It seems that under a Labour government being hard working and aspirational just means you get punished for being so.
Looks like rather than working 50 hour weeks in good jobs (which contributes to the economy) is a waste of time and effort - easier to give up and just claim benefits. Less stress, more time to put your toes up. Seems like a no brainer!!
Reeves plans to add an additional tax onto homes in London and the South East apple.news/AIieFo3k_T4eMKy7kNy7lgw
This is going to completely stagnate the housing market as no one will want to move to the properties with the additional charges which will be ON TOP of the council tax charges.
All the 1000s of horrible ‘luxury’ homes that have been built across much of the farmland in the south east in the last 6 months won’t sell; there will be a bun fight for the few affordable homes that the developers grudgingly shoehorn into the corner of the plot - because they have to; and the whole ‘Labour are going to build their way out of this financial mess that the Tories left for us to deal with’ will be shot in the foot because developers don’t want to build affordable housing. They want to build 4 and 5 bed houses because that’s how they get their money.
So, AIBU? Is it actually worth working your arse off under a Labour Government or shall we all sack off our jobs that allow us to live in nice houses and claim back all the tax we’ve paid into the system over the years in benefits?
