What do with think will be in Labour’s budget?

[tenpairsofshoes]

They don’t seem to be giving much away but any indication that they might help kickstart the economy or are we just going to get £2 bus fares, £45 off our elec bill a year and petrol prices on google map? None of Labour polices seem to help anyone that is really struggling but isn’t in receipt of UC! I’m speaking as a single mother who is trying to sell a property to move on with my life but can’t. Yes I know I’ve very fortunate to have bricks and mortar but that doesn’t mean I’m loaded (because the property isn’t worth much)! I feel like everyone is expecting the chancellor pull a rabbit out of a hat but I think we’ll all be very disappointed/pissed off!

They have already said that if you leave you home empty too long (over 6 months) the council will take it and use it to rent out to others.

I know. 🙄

Oh just stop with this nonsense. Honestly, can you back up what you are spouting off here? Please do.

Don’t leave it empty then.

According to the "rules" I still get an NHS pension but not a full one.

I was thinking of something more recent than a 12 year old article, and am not impressed by the assumption that Muslims don't work. This is a 2/10 fail.

I don’t k ow who introduced UC top ups to low wages, but whoever did gave the biggest ever financial gift to big business at the expense of the UK taxpayer.

I work for a large corporate. I’ve seen equivalent wages for the same roles across Europe. Those companies can and will pay higher rates for their staff. They would do here too, except they don’t have too because taxpayers will top up the low UK salaries they pay.

Ridiculous.

Any idea how long probate takes - obviously not ?

You won’t get a state pension with 25 years contributions. You didn’t specify which you thought you’d paid for.

Yes. It was less than three months on both my parents’ estates. Next?

I used to work in healthcare and have the evidence of my own eyes,

Good. If you aren't living in it then you don't need it

I would not call this a bit of mispeak.

It can be a lot longer than that.
No need to be snippy.

Your property to do what you want with, not for the council to seize it and possibly put house trashers in it.

Noone needs to hoard property while others go homeless

OK have it your own way.
I still think he was set up.
I wonder if the fact he was Jewish had anything to do with it?

@BIossomtoes

Don’t leave it empty then.

What if it's a rental property and tenants can't be found within 6 months?

@BlakeCarringtongod I didn’t even think about this! Insanity!

I was talking about an NHS pension.
I worked in other areas after I left the NHS and will get a full State Pension.

Reduce the rent?

Waiting for probate is hardly "hoarding property".!

Exactly. Unlikely anyway, there are always lots of applications for rental property unless it’s a shithole.

Most people on UC aren't in work.

Noone needs to hoard property while others go homeless.

I have three rental properties. All rented to internation students.

Each paid for with cash I have earned. The income is intended to top up my state pension.

Why should any of them be taken to provide for others?
