The Tories wasted multiple billions upon billions upon billions on everthing under the sun and yet they intend targeting the poor on benefits.

Hunt is a twisted man. I saw him yesterday as he grinned for the cameras and he doesn't look all there.

Gusto
we are stuck with him.

He says crazy things
Saying by December 2025..............

But that is after a General Election

Sky News Text:
[Campaign groups have warned Chancellor
Jeremy Hunt he will not be forgiven by
pensioners if he "fiddles" with the triple lock
and fails to raise the state pension
by 8.5%, the Daily Express reports]

All media
is saying some Tax will be cut
on Wednesday?

Labour keeps going on about proper growth is needed.

Off Topic,
Because the top of the Metro
Has the very sad story of Little Hallie
Such a Powerful photo

I found a link

BBC News Text:
[The Daily Telegraph describes the plan
as a "Thatcherite tax-cutting drive" - a reference to
former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who
favoured reduced income tax rates during
her tenure at No 10 in the 1980s.
The paper says the current PM has been
considering plans to cut National Insurance,
raise the 40% income tax threshold and reduce
inheritance tax.
An image of Mr Sunak with his
chancellor, Jeremy Hunt,
also makes the front page.]

[The paper's main story is about the
government's plans, expected to be
announced in the Autumn Statement,
which it says include cutting the welfare bill
and "forcing more benefit claimants to look for jobs".]

April 2024

National Living Wage
to go up £1.02p

Ref: All media

Sunak said today he'll MAKE disabled people work from home.:fist:

In what jobs? Who's going to hire?

Nothing is said in this respect.:fist: It's all BS.

Yes
it is going to get worse
for some very disabled folks

There will be a national insurance tax cut of 1% which is worth about £3-400 a year.

It's not enough for people on the lowest wage

It was pitiful seeing all these brain dead Tories talking about the Autumn statement and how great Hunt has been as Chancellor.

The state this country is in through them, they have a bloody cheek to say things are getting better.

In any other country and in any other century these Tories would have been strung up from trees. They waste OUR money and say we have to pay for it.:fist:

The British people will aceept anything. I blame them as much as the Tories,:nono:

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt

Now Live, All media

lets pretend to cut taxes for the next election

Very True.

Now Labour Moans

What is in Jeremy Hunt's
Autumn Statement?




[National insurance cut: £5bn a year

The headline rate for employees is being
reduced from 12% to 10%, putting more
hundreds of pounds in the pockets
of 27million Brits.

For the self-employed, Class 2 contributions
are being abolished and Class 4 contributions
reduced from 9 per cent to 8 per cent.

Making 'full expensing' permanent: £10bn a year

Businesses have been benefiting from rules
that mean they can claim back tax
on investment in plant and machinery.

That is due to end in 2026, but Jeremy Hunt
is set to make it permanent.

State pension to rise 8.5%: £2bn

The Chancellor is sticking to the triple lock
that ensures pensions rise by the highest
out of inflation, average earnings or 2.5%.

There had been speculation a lower level
could be used due to NHS pay deals
warping the numbers.

Benefits to rise 6.7%: £3bn

Mr Hunt had considered increasing benefits
by the lower October inflation figure of 4.6 per cent,
rather than the September number usually used.

However, he has opted to stick with convention
and push for more people to re-enter the workplace.

Living wage to rise to £11.44: n/a

The national living wage will rise by 9.8% to £11.44 in April.

The rate is currently £10.42 for workers aged
over 23, but the new figure will apply to
21 and 22-year-olds for the first time.]

The problem is
we are Flatlining.

No Growth.

One From 2020

PM Sunak was the Chancellor

This utter BS coming from Hunt and the government to get the long term unemployed and disabled on benefits 'back to work'.

Most of them have never been in work to go back to it.

And what are these jobs they're going to do?Hunt said work from home. Work for who? Where are these jobs??? Who hires?

No mention of it. And what if these people fail at the job. Are they fired, or they entitled to go back on benefits? The whole thing is ill thought out and makes no sense. You can't force people to work for an employer. Who wants to hire someone who doesn't want to be there or do the job. And are they qualified to do the job????

Madness.
