You need to ask the Chancellor, not me, as she is the one who said it!

 

PS; The clue is in her phrase "her tax-raising Budget"!

 

PPS;  Please do not respond for my benefit as I will just ignore it!

Yep some taxes went up, this thread is discussing one of them.

 

But taxes on working people did not go up.

 

Was that a flounce I wonder?

  • Whoever would have thought that increasing costs to business would force them to pass these costs onto the customers, therefore increasing the cost of living for the lowest paid people in the country

  • Nice one Keir. The weekly shop will go  up in price for the uk citizens.    But  free for all the illegals in hotels all around the uk.  Labour government,   forging ahead.

    @James105 - totally agree.  But... In the latest figures I can see, Sainsburys made a profit of over £500m in a 28-week period.  These leeches can well afford this extra tax without passing it on

Was that docu from the 70's ?
 

Todays estimates are anywhere between £5 million  to £30 milion a day.

 

The true figure will never be revealed, as it is apparently not in the public interest.

 

Give it 6 months for things to work through the system and

 

* Unemployment starts rising

 

* Inflation starts rising

 

* Over 1000 new arrivals continue to arrive on a weekly basis

 

* Power Companies are already sending out ' What to do in a blackout ' leaflets

 

* The Chancellors tax raising measures do not came anywhere near raising the tax she expects

 

You can probably guess the rest.

And if it doesn’t you’ll hope that in the interim 6 months we’ve all forgotten your  predictions, which I expect t you’ll only replace with more.

James Smith, research director at the Resolution Foundation think tank which aims to improve living standards for low-to-middle income families, agreed.

"Even if it doesn't show up in pay packets from day one, it will eventually feed through to lower wages," he said.

"This is definitely a tax on working people, let's be very clear about that."

More playing fast but not fast enough

Labour promised not to raise taxes for working people.

 

Taxes have not been raised for working people.

It looks like some working people will have the burden of paying taxed taken away. Those others that will be paying tax on salaries bereft of rises will be paying more for essentials. 

 

I'm sure they'll be so pleased tax hasn't risen for working people. That said, Kier and his buddies don't seem to be able to agree on the definition of "working people".

You have a good point.

 

During the energy crisis Labour did suggest windfall taxes on energy companies.

 

The Tories chose to protect energy windfall profits with tax funded subsidies to consumers.

 

EDL, who you mention, were subject to price controls in their home county.

 

So while I don’t know when Labour will tax windfall profits, I fully expect t them to do so if windfall profits are made at cost to consumers.

In your twisted pedantic mind!

 

Just answer a simple question, which the chancellor has already made;  (Reeves accepts tax-raising Budget likely to hit wage growth for workers - BBC News)

 

Is the average worker losing money because of the budget?

 

PS; We are not talking about minimum wages!

Not at the moment no.

 

Snd no there have been no tax increases for working people, as per the Labour Manifesto.


And by the way, average worker losing money but you don’t want to talk about minimum wage increases….

Sainsbury have an annual sales revenue of around £32.08 Billion.

 

£140 million represents 0.436% of their sales revenue.

 

Go on tell me that’s a big hit to inflation.

I was wondering if you were an idiot based upon your previous posts but now I've decided.

One more time.

 

You quoted my comment and said " Yet more references to mythical taxes."

 

Please show what taxes I mentioned that you believe to be mythical. That is, taxes I mentioned in the comment you quoted. 

 

If you can't, which I know you can't as I didn't even mention taxes, it just goes to show you are talking bo%%@ks. Not that that is particularly surprising.

No, the accurate description. 

 

Sainsburys profit is equivalent to a whopping 2% of sales. 

 

Oh, and they pay tax on that 2%. You are clearly a financial illiterate.
