I understand the industry you work in is on the receiving end of the increase in the minimum wage.
I hope it provides you that little extra that makes all the difference.
You’ve claimed an outcome, that hasn’t happened.
As you’ve run a business, but never tell us what business, you might not know, more money in the pockets of your customers means more business for business owners.
Let’s make a distinction.
Predictions of outcomes from a rightwing mouthpiece are not actual outcomes.
We know the budget increased taxes on the very rich, the news papers and media they own hasn’t stopped bleating about it.
Why those who are themselves not subject to these taxes are bleating about it is a mystery, well apart from they are parroting what those same newspapers and media are telling the to parrot.
Your outrage over taxes you aren’t paying is an odd thing.
You also seem to have missed the fact ‘trickle down’ economics doesn’t ‘trickle down’.
Increasing the incomes of people on low incomes does grow the economy, they spend their money and do not stuff it off shore.
Perhaps Labour should reduce the minimum wage and slash the wages of people working in the public sector to below the tax threshold.
They could then claim to have reduced taxes on working people.
Oh hell.
People earning money over the tax threshold pay taxes in their incomes over the tax threshold.
These people’s taxes haven’t increased, their incomes have increased to the point where they get to pay a little bit of tax but are overall better off.
Much better to keep them poor for their own good eh?!
Millions of people in the UK are paying significantly higher mortgage interest as a direct result of Tory ineptitude, a Tory budget that pushed the U.K. economy into otherwise unnecessary interest hikes.
Tory PM Truss buried the lie of Tory fiscal responsibility.
I doubt he was talking about people at the very bottom of the pay heap, those in need of Government subsidies to meet their living costs.
Subsidies paid out of taxes that are actually subsidizing businesses paying low wages.
