Current Affairs The Labour Party

[peteblue]

I like the bit where it was announced the Covid money is going to be clawed back from various Tory cronies (and in some cases, Tories themselves ) and they end up in the nick.

I did too, way overdue…but you do realise there will also be Labour supporters as well. Personally I don’t care what politics, religion, background or colour they have, if they ripped us off I want to see them pay it back and end up behind bars…..

You would think so. The Tories had 14 years to decide what fair was so they were either too lazy or too stupid to do it. Tbf, a combination of both seems the likely reason.

As long as every pensioner got it then it didn’t really matter……

With interest and costs for investigating it added. Bit like the Jimmy Carr tax thing.

Hahaha hahaha what are you talking about?!

Inflation affected mortgages and their payments, if inflation falls so does mortgage rate… quite simple really…..

 

[peteblue]

Err do you know how inflation works?

Yes I do mate. Do you know how it affects different payments…..

 

[mightymoyes]

Yes I do mate. Do you know how it affects different payments…..

Yes.
why do you think a 5.5% pay rise is out of order if inflation has been in double figures?

Both my parents, both over 80, just fail the limit for pension credit. Will lose £600 a year, both voted Labour, as did I at the last general election, and have done all their lives - it will be the last time. An appallingly shocking decision from a supposed Labour government. A kick in the guts for people who have scrimped and saved a little for retirement. They disgust me.

over 80s will stop get the winter fuel allowance

That's interest rates which are impacted by inflation, but as inflation slows down, rates will drop and mortgage payments will go down. Prices of goods and services still go up when inflation is lower, but they still have the double digit inflation baked in.

yes Lis Truss - Starmer pomised he would stop her PM pension destroyed the economy in power for 40 days not voted in by the public - Sunack is the same no way he should get a PM pension for life he's a billionaire...... It's Austerity all over again in the next budget.....

As said a few weeks back: they'll continue with austerity...

Chancellor Rachel Reeves to axe projects after review of finances

Chancellor to say previous government covered up shortfalls, but the Tories say she is paving way for tax rises.

The mugs who voted for this lot will continue to repent at leisure.

God knows what British Energy will be like with Ed Milliband at the helm too...

 

[peteblue]

Yes.

Depends what rises they received beforehand…have the private sector had similar ?…..
