"The drops we have seen have all been since the financial crisis, and then maintained through Covid, as a means to try and stimulate growth."
How did that work out? Honest answer only.
No answer to what CEO pay and shareholder dividends have done in the same period?
"The Tories then raised in 2023, to 25%, as part of a suite of tax changes to pay for covid."
No they mooted it them shelved it and kept it at 19%
How about an answer to what Rishi Sunak promised together reelected? You voted for it you must be able to explain it.
At least you've stopped using pensioners as a political football. In the time you've voted Tory, since 97 you said?, where was your concern for pensioners when public services were closing, utility prices rising and talk of them using 'warmbanks' to get by in winter?
Why should anyone take the word on the of the Tories, and Tory voters, seriously on the economy after the mess it's currently in.
We've seen you blame lack of growth under the Tories on anything and everything from Ukraine to Covid, conveniently omitting self inflicted things like Brexit and Liz Truss. Yet talk of growth, or lack of, from this Labour gov conveniently doesn't mention the above ongoing and still consequential world events, why not?

I have never said i voted Tory and I have never really mentioned pensioners, other than the context of the latest WFP cut. I think you're confusing me with RED.
Not sure i can comment on what the Tories promised in the election because they haven't had the chance to deliver them.

No Brexit was not Corbyn's fault but the Remain campaign was a feckin mess, and he was complicit in that, as a Party Leader who didn't pin his colours to the mast until April b4 the vote.
Stats show that the working class and poorer areas all voted in favour of Leave, and this is backed up by the breaking of the red wall by Boris who had more faith that he would deliver on the Brexit promises than Labour would.
I am not blaming anyone specifically....But if you want to hang the likes of Boris for the leave campaign, and the likes of Cameron for putting to the Country, then those who failed to deliver Remain also need to take the blame....It would be like complaining after a lost match that it wasnt fair the opposition made it really hard for you and played a bit dirsty and kept putting high balls into the box, and we dont like high balls. Tough shiiit, the opposition aint there to make it an easy ride for you!

Cui bono?
Well Amazon will continue avoiding tax, the supermarkets will keep prices 20% higher than 2021 along with other practices like land banking and ripping suppliers off (farmers) whilst retail fashion will still manufacture and buy from abroad whilst employing staff on the bare minimum at home.
Meanwhile how does this solve the numerous Inherited crises such as hospital waiting lists, over crowded prisons, court backlogs or the economy?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What you are doing here is making exactly the point we have been making.
Raising NI hits all businesses. Big, small, massively profitable or on the margins of profitability.
A healthy economy is a diverse one and it is the massive companies like amazon who destroy high streets, who crush small businesses by under cutting them, and squash entrepreneurism.
These companies should be the target of taxation, and i get the feeling that when someone mentions business, you immediately think of these big corporations, and your response is based on their practices which are entirely focussed on profit not people/communities/the UK/the greater good. YOu will find little objection from anyone if companies like this were made to pay their share and we should not be held over a barrel by them and any threat to they may give to being taxed appropriately.
As mentioned many many time, SMEs make up at least half the private economy and work force and that will be your local chippy, local pub, the mechanic, builder, plumber, solicitor, surveyor, shop owner, cafe, restaurant etc ...a million and one businesses who are the life blood of communities and the economy way more than these massive businesses. It is them who get hit by these rises. NI rises on Amazon is a drop in the ocean of their vast revenues. It may well send your local pub, who are already feeling the pinch of declining demand, risings costs etc, over the financial edge.
Very much like the IHT on agricultural land, Reeves has gone for the biggest money grab possible and seems to have had little regard to the consequences.

Yet it was the CEO's/spokespeople from which companies complaining in the BBC article the other day?
Where was the promised growth since 2010? CEO pay has grown, politicians pay has grown. Utility bills have grown (so have profits), so have the rents employees of companies like Amazon and supermarkets pay.
But employing more people on wages they can't live on is the path to growth and not more reliance on in work benefits (government funded) and food banks (charity funded).
Your local pub can't employ more people due to numerous things like Brexit and not paying staff a livable wage. Unless you think you can live on a 40 hour working week in a pub with those hours not guaranteed month on month?
Its the bigger companies who have lowered wages and formented this race to the bottom philosophy which has forced smaller SME's to follow suit. More of the same isn't going to bring waiting lists down or fix the many broken things in the country.

0.1% GDP growth in Q3
Rising inflation
Falling shop sales
While it is ealy days in this Govts tenure, reports on both retail and growth highlight uncertainty leading up to the budget and the negative messaging from the Govt since taking power.
The problem with the budget is that it has done nothing to alleviate these concerns, so i do not expect them to improve with lots of belt tightening going on. Whatever recovery we were having has well and truly stalled.

Also not made up, CEO pay has risen 1200% since 2010, employee wages, especially lower down the scale in shops, pubs etc, have done what in the same period?
Sorry if I don't trust the above CEO's but we've had the same false promises before and they haven't materialised.

"Brezit was voted for by the country Had Corbyn pulled his splintered arrrse off the fence quicker we may have avoided this mess. Instead the internal struggle in the mind of a man who voted against joining in the first instance left a void happily filled by the deceit of the leave campaign."
Brexit was Corbyns fault
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No Brexit was not Corbyn's fault but the Remain campaign was a feckin mess, and he was complicit in that, as a Party Leader who didn't pin his colours to the mast until April b4 the vote.
Stats show that the working class and poorer areas all voted in favour of Leave, and this is backed up by the breaking of the red wall by Boris who had more faith that he would deliver on the Brexit promises than Labour would.
I am not blaming anyone specifically....But if you want to hang the likes of Boris for the leave campaign, and the likes of Cameron for putting to the Country, then those who failed to deliver Remain also need to take the blame....It would be like complaining after a lost match that it wasnt fair the opposition made it really hard for you and played a bit dirsty and kept putting high balls into the box, and we dont like high balls. Tough shiiit, the opposition aint there to make it an easy ride for you!

Erm no it was also for companies making £250,000+ profit
"Under the previous government’s plans, the rate of Corporation Tax was to increase from 19% to 25% from April 2023 for firms making more than £250,000 profit, around 10% of actively trading companies.
Companies making between £50,000 and £250,000 would also face a rise in Corporation Tax, with the rate increasing incrementally from 19% to 25% depending on how much profit a firm was making. For the remaining 70% of actively trading companies, those who make profits of £50,000 or less, Corporation Tax was to remain at 19%.
The government has now cancelled this planned increase. Rather than rising to 25% from April 2023, the rate will remain at 19% for all firms, regardless of the amount of profit made.
At 19% the UK Corporation Tax rate is significantly lower than the rest of the G7 and the lowest in the G20."

FannyAnnie yet again getting stuff wrong!
Plus his desperate bid to avoid anything that questions the budget is slowing down growth!
All we get from the crybaby is “ I don't think 2 people, yourself and Red, who voted for more wasted money on things like Rwanda are in a position to bleat about this government, fiscal responsibility or budgets.”
I always thought we had a right to free speech, however FannyAnnie doesn’t seem to think so, he waffles on about RW tabloids and his tabloid links are mainly from that Lefty rag, The Guardian! Yup more hypocrisy from the guy who lives in a caravilla in the Costa del Sol!
Labour are drifting away from their manifesto we have a right to question what’s going on!
I’ve just read that they’re planning to invest over £536 in overseas farming projects, you can see why British farmers are up in arms!

I think they have some plan to make the countryside surplus to requirements so that it can be split up into areas to accommodate housing to meet their ridiculous pledge to deliver 1.5m houses in 5 years. (I will willingly bet my house that that is a promise they will fail to deliver, and by a massive margin!)
The rest will be given over to create a haven for foxes, who will be fed with wealthy land owners

This is what we need to stimulate growth in the economy, more Amazon warehouses, supermarket distibition centres, mini supermarkets and out of town outlet stores.
Cui bono?
Well Amazon will continue avoiding tax, the supermarkets will keep prices 20% higher than 2021 along with other practices like land banking and ripping suppliers off (farmers) whilst retail fashion will still manufacture and buy from abroad whilst employing staff on the bare minimum at home.
Meanwhile how does this solve the numerous Inherited crises such as hospital waiting lists, over crowded prisons, court backlogs or the economy?

In the example in that article Bezos employs people on shiite T&C's on wages you can't live on then burdens the NHS with this poor woman's back problems caused by work. Again all whole avoiding tax.
More of this is the path to growth and working class aspiration apparently.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What you are doing here is making exactly the point we have been making.
Raising NI hits all businesses. Big, small, massively profitable or on the margins of profitability.
A healthy economy is a diverse one and it is the massive companies like amazon who destroy high streets, who crush small businesses by under cutting them, and squash entrepreneurism.
These companies should be the target of taxation, and i get the feeling that when someone mentions business, you immediately think of these big corporations, and your response is based on their practices which are entirely focussed on profit not people/communities/the UK/the greater good. YOu will find little objection from anyone if companies like this were made to pay their share and we should not be held over a barrel by them and any threat to they may give to being taxed appropriately.
As mentioned many many time, SMEs make up at least half the private economy and work force and that will be your local chippy, local pub, the mechanic, builder, plumber, solicitor, surveyor, shop owner, cafe, restaurant etc ...a million and one businesses who are the life blood of communities and the economy way more than these massive businesses. It is them who get hit by these rises. NI rises on Amazon is a drop in the ocean of their vast revenues. It may well send your local pub, who are already feeling the pinch of declining demand, risings costs etc, over the financial edge.
Very much like the IHT on agricultural land, Reeves has gone for the biggest money grab possible and seems to have had little regard to the consequences.

Yet it was the CEO's/spokespeople from which companies complaining in the BBC article the other day?
Where was the promised growth since 2010? CEO pay has grown, politicians pay has grown. Utility bills have grown (so have profits), so have the rents employees of companies like Amazon and supermarkets pay.
But employing more people on wages they can't live on is the path to growth and not more reliance on in work benefits (government funded) and food banks (charity funded).
Your local pub can't employ more people due to numerous things like Brexit and not paying staff a livable wage. Unless you think you can live on a 40 hour working week in a pub with those hours not guaranteed month on month?
Its the bigger companies who have lowered wages and formented this race to the bottom philosophy which has forced smaller SME's to follow suit. More of the same isn't going to bring waiting lists down or fix the many broken things in the country.

SO that's:
0.1% GDP growth in Q3
Rising inflation
Falling shop sales
While it is ealy days in this Govts tenure, reports on both retail and growth highlight uncertainty leading up to the budget and the negative messaging from the Govt since taking power.
The problem with the budget is that it has done nothing to alleviate these concerns, so i do not expect them to improve with lots of belt tightening going on. Whatever recovery we were having has well and truly stalled.

This is utter rubbish back up by absolutely nothing other than you view that all employers look to exploit staff for their own gain.

"Government borrowing was much higher than expected in October, as debt interest payments hit a record high for the month and public sector pay rises contributed to higher spending."
None of this is stacking up well for Labour right now.
It's like all the old fears of what a Lab Govt does for the economy are coming true inside a few months.

Go.on then, can you get by on a zero hours contract in a pub/shop/supermarket?
" all employers look to exploit staff for their own gain"
Show me where I've said this please?
What explains the rise in in work people relying on state benefits to get by? That's not made up, neither is the increase in working people using food banks.
Also not made up, CEO pay has risen 1200% since 2010, employee wages, especially lower down the scale in shops, pubs etc, have done what in the same period?
Sorry if I don't trust the above CEO's but we've had the same false promises before and they haven't materialised.
Still no mention of the effect of world events on the economy despite attributing the same events as the reason for lack of growth under the Tories, whilst ignoring Brexit and Liz Truss, funny that.

This is what you have said
CEOs taking big money & bonuses home
Big business paying min wage and zero contract hours
SME's dragged in a race to the bottom in terms of wages and conditions
You paint a picture of all businesses being unfair to their employees, not paying them fairly or enough and offering them awful contracts while bosses coin it.
You have described exploiting staff with out saying exploiting staff!
