UK economy, a great ship, has a lot in common with its sister ships, the Bismark, Missouri and Titanic. All floated on hopes and dreams.

Sunak said; "my government will have integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level" - what we have is *dishonesty, recklessness and irresponsibility* .

2 simple rules for life;
No.1 - Never trust a tory
No.2 - Never forget rule number 1

"Rishi talks more shite" is more accurate

Sunak should quit now as he's going to get demolished whenever the next election takes place.

Problem is, sunak was in Hedge Funds, making Money by dubious means with Other Peoples Money, he now thinks He can do the same for the Economy, which is akin to someone playing '' Snap '' then going to make a fortune at Vegas .

Going from 19 - 25% tax is all you need to know

[schrodingerscat]

His plan to grow the economy is nothing more than a childish wish, who is going to invest in tech and industry in a country with such a tax burden and no incentives for entrepreneurs. It is clear Sunak's view of the world is little better than that of a child and seems to have little idea what encourages real growth. No he would rather throw tax money around like confetti then raise taxes to pay for his financial profligacy.

Rubbish jobs, with rubbish conditions and rubbish wages. I wonder why these jobs can't be filled?

Misleading title wtf, where’s the plan

[disaffected_malcontent]

High taxes and austerity cannot deliver growth, it never has and never will.

This looks like permits for a select few rich people that live in eu!

If you ever have the capacity to understand that the government has not increased taxes in order to fund spending requirements, but has increased spending in order to justify tax increases to make you poor, then everything about this criminality makes sense. Hence the spending on Covid, net zero, Ukraine, HS2, illegal immigration, climate reparations etc etc.

Sunak…this is my plan and if it doesn’t work I couldn’t give 2 fucks as myself and pals are still minted….👍

Never vote tory again that's for sure

[hasmax]

Wait hold on, we voted brexit, now we want everything we voted to come out of!

[stefanoamato]

Brexit can deliver and is already delivering enormous benefits and opportunities for UK, what he's talking about?! We can all see how UK is going down shite since Brexit. We are facing the worst economic crisis and he's talking about benefits, yes benefits that went in his pocket!
Ridiculous!

You can't grow the economy by rasing taxes 🤬
