@Essex_Patriot It doesn’t mean you work 4 months for nothing. 40% tax is applied over a threshold.
Taxes are far too high but don’t talk shit

YOU KNOW WHAT'S INSANE?
If you're on a 40% tax rate, you're handing over 40p of every £1 you earn.
That means.
JANUARY. FEBRUARY. MARCH. APRIL.
You're working 4+ months a year just to pay the government.
But that's just income tax.
Now add:
VAT on almost everything you buy
Vehicle tax & licence fees
- Council tax & land tax
- Fuel duty & road tolls
- Stamp duty, insurance taxes, "luxury" levies.
When you add it all up, if you earn £100k, you're likely working 5-6+ months a year just to cover taxes.
That's half your year gone before you even see a pound for yourself.

@justjdthanks @BladeoftheS 100%.. I’d say everyone needs a water proof phone? Who wants a water damaged phone?😂

@spindicator @BladeoftheS 'Worth' vs cost, people do their own research and make their own decision🤷♂️ Anyway, I'll ask again, and you can ignore again...what % users need a waterproof phone. If they want to pay for stuff they don't need that's on them, no?

We are getting a grip of the finances after the Truss market crash and Sunak recession.
Much more to do.

Polanski's Green Party plans to give migrants Universal Basic Income of up to £1,600 a month in a scheme critics brand 'madness'. Which would cost taxpayers £19 billion a year.
Illegal migrants would be given a regular cash payment by British taxpayers without needing to become citizens, under plans drawn up by the Green Party. Documents reveal that the left-wing outfit, currently polling at 18%, would hand a monthly payment of up to £1,600, called Universal Basic Income (UBI), to anyone in the country without settled status, or who have a non-visitor visa.

Excellent news.
Ultimately means more money for public services, and a better ability to withstand global economic shocks.

@rawespresso Most pensioners will own a house and also have private pension?
The pension bill already makes up most of the welfare budget? What do we do?
Pensions are paid by taxpayers. Government already spends more than what it receives
