[Ethelwulf]

Least that will be c unts last budget . The wankers are down to 20 per cent in the polls and a blood bath worse than 1997 awaits

I really hope the tories get under 100 seats and labour then brings in PR which will mean no more tories ever

Jeremy Hunt has privately admitted to colleagues that he cannot further raise the VAT threshold for UK businesses because of EU rules.

The chancellor announced in his budget on Wednesday that businesses would no longer have to pay VAT if they had a turnover of less than £90,000, an increase from the previous threshold of £85,000.


Hunt told multiple MPs ahead of the budget that £90,000 was the highest he could raise the threshold because of the Northern Ireland protocol agreed with the EU.

They must still go for another one in the Autumn, just to try and completely burn down the house on the way out.

Interesting the UK ISA idea, post Brexit investment has dried up in the UK and our stockmarket has become the world's laggard underperform almost every developed world index.

But it only really applies if an investor has already filled up their £20k standard ISA and now is entitled to £5k extra provided they invest in the UK. It should be the first £5k of any ISA must be UK, and then you get another £20k. Interesting non-patriotic line from the Telegraph (maybe they're really really upset about the non-dom rule)..

Great British Isa could leave investors £30,000 worse off

Homegrown stocks are not performing as well as international counterparts

I’m fed up with people putting Britian down! The stock exchange must be full of far left wokenomics if they don’t value a British ISA enough!

Leave meant leave! Why are we still in the world index! As Farage says, Brexit has not been done properly. If it had have been, we’d be all be a lot better off.

I believe the rule is that because she used Government-headed paper to do it that means the Government, and as such us as the taxpayer, is responsible, and not her personally.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Yeh, so I would ask anyone who's blood isn't already boiling on this, to consider what would happen them if they used their company headed paper to libel someone on a matter unrelated to their work and then got their employer to foot the bill!

Income tax may eventually have to be raised to pay for abolishing national insurance, Jeremy Hunt has suggested the day after delivering the government’s spring budget.

The chancellor spent about £10bn to cut NI by 2p in the budget, and has indicated that the government’s eventual ambition is to scrap the tax entirely.


Asked how he would pay for this, Hunt told Sky News: “We’re not saying that this is going to happen anytime soon, and indeed that’s not the only way that you can end that unfairness of taxing work: you can merge income tax and national insurance.”

"Yes, I am the chancellor, indeed, and I don't really give a f*** about the lower paid, or about this piddly 15k fine caused by Donelan.... nothing much for the tax payer, just suck it up. I will continue in my job with my incredibly irritating smug smile, in the full knowledge that I'm a multi millionaire, with a number of expensive rental properties, and ohh...lovely, somebody just helped landlords a bit in the budget ".

This just shows how their warped minds work.
Wasn't it £15,000 each to the two libelled academics?

Dig a ditch….

I saw the lovely Rachel Reeves accusing the TORIES of playing fast and loose with the public finances. You can play fast if you wish, you may also wish to play loose bt to do both is an unforgivable sin.

Mealy mouther obfuscators the lot of them. Total lack of integrity in anything they do.

Shameful and scandalous antics, it absolutely stinks

Goodness me ..

"A document from Prevent, the official scheme to stop radicalisation, includes believing in socialism, communism, anti-fascism and anti-abortion in a list of potential signs of ideologies leading to terrorism.

It comes as the Conservative government considers widening what it will consider to be extremism.


The document is part of online Prevent awareness training for those covered by the duty to inform if they suspect radicalisation. That includes teachers and youth workers."

The former prime minister Theresa May will step down as an MP at the next general election after 27 years in parliament.

In a statement to the Maidenhead Advertiser, the Maidenhead MP said she wanted to focus on causes close to her heart, including her work on the Global Commission on Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.

May, who was first elected in 1997, said: “It has been an honour and a privilege to serve everyone in the Maidenhead constituency as the MP for the last 27 years.
