Your lot have left us in a mess ffs. 1% pay rises for 10+ years and now it's catch-up time. It's been stated that working people will not suffer tax rises. More right wing misinformation. Your lot? Get your facts right nelly. I voted against the conservatives at the last election. The current Labour government regime have been shambolic, starting with the cancelling of a much needed mine up in Cumbria (on day one !) then Reeves subsequent attack on the pensioners winter fuel benefit. I see that she's not attacked the MP's generous benefits packages that includes heating amongst other things. Double standards. And this 22 Billion pound black hole that she and Starmer constantly moan about, repeating it 24x7 multiple times a day doesn't mean it's the truth. Oh and be warned ........ Nicholas Nesbitt, partner at accountants Forvis Mazars, reckons Reeves will slap inheritance tax (IHT) on unused pensions. Personally, I think that's a shoo-in. He thinks she'll go further warning: "The government may look to tighten rules on gifting money away for IHT purposes, perhaps by taxing gifts over a certain size, or introducing a lifetime limit of gifts." And I reckon there's a chance Reeves could scrap the £175,000 main residence allowance, which applies when passing on the family home to children or grandchildren. You voted for them in 2019, as you were very happy to tell me when I was pointing out what an abject human being Boris Johnson was and how that would be very bad news for us as a country. 'Sore loser', I think you said. Which might have been true had I not been saying it for years before that. But here we are, nearly 5 years later, reaping the rewards of putting abject human beings in charge. Which is part of the reason such hopeless politicians as Laura Trott are commenting on the economy. I wouldn't trust her to tell me which day it is. But the government you voted for brought us to this point. You can either accept that responsibility or you can pretend that voting for the even more economically illiterate Reform after the event absolves you of it. For the record, my view is that Labour should be taxing the rich hard. They've done disproportionately well out of recent years and the poor, as usual, been hit disproportionately hard. So when the Budget comes round I'll probably be annoyed that they've actually stayed pretty close to what they were indicating they'd do. But pretending a 22bn shortfall means you can't increase wages is the economic thinking of the household budget, not that of national government. It was Osbourne's trick to pretend that's how things worked but all that did was support an ideologically driven austerity that weakened the country and arguably helped the Brexit vote win. So, not an approach Labour should be following, though I fear they're not veering too far from it.

Look at you, crying like a little snowflake again Very adult response. Not. I am concerned that everything that I have worked hard for over the years is fair game for the Government to tax. It's there for my children and grandchildren to benefit from when I'm not here to look after them. Not sure what your problem is. lol cry some more

The only thing the Tories did for me was being able to access your private pension at the age of 55. Got me off the treadmill of exploitation, low wages and lining your bosses pockets. Fair days work for a fair days pay. Not much to ask, is it.

Does the 'Everyone I Don't Like is a Fascist' version come with a different cover?
