    Why no windfall tax on the Supermarkets who have raked it in since the pandemic and cost of living crisis?
    Why no return of the bankers bonus cap?

      Second, the unfunded liabilities that Labour will have to meet justify a reconsideration of Reeves’s fiscal rule that the government debt to GDP ratio must be falling in five years. By accepting this arbitrary rule in opposition, she effectively adopted the Conservative macroeconomic worldview: that growth can be achieved alongside fiscal conservatism. But this approach comes with significant risks; a failure to borrow prudently to invest consigns the UK to sluggish growth for at least another decade.

    • @traviscutler9912
      @traviscutler9912 Місяць тому

      The only thing that's shocking is that anyone believes anything that the BBC or corporate media spews out after ALL INDEPENDENT (far Left or far Right) MEDIA PREDICTED that Labour would lie their way into Downing Street on the false premise of the fiscal situation being manageable with no tax rises or service cuts then pretending that they hadn't seen all the publicly available records showing that to be complete rubbish. Queue the faux shock and anger, the obligatory service cuts to the most vulnerable, minor rises for the richest people who won't even notice and of coarse service cuts for everyone else. Wash, rinse and repeat.

    All the controversy about pensioners is a distraction because meanwhile, nothing is being about bankers' bonuses. The cap on bankers' bonuses has not been replaced, which puts everyone's savings at risk, not just pensioners' savings. Remember Northern Rock? And no one is demanding that MPs are means tested for their winter fuel payments for their second homes, I wonder why that is?

    All pensioners with less than c. £16,000 savings in the bank should get the same help as those eligible for Pension Credit. Pension Credit is paid to people who did not work enough years to qualify for the full State Pension.
