"Why Rachel Reeves may have to raise UK taxes in Octobers budget"

Because the UK is flat broke. Too many incompetant, superannuated people in charge. Too many that cannot understand it's up to themselve to support themselves. The good old days of work free living on benefits are gone. The world has indeed changed.

The UK's "perilous" public finances, Hang on to your backsides folks, time to shelve that big ticket expense. Chancellor Rachel Reeves wants your money and she's already worked out how to get it. The more you have, the more she's going to take.

UK Benefit cuts. The true scale has yet to be revealed. The Governments tactics are," a little at a time", let the country get used to it "bit by bit." You lot haven't seen the true picture so far.

"Downing Street considers U-turn on cuts to benefits for disabled people"

The Key word there is, "CONSIDERS". You can bet there will still be "adjustments" to payments and hard looks at claims.

The UK's finances are in a shocking state. Welfare fraud, disability fraud, "won't work, will not work". NEET's. And as for the bloated public sectors bleeding the system.

The great readjustments to UK finances are coming, forced by the state of the world finances.

"Sir Keir Starmer suffers cabinet uprising over UK spending cuts."

It's not just the Labour Government in crisis, it's the whole of the UK and the rest of the world. Too many humans on the planet all fighting between themselves for survival.

"Starmer to scrap NHS England and bring health service back under "democratic control"

The Tories planned this years ago, Now this labour government has forced to take the same decision. TOO many old sick people living longer, TOO many immigrants, TOO many work shy free loaders on the benefit system. The World is overloaded with over population. Hopefully Mother nature will intervene to save the planet Earth.

"Billions of pounds in spending cuts - including welfare - expected in spring statement"

"The chancellor's £9.9 billion headroom has been wiped out by months of economic downturn and geopolitical events since the budget in October"

And the UK gives £billions to outsiders. Good old Brits, they can take anything and "keep a stiff upper lip"

Great Yarmouth and area (Norfolk)has now been overrun with very old OAP dribblers, all seem to now own and drive a very big SUV, German, Jap, korean, box on wheels. These OAP coffin dodgers have no spacial awarness on the roads. Their sight seems to be well below legal requirement. Their reaction times are what you would expect from such advanced age. And the car sales industry loves them. Money rules over human life.

Perhaps in the UK, the powers that control, allows people to use cannabist use as a self medication for their stress and anxiety/ pain relief, that saves the NHS vast amounts of money prescribing expensive anti psychotic drugs and anti depressants. The stench is everywhere, which seems to be the norm. Perhaps the UK's benefits system allows for this fact!!!!

Donald Trump is a businessman not a politician. He, and his advisors see the gathering storm clouds in the west, exactly like 1939 and is putting clear blue water between themselves and involvement. Europe has been coasting along for many decades off the back of american might and power. There is about to be a seismic shock wave when Europe (and the UK) has to stump up and defend itself. It has already started with the possiblities of national call ups, and increased funding to the defence of nations. The UK will see tax increases, welfare cuts, etc. The UK is broke, the days of easy credit and "have what you like, whenever you like it" are soon to end. Expect big changes soon, world wide.

"Rachel Reeves can be trusted, says Labour minister" Chancellor Rachel Reeves can "absolutely" be trusted, a minister has said, despite questions about her CV and use of expenses while working at a bank.

Oh, the dirty world of politics in the UK. These people really are a lower class of creature, no morals, no conscience, no shame.

Rachel Reeves ‘investigated over expenses’ while working at bank

I wonder how frantic the Labour party backroom crims are now working to bury this one? Wait for the political shat to start sliding to cover up this piece of corruption.

" Albanian criminal’s deportation halted over son’s distaste for chicken nuggets." Albanian criminal’s deportation halted over son’s distaste for chicken nuggets from other countries.

If this is true, (National UK news),The UK immigration tribunal that gave this ruling should be disbanded, and those responsible charged with insanity.

The United Kindom, once a great nation, now a cess pit of corruption and decay. Political incompetence, greedy state run cartels, over run by immigrants and criminals. Politicians that are only in power for their own bloated ego's and lie's. The country is ripe for revolution. The pot is boiling over.
