How about letting peope get on with the sensible discussion we are having. Instead of chipping in with comments designed to cause arguments.
This. Pretty much universal agreement this is a good, steady and calm budget. Let’s just enjoy this small win together for now.But maybe not stir the pot on this one? It’s a very rare civilised political debate on NSC
Budget thread is decent because budget is decent. I could bounce any number of comments on here claiming it wouldn't be, which is exactly what would happen on a football thread, but I'm sure people can find them for themselves. I've got work to do and a pub and match to get to.How about letting peope get on with the sensible discussion we are having. Instead of chipping in with comments designed to cause arguments.
You’re a moderator. It would be nice to see you take the higher ground in some discussions, for the sake of harmony.
That’s not a personal attack, I like the vast majority of your input here. But maybe not stir the pot on this one? It’s a very rare civilised political debate on NSC
Overall a good budget, well played Ms ReevesFair play the CGT rise is reasonable and sensible. Proportionate.
Ers NI though will inevitably hit jobs. Just depends if growth is significant enough to mitigate it.
Enjoy the match and have a pint for me, I’m on shift later
I don't think you have needed to run a business or started one, to know that increases in the minimum wage, employers national insurance rates, and increases in CGT would impact inflation, job opportunities and investment, just an understanding of economics would tell you.
But we do have a chancellor who obtained a philospy, politics and economics degree from Oxford, a Masters from LSE and worked at the BoE. I reckon she knows a thing or two, both thererical and practical, about finance.
you would think so. However I’ve heard rumours that she skived off most days.
I've pointed out before that this isn't quite correct. Local Authorities will have to pay the extra NI. They don't get automatic increased funds from central government to pay for it. So, they way they will manage increased costs is to reduce staffing.
This isn't true either. The vast majority of planning applications get passed. The job of planning officers is to ensure that they fit and meet the requirements and so on. There are hundreds and hundreds of developments that have been given permission by planning officers that have not been built.
I’ve got a son who graduated earlier this year with a First in Business and Management and has missed his bus to his new job twice this week
Congratulations on his first and just as importantly his job. Maybe advise him to buy a bicycle with his first pay packet?I’ve got a son who graduated earlier this year with a First in Business and Management and has missed his bus to his new job twice this week
I mean, do people still think that was a serious note? If it helps, watch The Big Short, Margin Call or other documentaries on the subject of the Global Financial Crash. You might find interesting, and if not Margot Robbie is in the Big Short.
Mmm first i have to remind him of the benefits of breathing i think
I'm sure she does - and I think the budget was a good one - I'd actually have increased fuel duty to pay for keeping the £2 bus fare, more attention to social care,- but I think my point stands when it comes to experience in business/start ups.
