The projected growth in the economy from the tax cuts will not generate any further growth. i) Growth of an economy requires productivity. ii) Productivity require lower energy costs, innovation, investment and good working conditions for worker moral. Doomed to failure for those in the real world. Instead it just create further higher inflation, stagnation, resentment and industrial disputes.
Growth requires more customer spending to consume what’s created. The Tories are making ours poorer, and trade with 450 EU consumers more expensive and difficult., It’s a con. This budget has got nothing to do with Putins illegal war.

They're obsessed with growth, that's all that matters to them, numbers on a spreadsheet. When do they ever actually do anything useful with their money? Anything that benefits people's lives? All they do is serve their own interests while making our lives harder.
No, they're obsessed with transferring wealth from the middle class to corporations, hedge-funds, banks and Tory donors. This government is nothing more than a gang of thieves and they will destroy this country in short order.
That's the thing though - it shrinks the overall economy because most of that money will be sent to offshore accounts or other countries. The only growth they are obsessed with is growing their donours bank accounts if it means wrecking the economy as a whole.
Surely this plays into Labour´s hands. If the economy does not recover and if there is carnage through the winter months the Tories might not even make it to the next general election.

The markets have spoken within a few hours? The plan for this is to encourage growth and investment over the next 2 years, it’ll take time to see what happens.
Can’t help thinking increasing housing targets by government to local authorities would have been better than increasing the stamp duty allowance. It just throws fuel on an already out of control market. We still have a housing shortage in this country. We have done since early 2000’s when Labour imposed a housing moratorium driving house prices through the roof. Increasing housing numbers and the affordable housing provision would help calm the housing market. This is just going to increase inflation and house prices further. Land for housing is drying up, land values and house prices will continue to rocket. Why increase the interest rate when we need to get building! The population is growing but we aren’t building enough houses and industry to support it. Madness.
The stamp duty rules had been in place since 2014. Back then, the average property price in the U.K. was £189,000. The current average U.K. property price today is £273,000. They needed to be updated to keep up with the property market.
What most people do not seem to understand is that by making the economy grow and bigger, the so called cake gets bigger and the tax base gets bigger to pay for the borrowing. It is a basic principle that most companies use, they borrow money to increase the size of the company and then pay back the loan from the extra profit. This makes the company stronger and the jobs of the workers more stable.
Yes if invested right but this is a tax cut for the small minority of the wealthy they are not the ones that maintain growth that is the rest of us and guess what we are skint now this makes us more so this will tank the economy and the pound and just push many more in to destitution. This is sickening.
In the real world I was in a supermarket today and the price of cheese increased from £4.00 to £4.50. It used to £3.50 only a month or two ago.

Within 12 months, I am pretty sure the pound is going to tank. I'd say equal to, possibly less than the Euro. These new tax levels are the exact opposite of what society as a whole needs now. Are the Tories still living in a dream world where 'trickle down' economics works? I think we all know this is not the case. Trickle down in reality means billionaires creating low paid jobs to enhance their own wealth, which is often not taxed to the rates they should be. "Wool" and "Eyes" are two words which come to mind.

It'll create growth which leads to more investment, more investment leads to more jobs, more jobs leads to more people having their own money instead of claiming benefits snd it also means more people paying tax which gives more money back to councils to do things like fill potholes etc.
Trickle down economics. Crumbs of the table, for the working public if we're lucky Thatcher did it with Ronald Regan and Alan Greenspan, and it never worked apart from rich getting richer.
There is no point in working we may as well send a message and we all just stop they get no taxes that way and the filthy rich who own all the businesses will panic and lose their businesses. At this rate work would not even be worth it working for what to get more in debt pointless.
Thanks to the Conservative members for putting this clueless clown at number 10. Sunak warned of this back in August, looks like he would have been a much better option based on his background and experience. Looks like the reality is now coming to light as to who the better option would have been!
With only two years to a General Election she had little choice than to present her Government as new, radical and try to get some economic growth. If they'd done little they would lose the next election, so they might as well (from their point of view) go big. And of course if they lose the debt problems are the problems for the next Government who will have to increase taxes . . .

The biggest tax cuts over 90% of them to the richest 5% of incomes to the richest in the country ..! 45% of earners + the taxes on dividends (shareholders) + disproportionate reduction tax cuts in the health and social care levy … infact the help on the same scale to 95% of the United Kingdom working population is completely pitiful in comparison … Scaled the difference is 10x more for the Rich … who can best afford to pay taxes in the first place … this is yet another huge tax break for the richest in society … disgraceful…! It is not them who are the people of Britain … we are more than 1000 people … we are 57,000,000 people 95 % of whom will get less than £1000 / year benefit the Rich will get more than £10,000 benefit … wrong wrong wrong …!

Haha yeah and the pound nose diving during his announcement just proves your point doesn’t it . Idiot
Bring back Georgie Osbourne!
Europe and UK became difficult times ⏲.
Looking after their own, while the slaughter on the poor, poorest of society gets into gear.😔
Insane ....
Steal from the poor
Give to the rich
Robbing ****s
Robbing ****s
Can anyone explain to me what this is actually doing and what affect it will have in the long term?
It'll create growth which leads to more investment, more investment leads to more jobs, more jobs leads to more people having their own money instead of claiming benefits snd it also means more people paying tax which gives more money back to councils to do things like fill potholes etc.
Trickle down economics.
Crumbs of the table, for the working public if we're lucky
Thatcher did it with Ronald Regan and Alan Greenspan, and it never worked apart from rich getting richer.
There is no point in working we may as well send a message and we all just stop they get no taxes that way and the filthy rich who own all the businesses will panic and lose their businesses. At this rate work would not even be worth it working for what to get more in debt pointless.
Thanks to the Conservative members for putting this clueless clown at number 10.
Sunak warned of this back in August, looks like he would have been a much better option based on his background and experience.
Looks like the reality is now coming to light as to who the better option would have been!
With only two years to a General Election she had little choice than to present her Government as new, radical and try to get some economic growth. If they'd done little they would lose the next election, so they might as well (from their point of view) go big. And of course if they lose the debt problems are the problems for the next Government who will have to increase taxes . . .
Biggest tax cuts for 50year's yet we are paying the highest taxes for 70 year's.A penny in April for most won't wash I'm afraid.
For too long the economy is
aimed for the poor and as
a result it has come to a stagnant. Any progress should benefit us all.
The media are going so ridiculously easy on them. I wonder why???
Maybe because all of them are conservative????
A nation sensitive after the queens passing - looks like her weekly meets with the pm might have yielded some common sense - a massive dramatic self sabotaging move - as soon as the mentor has moved on
Billionaire owners and most news reporters will benefit also they make 100k plus.
I would love to see the poor who voted for the Tories suffer for their idiocy but unfortunately it also affects the poor that didn't 😔
That risk is at the expense of the tax payer. Ridiculous.
Almost as inept as Penny Wong
Giving money back to taxpayers. Where is the scandal? They should lower them more! 🇬🇧
Dizzy Miss Lizzy
Maybe those welloffs would make a turnaround to the dire straits. Good luck.
They are a sick lot!
The new Sri Lanka in making..
I hope not
This was sad to listen to I hope the conservative party aren't in power for much longer they really do seem quite heartless :(
🤣🤣
government borrowing rate just went up to 5 percent, pound is all-time low...we have 2 amateurs running government
The biggest tax cuts over 90% of them to the richest 5% of incomes to the richest in the country ..! 45% of earners + the taxes on dividends (shareholders) + disproportionate reduction tax cuts in the health and social care levy … infact the help on the same scale to 95% of the United Kingdom working population is completely pitiful in comparison …
Scaled the difference is 10x more for the Rich … who can best afford to pay taxes in the first place … this is yet another huge tax break for the richest in society … disgraceful…! It is not them who are the people of Britain … we are more than 1000 people … we are 57,000,000 people 95 % of whom will get less than £1000 / year benefit the Rich will get more than £10,000 benefit … wrong wrong wrong …!
GET THEM OUT
100 percent if USA 🇺🇸 did that it would HELP
There is no borrowing ....tax is generated windfall for governments ....its money they shouldnt have .....this will be putting money back in my pocket.
