  • The Chancellor today delivered his fiscal update, branding it as an ‘Autumn Statement for Growth’. In it, he announced a series of tax cuts for both businesses and workers including the decision to make ‘full expensing’ permanent and a surprise announcement on National Insurance, which has been cut by two percentage points for workers and simplified for the self-employed. Fraser Nelson, Kate Andrews and Katy Balls unpack the details of Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement.

    Let's face it, who in their right mind would trust Hunt with their children's piggybank - he'd have snaffled it all and the rubber stopper with his left hand whilst offering you 10p to put in the slot with the right hand.

    Budgets are now purely political theatre totally and utterly devolved from economics. Boasting about giving you couple hundred pound a year whilst charging them thousands more in energy, fuel etc etc.

    Anyone who backs stopping the triple-lock should try living on the basic state pension of £203/week.
    I have no problem with stopping it for the wealthy.
    Ordinary pensioners are hardly well-off.

    I'm confused, aren't our National Insurance contributions going towards our state pension pots? Aren't we robbing ourselves in the future?

      It's not ring fenced and what you get out ( Benefits, State pension, NHS) has no relation to what you pay in , it's effectively just an additional income tax ( on employees only since pensioners don't pay NI which is wrong given how much longer we live after retirement these days )

      @jabberwocky life expectancy has gone down under this Government for many areas. Excess deaths rates have gone up, disregarding COVID. Now is not the time to be taking away anything from public services, if you're not healthy you can't work and if you've worked hard you should be able to enjoy retirement.

    English children in English schools to be a Minority in 12 years.
    The English Nation to be a minority in a mere few decades in their ethnic homeland of England.
    All Britons of the UK & even the whole archipelago to be rendered a minority some short years after that.
    Not mentioned, the omerta remains unbroken & Fraser Nelson thinks it's no big deal & offence to even notice.

    Stop attacking people who are trying to clear a mess Boris left behind and give them a chance. Let us not make "Holier than Thou" comments. If you people can do a better job and anc get the job yourself and make a change.
