income tax and NI thresholds? That’s basically a stealth tax on grafters. You work harder, get a tiny pay rise, and then government grabs it before it even hits ya bank. Then she whacks businesses right in the bollex by gutting the pension salary sacrifice benefit, so companies have to cough up more just to offer staff a basic pension. Punishing you for trying to do the right thing.
They really want people to not work and stay indoors on the system. It’s madness.
The people actually trying to build something…. Like run a cafe, a market stall, a gym, a shop, a small manufacturing firms a builder, a plumber, the black cab drivers and so many more hard working people are being squeezed from every angle. Higher wages, higher taxes, more pension costs, more rules, more pressure… and less support. We should be making it more attractive for businesses. Not scaring them off to move their money abroad.
If Labour actually cared and actually wanted this country to thrive and do well again they would Cut taxes so hardworking people keep more of their own money and support small businesses properly. We gotta make Britain attractive again to invest in. Give stability, Small businesses are the backbone of this country. They’re the people up at the crack of dawn keeping this country going. Making jobs for people. Supporting local economies. Not sitting back waiting for a handout. Why do we get punished to cover the cost of all these poxy handouts!!
It’s about time someone called it all out. In fact that’s just what I’m gonna do. When the small businesses dry up and stop paying their taxes and start losing money. The country will fall apart. Some people don’t realise how important they are!
Bosh❤️
