Autumn Budget Special.

Let me start with the shocking news that Labour's own Business Secretary Peter Kyle (no relation to Jeremy) has just declared that "It was our punishing tax policies that were responsible for having driven an exodus of wealth-creators from Britain";.... as if we didn't all know!

There was one huge sigh of relief around the UK when we all saw in last year's election manifesto that The Labour Party had PROMISED not to put up taxes; so before today's budget announcement we can all relax in the knowledge that we won't be fleeced by the fragrant Ms Reeves (above), and we can all enjoy their spurious assurances for a few minutes more.

But don't be fooled. What they probably meant (but got their speling rong) was that they WILL put up as many taxes as possible, just as they always do. But they didn't want to admit as much in case no-one voted for them. It's an old Labour trick, yet some people are still fooled. In the 'Tax and Spend' Socialist tradition, when you over-spend, you HAVE to raise taxes. It's simple logic. 

They may have been scared-off from raising Income Tax for the moment, but there are plenty of other taxes that they can raise. Alcohol, tobacco, personal savings, house taxes, money transfers, VAT, National Insurance, and, I'm told, even milk based drinks (yes, milkshakes), could all attract her grabbing attention. House taxes being the easiest, with comfortable hard-working middle classes, being the most vulnerable.

Having taken over with the strongest economy in the G7, it's come to this after just 12 months.

The one thing we all know about the fragrant 'Rachel from Accounts' is that she's hopeless at her 'sums', and that she is determined to create another Bankrupt Socialist Quagmire. She is happily creating a new third world country, with businesses closing by the day. The whole of the UK is becoming a giant version of Socialist Liverpool. Businesses simply can't cope with all the extra expenses, and many high streets have become no more than ghost towns. 

She still believes that if one gives 'workers', and even scroungers, more and more money, whilst increasing the taxes of the employers/wealth creators, that this will improve the economy. Would someone PLEASE explain to her that IT DOESN'T. She only has to look at the ever-rising unemployment figures; at present a further 1,000 a day are joining the nearly 2 Million others on the dole queue, and it's soon to increase. This is 282,000 more than when they took over last year.

She doesn't seem to understand that you make a vibrant economy by encouraging investment, leaving as much spending money in people's pockets as possible, and making businesses viable. NOT the opposite. 

The one thing that Rachel IS sure of (as she continuously tells us) is that the dire state of the economy is nothing to do with her, but all the fault of others; the only people who believe that are Sir Keith and Rachel herself. In a recent YouGov poll, 0% of the public thought the economy was in a good state. I expect she also thinks that she did no wrong by breaking the law with her house letting; but that's another story.

Reeves needs to raise about £20 Billion. Well, let me offer some advice. Our Overseas Aid at present costs us £25 Billion each year; money wasted on luxuries for foreign potentates, or even to fill their Swiss bank accounts. Scrap it NOW, and leave the tax payers alone. Your black hole could be cleared in just12 months without any extra taxes for anyone.

So, beware, there's a bloodbath coming. There may be one or two sweeteners, but if you are a hard-worker, have saved enough to live in a nice home, or you earn a decent salary, you WILL be clobbered later today. The 'class warriors' are out to get you. If I am wrong about their budget intentions, I will eat my beret,.... plus some humble pie!

I shall not watch the budget live (too depressing). I shall wait to see the resumé on tomorrow's TV News, and in the Independent Press. 

A staggering 275,000 UK wealthy Nationals have quit Britain in the past year; most of them embarrassed Socialists I imagine. Expect a lot more very soon.

A demain!
