Nothing Burnham likes more than to act the fan favourite. But he’s said it so fair play like you say |

The Manchester and London transport only is in control of the mayor/local authority. The govt couldn’t touch it Fair play but it’s easier for burnham to do this. Defo political and if that Mp gets recalled I can see burnham going for it What are the odds on Sadiq Khan doing the same? |

Oddly I have a strange begrudging respect for someone like Rednwhitenblue; who doesn't hide behind false pretences of virtuousness and just lays bare his total cuntery for the world to see. Far less annoying than total cunts who also believe they're morally superior. I'm a total cunt, but I'm certainly not morally superior. If you asked the morally superior total cunts they'd tell you that I hadn't got any morals to be superior about. Problem is you're all still a bunch of cunts. Just some cunts are also morally bankrupt. |

Sadiq Khan should be raising his cap ever higher to fit in with regional inequalities and let London do their bit for the rest of the country. At least the tories built yous car parks in Stoke to help avoid the bus fares 🤣 |

Yet another pre budget announcement today of the increase in min wage, increase in employer NI etc, etc, I fear for increased prices and a dramatic increase in inflation.
Inflation normally results in interest rates not going down but possibly rising. A spiral of financial mismanagement.
I so hope I am wrong.

Nothing Burnham likes more than to act the fan favourite. But he’s said it so fair play like you say Still a cracking policy even if it is subject to a mid-2025 review. Manchester Council are looking to bring all of Greater Manchester's buses back under public control under the Bee Network branding so he needs a flat fare structure. By mid 2025 they'll know how much government funding the Council has and then they can judge the financial outlook for the whole new system. |

TFL charges £1.75 for each bus journey and that gets you unlimited bus journeys in an hour. So if it is a quick ride, you can go there and back for £1.75. No idea what changes the £3 cap will have, but of course bus journeys cost less than the current cap in the capital. |

I guess we find out tomorrow rather than leaks and speculation but from what I've read fares under £2 will increase by inflation Not looked into it too much but my understanding the concept is a bit like the Royal Mail where its the same price to post a Birthday Card 2 streets over as a letter from Torquay to the Outer Hebrides. In other words equalisation on remote routes for people who have an overeliance on Buses without alternative transport |

Increased capital taxes, higher taxes on unearned income and VAT on private school fees are brilliant measures that hopefully are brought it. No increased taxes on earned income. And a spending spree on big projects and more spending on public services. It sounds like it could be a good budget to me. But let’s wait and see what happens. |

Hit paste 4. Change 'x' for 'twitter' Or alternatively, copy the url of the tweet and then follow stages 3 and 4. Blame Musk for making it so long winded nowadays ... |

Has there ever been a budget where everyone's been happy?
We're in financial problems and all I ever seem to see is one government tries to do stuff, then everyone pelts them. I don't remember seeing a legit explanation of what the budget should be. As soon as a politician actually comes up with an excuse, people just bitch. No wonder politicians are less than honest if no-one will reward them for it.
I guess there are exceptions, like Truss's budget was a notable fucking catastrophe so "any of the other politicians' plans" were notably better!

Inflation normally results in interest rates not going down but possibly rising. A spiral of financial mismanagement. I so hope I am wrong. The min wages should go up every year. This puts pressure on businesses and increases costs. So the last thing you should be doing is also increasing employer NI at the same time NI was rightfully cut as they froze our tax allowances |

But they have a very long to do list. |

how long did it take markets to react to the truss budget ?
i must point out i agrred with the general thrust of what she was aiming for and that i think reeves is going down the wrong path targeting small / medium business ( i am biased in that regard )
i'm sure wuddy , woggyoggy or waahwa will enlighten me on the gilt etc performance later ?

The 6.7% rise in the minimum wage and the investment in the NHS will do more to redistribute wealth than any tax increases, but the tax increases will help. That's why Labour should stop apologising for them...

That's why Labour should stop apologising for them... the 6.7% rise will cost business money in wages and increased NI - I have no problem with that. increased costs result in increased prices etc. There is no need for extra NI rises on business as that could force thoses costs and therefore prices even more. add in fuel duty and other tax rises the lower earners pay more taxes than ever. the burden needs shifting |
