Can see reduction in fuel duty but don’t know what else he can do if anything
Do what they've done in France and limit increase in gas prices to 4 percent.
Levy the energy companies with a windfall tax.
Reintroduce the 20 quid UB uplift.
There's loads the wank can do.
So what's Rishi going to do to help us all in the spring Budget today?
Fuck all, presumably.
Guessing he'll blame everything on the Ukraine war and hope everyone forgets that this was all on the cards well before the war.
Then make some tax cuts before the next election to show us how wonderful and generous he and his party is.
No VAT on solar panels and heat pumps, I'm all for no VAT on energy saving products but I'm not convinced that's really going to help people with the cost of living crisis.
Yeah to a gee greater extentwill the reduction in fuel duty?

Nothing on energy bills, nothing on housing, nothing on food costs.
His great 'tax plan' is to fuck over everyone now and then reduce taxes before the next election, as predicted.
I think the energy bills assistance is as previously advised when the new cap figure was confirmed earlier in the year ie council tax rebate and ‘loan’ reducing bills. I’d be shocked if further assistance doesn’t come in Autumn when they know what the new cap will be, assuming energy costs are still a major issue, which I guess they will be
Why are you attempting rationale coherent arguments to these people? It’s just pointless
Not really as the government are earning on average 7p a litre on petrol and 9p a litre on diesel more than they were 12 months ago. The cut doesn’t outstrip the extra cost of VAT.will the reduction in fuel duty?
It’s a cop out. He’s tried selling it as a brexit benefit when we all know the real benefit would be to scrap VAT on energy bills as touted in the referendum campaign. The people this helps is the people who can afford to get solar etc installed in the first place.No VAT on solar panels and heat pumps, I'm all for no VAT on energy saving products but I'm not convinced that's really going to help people with the cost of living crisis.
Is that why you’ve chosen not to present a rational or coherent argument in 66k posts so far?
The Jayne Innes tribute act?
Thats a zinger. It must be so frustrating for you at General Election Time to fail time and time again.
Do better. D minus for that one Mr Councillor
That is genuinely hilarious

Eh it was an open goal.
I’m…not a councillor?
Do you think this was a good budget for helping those struggling with the cost of living? Why do I, a higher rate tax payer, need a tax cut and the lowest paid get nothing?
Come on, share all that coherent rationalism with us. I can’t wait to hear it.
Or was that it? “Blue team wins lol”?

Now's the time to renationalise energy companies btw - save them from themselves

UC should’ve been bumped back up. The increase in NIC threshold will help lowest paid though
It’s irrelevant. The rise in the cost of living outstrips the gains.Yes I remember you were bragging you'd entered high rate taxation fairly late in life and also that you started a thread like a true socialist trying to find ways to avoid it
According to Martin Lewis on the NI issue you'll now be paying more and anyone earning under £35,000 will be paying less.
