[TheNuthatch]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 💙

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

I really like this thread

one thing I notice a lot on lefty threads is a total lack of humour, it’s all so pious, performative seriousness, take every sarcastic comment the wrong way deliberately

The snark is relentless. Welcome, glad you found the thread.

The NRLA (Landlords association) says the tax will be based on 2026 valuations.

I just want to know how they plan to do this? Does someone from the couincil come in and inspect? Do they go on purchase price and link it to inflation? They don't take into account it seems what actual equity is in the property. Landlords will merely of course pass it onto renters or get out of the market thus creating a more difficult renters market than it is already.

So many questions....

Mansion tax is forecast to raise 400m or the cost to open the NHS’s doors for 24 hours….
Right on.

I disagree It will probably cost the country £10 Billion in terms of House Sales, inward Investment from foreign millionaires and driving out wealthy businessmen and families who have had enough.

This Government does not understand 'consequences' to policies or I am beginning to think they know exactly what they are doing. This is a plan from the CCP to not just bring, the United Kingdom but Western Europe France, Germany.

The plans to do so being not 'identical' because each country has their own weak spots. In the UK it has always been around the 'Class Issues' that allow the Politics of envy to work. Germany it is obviously around the evils of the Nazi's hence no opposition to Merkel's mass immigration, which kicked off the current migrant situation. France has Scars like Belgium from their 'occupation' and behavior in the African colonies, therefore again due to guilt have allowed Radical Islamic Sentiments to grow.

Agree Kemi made me laugh yesterday with some good jokes and given my pension pot was hit to the tune of just under £100k, quite an achievement!

To not just ruin .

£10 Billion a Year cost to the Economy if Mansion Tax is imposed.

Sorry, got sidetracked with some work.
I don’t trade sovereign bonds so just trying to see what’s driving it. It appears it might be driven by Sweden may be partly responsible with their increased fiscal deficit.

Overseas investors typically own about 30% so not sure it’s a Thanksgiving issue.

I'd not heard "Little Torsten" speak until he was interviewed on R4 yesterday evening - and he was just shocking in his responses; belligerent, defensive, aggressive, and so arrogant.

Labour in a nutshell.

I think I saw that, was it sky news and Sam Coates said he was lying and Murray just repeated himself and Coates just shrugged his shoulders and muttered incomprehensibly while Sophie Ridge tried to keep the show on the road?

What a mess yesterday was.

Thank you

Yes that was it.
Also Ed Conway told him he was wrong, but nope.
Ed Conway's face was a picture.

Thanks for the new thread.
Lots of different opinions on line and the phone in shows about the budget.
Im still not convinced that RR wanted to scrap the two child cap, but it’s done now.

It's like establishing another form of leasehold with the mansion tax.

I would have thought Labour are against feudalism.

Breaking.

The chancellor refused to rule out more tax rises in next year’s Budget after dropping a £30bn tax bomb on Britain yesterday.

LBC. Love a bit of journo anger. Breaking means we’re pissed.

She's learned her lesson after last year statements.

Oh just feck off Reeves. Nobody's listening anymore.

Sorry, what is ‘bps’? I googled it and it came up with ‘bits per second’ and British Pharmacological Society’.

Regional perspective here, NE Scotland is expecting further job losses imminently in the local papers today after the budget. The decision to not amend the Energy Profits Levy is widely expected to lower tax revenue as well. People here are very despondent.
