She believe 's that going back to 2010 the blame lies with TONY BLAIR & GORDON BROWN UGH!!!!! 13 years ago come of it luvy !! SO AFTER TRASHING OUR ECONOMY AND SHOVING AND PILING MISERY ON MARTGAGE HOLDERS IN THE COUNTRY THIS IS NOW HER GOAL ,,, ( BITCH)
GB.

Its a shame you have to lower yourself to using such derogatory name calling GB

Yes, but don't even think about calling GB names, it upsets him and then he spits his dummy out.

So you think Liz Truss did a good job?

Regardless of doing a good or bad job, no woman deserves to be called a
"(BITCH)"

THATCHER DID!

Well said Rio

Oooohhh, there are plenty of Bitches on here

GB

UK public finances have been badly hit with Covid costs, energy price support for industry and domestic users and interest rate increases.
They are also coming under increasing strain due to the increase in the number number of working age people claiming disability benefits. The mandarins in the Treasury are having sleepless nights worrying about the cost of the new NHS recruitment drive. Inevitably, whichever political party is in charge it looks like cuts to government spending in other areas will have to be made.
Because personal taxation is at a historic high it will be difficult to secure additional contributions from this source. Increases in VAT will add to inflation so not much joy there.
The pension retirement age is based on actuarial data from the Treasury.
It’s not easy to see any major addition to the above from Liz Truss’s short term of office as PM.
She may well have spoked the markets and some pension funds for a few days but that’s about it.

Double Whammy Gaffer..

I have been counting down since I turned 65 last year....252 days to go...!!! Better not alter my date or I may swear....

GAFFER.
The statement she released and spoke about are today and she did say that she does intend to run again against SUNAK. Whilst i do agree with your comment on taxation it matters not a toss who or what gets elected next time round their task will be monumental as there will be no scope for tax breaks etc ,But would you agree then that because of her irresponsibilityand actions that directly led to last years staock-market crash and run on the pound in which the B.O.E had to step in with drastic measures??
I would also ask you concerning benefits and disability payments would it therefore not have been a good idea to help the beligurede N.H.S. since 2010 when if you recall the waiting list for hospital appointments was around some 500.k only Instead of not giving basic wage increase year on year and not has what happened in barely any rise at all in those 13 years of mismanagement by theis lot ???
AS for lowering myself in the name i called her i make NO APOLOGIY whatsoever in fact i believe it to be a mild term i used . For i do take it very seriously the savage attack she is trying to make against majority of disabled people who can't protect themselves . Finally with the greatest respect to you the very thought of ANYONE /ANY PARTY to even think about increasing the retiement age , just BEGGARS BELIEF . One grafts hard for 50 or so years but thats not good enough for some ,just not on !! I do strongly disagree with the last two lines of your thread too. Before i go i would like someone in higher positions to dig up some figure in BRITAIN today which is thus :::
How much money is SAVED by the number of people who DIE before the legal retirement age ???When one takes into account all the yeas worked paying in so to speak , then sadly passing before they can claim was would have been theirs legally??? No-one ever mentions those types of numbers do they ?? As many.many thousands like myself will have encountered this siuation ie the loss of my own parents 64 & 59 yet they one worked from when he went down the mine at 13 years of at BLUNDELLS Pemberton born 1910 first job 1923 passed 1974 so you see i don't readliy agree with figures .
YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY GAFFER >
G.B.

My brother managed 9 months of pension payments before he passed last year .

I was surprised at the porkies they let her get away with, without any challenge. For example, she asserted that fracking would reduce domestic fuel bills for households.

Granted that is what happened in USA, but even the companies lobbying for licences to frack say that it will not do so here. Treasury will benefit from fees they pay for licences, and generally, their economic activity will incur some taxation. (Assuming they are not given a waiver)

But the product recovered is theirs to sell at market prices, and they have been honest enough to say that UK production level is unlikely to push down that price.
