Even with NI, Inheritance tax etc there is still an annual deficit, expected to be £133bn this year. Taxes do not cover the shortfall, it’s funded by issuing government bonds. They are borrowing from our children’s future to fund an insane welfare state. As I said, look at the gilt yield curve to see the objective reality of what smart money thinks. Bonds have been selling off, pushing up rates to even higher levels than under Liz truss, showing that the smart money across the world has zero faith in the government

Farage suggested that was behind “the upset and the anger at the circumstances of his death, the anger that you saw spilling out in Southampton last night”. Some MPs jeered at Farage, saying he should condemn the violence. Farage went on: Starmer said: “I don’t believe there’s two-tier policing in this country.” And he said that he was “really shocked” by Farage’s approach. He said Farage pretended to respect Nowak’s family. But he was acting like this. Starmer went on: Baffled that anyone thinks that’s a good response. Starmer is a coward and a wanker. All he is doing by pretending this isn’t happening is ensuring that more murders and riots will happen in the future.

Did you say the same about the BLM riots?

You cannot tax your way to a prosperous and great society

i was told riots are the voice of the unheard

I cannot get over the hypocrisy of it. When it was BLM (doing much worse btw) it’s important their voices are heard. When it’s the white working class, it’s “divisive” and everyone should get back in their box. They can fuck off

The triple lock should absolutely go. As should a plethora of other benefits and welfare. I think there’s a strong case for abolishing the NHS too. It’s fucked beyond repair. There should also be a review into all government spending from the top down. If the country was a business, it would have been closed down long ago. The waste that goes on is absolutely ridiculous.

wrong According to the Office for Budget Responsibility's March 2026 Economic and Fiscal Outlook and DWP benefit tables, UK social security spending (welfare benefits including pensions) is forecast at £334bn for 2025/26. Income tax receipts are projected at £329-331bn. This is the first time welfare has exceeded income tax revenue in UK history

Out of interest, were you ridiculing the BLM protests?

They are, you just don’t understand how the economy and financial system work Look at the bond yields. This is an objective way to measure what the global market thinks is going to happen. What is it saying? Yields are spiking because everyone knows inflation (stagflation) is going on

I hand on heart don’t see how anyone can say that. His handling of Southport made me viscerally hate him in a way I’ve never hated any other politician. Nothing to do with GB News.

All of those things are linked. They are all getting worse. A fabricated £22bn black hole, taxes going up, everyone struggling, etc. it’s all linked to broken money. The currency is being debased due to money printing, which causes inflation, which leads to these things. It’s so so difficult to run a successful business with their tax raises and the price rises that their stupid policies are causing. It takes a while for the effects of these things to play out; but as bad as the Tories were, Labour are absolutely worse for the country so far. But business owners are packing up and leaving, investors are refusing to invest. Youth unemployment is rising and has a long way to run Net migration is horrific, it seems to be slowing this year to be fair to them, but still way too high.

The protests are extremely mild compared to what is morally and politically justified for this abhorrent situation. The killers family are still walking around, free. The fact you aren’t more annoyed is the issue, not the protestors.

Protestors all took the knee and asked the Police to do the same for Henry Novak as they did for George Floyd The police refused. Surely even the naive Labour voters can see why huge swathes of the country are annoyed at the double standards?

You just writing in bold doesn’t make what you’re saying true. Inflation and currency debasement absolutely are expanding under Labour. Our benefits bill just exceeded the amount the government earns in taxes. How do you think they will pay the bill, with no money to pay it?… they’ll print money.
