Council tax is going up massively in April. The cost of living is going up massively in April. Those of us that have been working throughout the pandemic and are still working are set to suffer. We are the ones who will end up paying for the furlough. The government will not help us.

Can’t even watch this stuff. The government has wasted all our money that we’ve ever worked for.

So furlough is extended past June? That seems very strange. Almost like they have no intention of opening up again.

Nothing for the frontline low paid workers who worked throughout the pandemic risking life and limb keeping the country running and who paid their taxes whilst the middle class sat at home collecting £2500 a month for over a year ....How unfair is that
I think a one off payment for bus drivers nurses binmen etc should be paid ....

I cant wait for my tax to go up to pay for all the people who were on furlough.

The working class is always the one who suffers the most.

Any person, who worked through this so-called pandemic, should not get a tax rise.

Looks like my prices are going up 5% then because I’m not funding it.

Sunak's trousers are a little short, don't you think?

Everybody should start buying Gold, Silver and Crypto now. Before the obvious financial crash comes and the largest wealth transfer in history goes down.
