@ToryRebuttal There was a BBC broadcast in 1999 or 2000, I forget where it was basically an hour of solid justification by Tony Blair for hiking spending, and getting the public on board, I keep trying to find it, but I swear that is the exact point it all went wrong. I'm determined to find it

It's going to be thin gruel for years even if all Labour's plans work.
We need a different direction, this ain't it.

The last parliament, including a pandemic and cost of living crisis, saw per capita disposable household income rise by just 0.3% per year. But the forecast for the current parliament suggests that it will be the second worst on record for household incomes. #Budget2024

@ToryRebuttal In the 90's all I remember is tax dropping almost every budget, duties frozen, budgets were generally a great occasion where the worst thing you had to do was fill up your tank the night before. We got left alone and the country got richer.

@the_vp6 I wonder what year GDP per capita will match with the end of this Parliament? 2005? 1999? Earlier?

@davidwhitelab @s8mb £40bn / 21m working households = £1,904.
Pretty accurate prediction.

🚨 NEW: Beth Rigby says Jeremy Corbyn was "full fat" on tax and spend and asks Rachel Reeves if she is "half fat"
Reeves: "Well no one has ever compared me to Jeremy Corbyn before, I stood down from his Shadow Cabinet because I disagreed with everything he was doing"

@Summers_AD That isn't what the treasury said, they said in 25/26 of the 3,000 estates will be unaffected and 2,000 affected.
The actual facts are here (not in a tweet);

Fact alert: Only 200 estates per year claim more than £1 million in Agricultural Relief, and they had an average estate value of £6 million. The other c.1000 estates per year that claim AR wouldn't be affected by the cap.
All the facts on IHT you could possibly want in this recent @CenTaxUK report centax.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

Pasty tax alert... If I had to pick one tax change today that will unravel it's the £1m limit to agricultural property relief in IHT. Most small family farms are worth more than that, not that the farmers want to sell them, but they will now be unable to pass the farm on.

@andyverity For somebody who 'busts myths' can you not see that graph does not include any second order effects of increasing employers NI? The OBR say 76% of that is passed on through lower wages, and the rest through higher prices.
Do better.

Did you expect a Labour government to hit the rich? Because that's what they're doing, according to an analysis by the Treasury of the impact on households of today's Budget measures. Top tenth lose on average more than £1,200 a year - whereas everyone else gains round £600:
English
@willglloyd Try getting your head around the words "second order effects".
When the government add costs to businesses they pass it on through lower wages and higher prices.
The losers here will be anybody who is paid by wages.
English
Just not true though is it
Conservatives@Conservatives
CONFIRMED: Labour’s budget of broken promises has just raised taxes on working people.
English
@financial_shaw Reductions in build-to-let properties coming to the market will reduce supply and increase prices, yo need to stop pretending that the taxation and regulation does anything other than increase prices in a market.

Increasing stamp duty additional tax on second homes to 5% from tomorrow #Budget2024
Thank fuck for that. Give FTBs less competition
Beautiful. And don’t start with the bleeding hearted landlord stories about delivering housing or any of that shite.

@BurnsideWasTosh @Enchanter4life 110%, they need punishing for voting Labour.

If you have to get a pay rise not from the fruits of your labour but because the government demand it, you don't deserve the job.

If you cannot afford to pay the National Minimum Wage then you should not be in business. It really is as simple as that.

@NotHaryan It's not that I think they are irrelevant, they are serving a purpose, I just think they will be irrelevant when the next election comes around. I don't see anything new.

@Ye_Olde_Holborn Make sure you accrue those tax credits against corporation tax if your company loses money because of the extortionate loan it's been provided 👍

I could lend my limited company say £50K at 10% interest & make it lose £5K a year ~ see how easy this game is?

The market provides solutions to mistakes of the government.
Paul Johnson@PJTheEconomist
I'm not sure I understand choice to get so much of the employer NIC increase by cutting the threshold. It hits employers of the low paid much harder than others. Put alongside big rises in minimum wage and costs of employing low earners will rise a lot.

@AlexioSmithos @ACORNunion Be sure to tip your landlord and send him a Christmas card, just to show appreciation for all his hard work 👍
English
@the_vp6 @ACORNunion That's why landlords are some of the most loved and valued members of society.

Looks like I will be holding cash for the next year or so before investing it, get a decent return and wait for property prices to decline.

Gilt selloff immediately after budget has pushed yields back up. Bad news for mortgage rates if they stay up there. Also, chances of another interest rate cut now very small in my view, given the OBR inflation forecast for next year.
