@paynelesor3940 Год назад

Easing the burden of taxation is NOT the way you solve a recession... It exacerbates the issue. The government giving people money to grow the economy doesn't and cannot work whilst the country aims to tackle the issue of a recession. Increasing Tax on the upper echelon of society, and the companies who reap billions in profit is the only sure fire way to ensure peoples hip pockets aren't affected. Increasing taxation of these groups is the only way to ensure the government can maintain its spending without moving into an economic depression. Pull your thumb out, stop voting Tory, stop voting Conservative and hold them accountable to the damages they've already caused during their tenure.

@MrManny075 Год назад

Inflation happens because too much money was created during the lockdown, and now the government need to get it out of the system inflation is doing that for the government, raising interest also does that, raising taxes also does that, and lowering the taxes will work against the BOE interest rate rise, People having money doesn't create growth because the pound is weak against the dollar that means import is expensive, also that means the UK government will say goodbye to the dollar reserves, the only way out is a long recession and Austerity anything that come in will not go out the government owe the majority of the debt to itself

@chrissilver7719 Год назад

Public ownership of public utilities and then the government can simply control the energy prices and that would also stem inflation. You simply buy back shares at their original value plus 5% you simply reinvest the profit. If brexit was about taking back control why do you have foreign ownership of our essential services electricity, water and trains.

@johnhartlepool2349 Год назад

Tax cuts will not assist people on UC or people who don't earn enough to pay tax in the first place and those are among the people who need most help. Totally agree England needs to waken up and stop voting for Tories. After this shower anyone who votes Tory should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

@apezzero Год назад

Fully agree. Tories have deliberately choose to rob poor and pay more to rich with their blind ideologies. Economy does not grow by not increasing the incomes of 80% of those in work who are largely in public sectors.

Deliberately make a section of a population poor without once admitting responsibility then you have in place a warning to everyone else that is what will happen to you if you challenge those in power.

Don't forget the Tories initially railed against the idea put forward by Labour that there should be a price cap, However as soon as they got into power one was introduced but actually it is just a sop to help out the industry. one would imagine that in a capitalist world prices could be anything a company deemed but the cap price is the maximum, This aids competition, great. But now the cap is the price so the Big 6 are all together.

Boris’s Brexit promise was of cheaper gas! He and his cronies (which included Ian Duncan Smith) should be asked about that promise.

@@leehighland5435 Can you expand on this? In my head electric use won’t go down all that much because people are already using as little as possible, or they’re rich enough to not care. The poor will go into debt because they can’t afford the base amount of electric they need to live, so will have to borrow from the electric companies. Also, food production going down because people can’t afford food means people are dying or not eating enough to live a healthy life style. I mean, sure, we’ll need to produce less food overall, but it’s over the graves of the starved. In both cases it’s the poor who suffer for the middle and higher class.
