To be panicking about income tax rise.

Things are tight and to loae even £30-60 a month will be difficult.

I know people are talking about the mansion tax being a no go. But I would prefer this than taxing the workers as per usual.
The tax free rate should be put up. What a mess.

Don't. I've been working my bollocks off all year to land a pay rise. It's been agreed to start next month, and it looks like I am not going to end up being much better off. Im working so hard and just feel like I'm treading water.

Interesting, when this has been discussed previously, the majority on MN said they wanted to pay more tax for better services? That is what many opined during the private school VAT raid. Now the raid is on everyone’s pockets - we aren’t so keen? What a surprise. I’ve said it hundreds of times, but I’ll say it again: you’ll all have to pay. Taxation is for the many, not the few. Scandinavian countries where services are robust take more money from low and mid earners. I couldn’t be less shocked that Labour will be going after everyone…
