Pound plummets as UK government announces biggest tax cuts in 50 years
Вставка

- Don't call it a budget - but it is the biggest budget intervention we've seen in decades, largely at odds with what twelve years of Conservative Chancellors have told us.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
The Office of Budget Responsibility was stopped from publishing forecasts it had been working on, so the test of whether it is responsible was largely left to the financial markets.
The Chancellor claims he's unleashing "the power of the private sector".

What a time to be alive for the banksters - tax cuts and bonuses bigger than your entire family will earn in their lifetime.
You expect anything any different from the Tories?
People are going to be rioting. Seriously, in about 2 weeks.
I f*cking hate the central bankers. I still can’t believe that most people don’t realise they’re the problem.
Did you like numpties statement that businesses should invest in automation to cut costs. Costs of the lowest payed working class who rely on those lo skilled jobs to live?
The bankers and executives are to recieve a bigger tax cuts than most UK workers, but they also think the budget wouldn't achieve its goal as the finanical market saw a sudden plummet in pounds following the Chancellor delivered the budget statement in the Commons.They are likey to spend their giant bonuses on London and oversea luxury properties and other investments, which eventually would push up asset and property prices making people harder to get on the property ladder.
"Borrowing your way out of inflation is not a plan, it's a fairy tale" - Rishi Sunak
'Tax the Rich More' is so obviously
the Right Thing to do and yet
the Poor cant grasp that most of the time
cause guess who paid good Money for Propaganda
so 'Tax the Rich' doesnt happen? The Rich, duuuh.
Its so obvious i dont even have Anything to do,
im just gonna be specific once and recommend the Coverage
of Free-Market and Rich-screwing-with-us-all that 'Some More News' and 'Second Thought' made.
Now that fairy tale has turned into a tragedy genre.
Now we are in Doom!

At least he said one true thing.
Thanks, I'm from the UK and all of what's been said is true. People are going through tough times and there is a difficult winter ahead. The biggest problem here is the gas and electric bill's have gone up 400% . Will be sharing this video with friends and families to help them realize and prepare. With inflation currently at about 10%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about £300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no
There are lot of ways to make a killing right now, but such high-volume near impeccable trades can only be carried out by real-time experts with ISDA Agreement. An ISDA agreement; lets investors sit at the “big boys table” and make high level tradess not available to amateurs. Trying to be a high stakes trader without an ISDA is like trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.
@@albacus2400BC Heard it's a good time to buy and basically I've just got cash sitting duck in the bank and I’d really love to put it to good use seeing how inflation is at an all time-high, who is this coach that guides you, mind I look them up?
If you have to pay a lot more for electricity and gasoline and such then you have no money to go out to dinner to buy clothing to travel to go to movies and shows so those businesses suffer and go out of business. Around here in Boston so many businesses, particularly restaurants and bars have gone out of business. but a lot of that had to do with the virus

Rishi Sunak was right. Should have voted him on the basis of his competence.
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.
Yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too
you're right Forex trading is surely a lucrative way to invest whether you want growth, leverage, stable income or something in between.

I've run a local bakery for the last 20 years. It has been wonderful.
It hasnt made me a millionnaire but I employed 30 people and it gave me a good living.
I've had to close my doors last week because getting ingredients from mainland Europe has become too expensive. Delivering is now too expensive and my customers are too frightened to spend extra money on baked goods (I guess they're seen as a luxury) and I can't borrow any more as interest rates have gone through the roof.
Oh and people are skint because of this government's self-inflicted cost of living crisis.
Self inflicted over the course of about 45 years.
We don't produce our own energy. We now (thanks to Tory policy during the 80s) rely on buying energy from abroad.

Borrowing to pay for tax cuts in an inflationary environment, seems like economic suicide. In all of my years, I can't recall seeing anything more irresponsible.
Brexit was far more irresponsible, this can be reversed.
True that. Brexit was based on BS, this is based on greed and stupidity.

Tax cuts for the rich are 2.5 times greater than the annual salary of someone on a low level wage. Completely disgusting
UK Economy under Least Trust will be screwed.
More than 25% of all income tax revenue is paid by the top 1% of taxpayers, i.e. taxpayers with the highest incomes, and 90% of all income tax revenue is paid by the top 50% of taxpayers with the highest incomes.
As such is mear mortals on less than 40k per year are only contributing a total of 10% of all taxes gathered ..so to level the playing field in real terms means we should pay more .. and I for one know I don't wanna be paying more . So let's not level it and we just pay our total combined 10%
you do not have a clue, the rich have never paid tax. they are registered in tax havens anyway. you listen to labour too much.
Why is it disgusting to cut taxes?
Poor don't even get tax cuts because poor less likely to be able to accept cash which allows them to avoid tax or donate other peoples money to charity but claim it as they did the donating so getting tax write off.
when you donate at a business they get the tax write off never accept to do a donation at any business they are just paying less tax because of your donation.

How stupid are we. Think Truss and her friends are going to have to turn down their heating this winter?
Nothing says "We need to give poor people more money" quite like giving rich people more money.
The absurd thing is that poor people will quickly put any extra money they get back into the economy in the form of much needed purchases, while the wealthy will just stash it in some overseas tax haven or trust fund 'for the kiddies'. Big business will redirect it to their top executives or pay it out to shareholders in dividends before they'd even think of creating more jobs or upping their more lowly employees' wages..

So they want to raise taxes? When inflation is already a substantial tax on the people smh
Did he actually say that this new tax Policy ,"will increased prosperity and living standards?"
Yep, he certainly did. But, ONLY for the ALREADY rich and powerful.
So, if you only make 20 thousand
Pounds/year you get a measly $157 pounds tax relief, while your wealthiest citizens are getting more than twice your annual salary in tax relief, that they don't need. For them, 57,000 pounds a year is just pocket change. But "need" isn't the issue, is it? This is all about pure greed.
The British people should be angry and thoroughly disgusted.
What he just said was " for too long we have tried to help those less fortunate in this country. Its time to look after the rich. Because we are them. "
😂
Rishi said it in his conference speech, new chancellor put it into overdrive. shameless
Exactly so! (i.e. that is what he said)
"Rich people pay 21% of the income tax."
Well, sure. And if we had slave labour, they would be paying 100% of the income tax. Is he trying to argue that the slave owners would be having the harder end of the stick than the slaves in such a situation?
Because they earn 100% more than the rest of the population. Sounds fair to me. The rich get rich by riding on the back of government spending on infrastructure and services so make them pay up
Yep that's a good way of putting perspective on it...
The higher the percentage of income tax paid by the super rich (while taking all the tax dodging/evasion by them into account) only proves further how economically unequal things have become in the UK.
If the profits of the super rich were a little less so wages were higher the percentage of income tax paid by the those rich would ofcourse be a lower number
I think that's exactly the argument.
@@haeuptlingaberja4927 I know, I meant to say that the original comment was a good way of putting perspective on it. I was just adding to that (edited it to be clearer)
Please repent of your sins because the rapture is about to take place it’s going to be a great time for some but a terrifying for most God is willing and faithful enough to forgive us of our sins we are all sinners and are in need of a saviour it just takes 1 encounter for your whole life to change I hope you read this message with a open heard God bless
It's disgusting. It's the poor that need help. Not the millionaire's. There not going to be sat this winter having to choose between warmth or Hunger. Wellness or sickness.
God, this is callous and unfeeling. The people responsible for this are monsters.
Its a pity that British schoolkids are taught that the French revolution was all about rich folk being beheaded . Had they been taught about all the benefits that revolution eventually led to for the French people then perhaps they would stop voting for the Tories and the conservatives would truly fear the anger of the masses.
In Ireland they took all the land back and it became the people's land.
Everyone got some.
Local areas had local land which local people could agree on its use for the community. Called Commonage land. Sometimes this could be a quarry, with the wealth going to the local people.
Britain needs land reform.
Enough of these ex of exploiters ripping everyone off.
It's your country, your land, your work, you build it. Why should they take so much from you and leaves us with so little?
Now they want to work us until we are 70 years old and cut the pension in order to help create more billionaire exploiter tax avoiders who want the people on low pay and zero-hours contracts.
We aren’t French. The result of the French Revolution was catastrophic.
Rich folk getting beheaded sounds like a benefit to me.
Tbh the beheading is the best bit
You do realise that after Napoleon took over he became emperor, a dictator and then deposed him in favour of King Louis' cousin. Barely anything changed aside from the violence.
Remember the £170bn oil company profits that Truss refuses to tax instead she will make us pay for it, is EXCESS profits
She & the tories have always been a moral vacuum.
@@johnmoore9862 so have labour they have all hated the population post ww2.
War profiteering at that
Honestly, bring back the guillotine. Broad daylight robbery right before our eyes without repercussions because the laws are made by politicians bribed by the rich helping each other. It is madness
This appalling government needs to go asap! totally disgusting.
Sunak,predicted this. What a genius. He was right. Inflation will go up. Rishi is good at his work
There is no mandate for this Prime Minister . Only way out , General Election .
Her mandate is to transfer as much money as possible to the rich and powerful in what little time she has, there's absolutely no concern for the long term ramifications.
She'll never agree to it. Turkeys don't vote for Christmas
@@ShutThePuck well, she has to sweeten the fossil fuel companies, else who is going to give her a job when she gets chucked out soon! If fu#kwit Boris couldn't live on £200,00 a year being PM, how could poor trusser survive on that meagre sum?
😒
Oddly enough, she has. What she does is precisely in line with conservative value in the most overt way, and that is apparently what the voters voted for by giving them such a majority and let them be in power for over a decade. It's not like the voters never knew what the Tories are about.
Well, at least the UK can no longer blame the EU 😂
😂
Oh you watch, they will blame the EU.
@@JoelJoel321 is the EU doing any better????
@@polaris7122 This, whole continent is fucked.
@@polaris7122 The people in the EU are. The French have only seen their energy prices rise by 4 per cent. The French have nationalised energy. The EU as a whole plans to tax the oil giants £140 billion to pay for prive caps while Truss has borrowed it for regular people to pay over the next couple of generations. All that borrowing has made the £ plumit.
The UK may be the only country in Europe to put the price of energy caps on the shoulders of working people rather than taxing the oil giants. The Tories are letting the energy giants, bankers and wealthy fill their boots while the poor have to work harder and longer but are worse off than they were 2 years ago.
Get these fools out of power NOW
Maybe dump that gigantic Royal expenditure off of your books?
The most sickening thing is that there are ordinary people who will suffer from this who will still vote for this evil Tory party….

What a master stroke. Right after a two year period of government spending to prop up a flailing economy, cut as much of your revenue as possible, when your spending period isn’t over. Well done!
..... DISASTROUS! - 'Tighten yer' Belts'!
I own my own business which nearly died during covid so I went on to UC. I'm now working part time to recover from nearly dying. My UC has now dropped so low that my monthly UC plus 2 weeks of my monthly wage/drawings just hits underneath my rent. I'm working and have lost 5 stone since January. A packet of noodles a day.
I haven't afforded to see friends since Christmas. Labour would need at least 2 terms to fix things if even inclined to do so.
This will be the new winter of discontent.
However poor we get, we will still find the money for pitchforks. We need a revolution. We must have a violent one to show future politicians to avoid neglecting the people in future.

i dont know where you are, but plz get to a foodbank if you can, say you live with 2 - if mines is anything its like yours, they usually have too much donations to give away and want to free up space - do not starve unnecessarily
Why do you assume it has to be Labour as an alternative.Isnt it time we broke away from this two party duopoly? They have both failed us these past ten years or more.
Welcome to the Tories, come next election I suspect they will get in again, Labour has nothing to offer, Tories do as Tories do, the rich get rich, the poor get poorer, just wait the elderly will get hammered, the disabled/sick will get hammered, the rich will profit, get bigger houses more holidays and enjoy while the rest of us decide eat or heat.
You are right lady. Politicians need a violent reminder. A jolt to focus the mind.
_Labour_ is going to fix things?? HOW??
No wonder your business is doing badly. You obviously have no clue about how the economy works.

This PM will last 3 months if she’s lucky (if we are lucky).
3 weeks is too long never mind 3 month xx
.........wait for the £ to go below the US$, say 80 to 90 cents ........ Truss is history ??
Will be lucky if the whole world last 3 weeks! No joke.
The smugness is nauseating
"It's extremely expensive being poor" indeed!!!!
Biggest tax cut in decades for the rich. This will have zero impact on the common man.
If you wanted to make meaningful tax cuts, increase the tax threshold for the lowest owners and cut the income tax rate in half for people in the 10% and 20% tax brackets.
Saving millionaires millions and hoping they’ll spend that on the common man is idealism and wishful thinking at best
It sick me to see so many people in the world suffering. One love England from Jamaica.
