We’ll come on, what’s going to happen. All those on here that have the financial knowledge (but not the inclination) to sort the country's finances out, here’s your chance.
The Budget 2024.
- Thread starter Mottie
- Start date
Fingers crossed tax and NI up, along with an NI levy for pensioners with an income over £15K
Forcibly repossess all worldly goods, for anyone who says that "kids nowadays don't know graft and sacrifice, like what I did at their age"

The answers are obvious, and have all been given, ad nauseam, before.
You just don't want to acknowledge them, or pay for them.

Hope no tax or ni cuts. Ideally a slight increase
Too much to pay for to give away a token.
Which will just be an election bribe
But no,ni cut looks likely.
Does anybody think it's a good idea though

No, of course not!
Any further cuts will be twisting the knife.
A country run on ever-reducing taxes means that services will be cut even further.
Things are bad enough now without further reductions.
the Conservatives are going to cut taxes because they dont care about wrecking the economy further if it means they can damage labour
Conservatives want to make tax changes then announce an early election to stop Labour having chance to design a new strategy
there are rumours Conservatives want to reform non dom status because that will bugger Labour spending plans
I can tell what will happen
Conservatives will make budget decisions based on:
1) improving thier chances in GE
2) creating a trap for labour
3) maximum damage to economy, to make it harder for Labour to do well over the next parliament if they win
in a democracy governments should not be allowed to to wreck the country just because they are about to get booted out
ah yes
you care more about the damage to Labour than you care about damage to the economy
Like the cuts to public services in Birmingham who plan a 21% hike in Council Tax over the next two years?
Tories will blame Labour but it was them who told councils to find their own funding.
That's the next but one budget Murdo.
There’s zero chance Conservatives will hike tax liability for pensioners
Pensioners are the only voting base the Tories have left.
