Rishi’s lunch is £450 at restaurant. Don’t be fooled.

[MathersMahmood]

No money for us but money for war and other countries.

Why not increase the basic personal tax allowance? It has been frozen for many years, and hits the lowest paid hardest.

[AngelaH]

Any "gains" are wipped ou entirely if you get desperate waiting for an NHS procedure and are forced to go private... I'm fed up with the Tories painting tax-cuts as if they are doing us a favour...We're just screwingg ourselves over if we fall for their nonsense

[Woovillage]

Majority of UK.. students, part time workers, benefits, OAP, apprentices, new parents live off £600 a month on average enough to last a week in the current climate… they are a bunch of clowns

[SchantaKlaus]

Rishi's face - these meagre annual amounts are what he spends on lunch!

[HowardKlein]

I am more worried about our Chancellor and his in-laws who live in China. Conflict of interest is an understatement.

My beat sergeant 40 years ago said " Watch their eyes it will tell you all you want to nuff said I think.

[Aceborn-Gaming]

This is a stealth tax increase for the poor as the wages going up next year means they will get more money back. And as always more tax benefits for the rich.

Do they realise that the suggested help... will be nearly 6 months time, do they not see the rising debt that people are going to be in, once this time comes, the electric & gas goes up in January the coldest month, well played 🖕

[mrdaveythebaby]

I'm pretty sure that wages rising was the exact opposite of their plan. I mean, they actually said that and wasted so much money trying to prevent public sector pay going up.

[elitezafficobra]

If the NHS collapses. None of this matters. I have never been disappointed and pessimistic about the NHS as I am now.

[SeraphineF]

Stop letting Shell Pay NO Tax!
That would do it!🙏💜🇬🇧💜🌏💜

Commercial vehicle VED went up from £260 to £320! How is this helping small independent traders .

[CensoredbyYTforhavinganopinion]

Why would anyone give Jeremy the destroyer hunt a position of power he destroys everything he touches

[Omni_God]

I know it may not go over well with the public but I wish His Majesty would use he's power to remove certain people from office that would help the UK a whole lot more than anything the Tories have ever done.

[muirislandjim]

He's smug when he should be apologetic but committed. They live in a fantasy land.

[hiddentruth]

MPs salary should cut by 50% for at least six months....

[safirahmed]

It's time for Tory politicians to represent their electorate and not billionaire Tory party donors.

It's time for a household wealth cap for political candidates and MPs of £10 million with those whose wealth exceeds the wealth cap resigning and not eligible to become MPs.
