Yes I noticed that this morning MV. I wonder what the stupid Red Ed makes of that.

Brixton,

Vote for no one and deserve what you get 🤣

“The number of people in jobs slumped in December amid fears over Rachel Reeves’s record tax-raising Budget, according to official tax data.

Payrolled employment dropped by 47,000 last month to 30.3m, the steepest fall since the pandemic.

The decline - which tracks the number of workers in the Pay As You Earn income tax system - follows a drop of more than 32,000 in November.

It raises fears that the Chancellor’s £25bn National Insurance raid on employers in October has undermined businesses’ willingness to take on more workers.

There were 740,000 job vacancies available in December, according to the Office for National Statistics, down from 858,000 in October, on the eve of the Budget.

The unemployment rate edged up to 4.4pc in the three months to November.”

And Labour want to reduce the welfare bill ? Funny way of going about it 🤔

DCB can’t because he’s addicted to trolling and mischief-making. I’m surprised you haven’t managed to work that out for yourself by now wanderingon.

It’s the left that talked the country down. Starmer and Reeves did nothing but talk the country down when they took power and the country is now paying the price. Growth flatlined, higher inflation, lower employment, plummeting retail sales, higher mortgage rates, higher taxes and lower business confidence. Don’t know what planet you’re from offmessage.

Nice one Rachel 🙄

I too have Looroll on filter for making things up that I never wrote. Not debating with people like that or reading their material.

Plenty of you socialists on here DCB that don’t own Lloyd’s shares but use this forum to spew your left wing 🐂 💩

“The UK may already be in recession as Rachel Reeves’s record tax raid brings “extended agony” for the economy, an investment bank has warned.

National GDP may be shrinking after a swathe of Labour policies that have “notably damaged” economic growth, analysts at Shore Capital said.

The warning came as separate figures showed consumer confidence has plunged to a 12-month low as households worry that they will lose their jobs in the wake of the Budget.

Clive Black, of Shore Capital, said the UK may have entered 2025 in a “technical recession”, which is classed as two quarters of declining GDP.

He added: “The Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have notably damaged the momentum of the UK economy since they came to power through their flawed messaging and policy announcements.”

Top man Tophat 👍👍

Well we know most teachers vote Labour. Not exactly a good start is it Matt ? The economy is in a tailspin now, a quarter of Labours voters regret their choice at the ballot box and they have pis*ed off pensioners, farmers, private school pupils, taxpayers etc etc.

Perhaps most of us on here are missing something ?

Of course Brix won’t say who he voted for before UKIP and Reform came into existence. I wonder why that is 🤔

“Andrew Bailey has warned Rachel Reeves against slashing regulations in her drive for growth, cautioning that “none of us will be forgiven for missing the next crisis”.

The Governor of the Bank of England said it was critical that rules introduced after the financial crisis were not abandoned, and called for regulators around the world to increase their vigilance against potential new risks.”

Looks like Rachel is getting more and more desperate to get some growth. U-turn on your entire budget might be a start Ms Thieves 🙄

Yup, the rise in the FTSE today is due to a collapsing pound and hopes of interest cuts courtesy of the appalling retail sales figures this morning.

Looks like the mistakes of the past are going to happen again. I guess with this Labour rabble in charge, once they choke off parental assistance by way of increased inheritance tax, they need to find another way to get youngsters on the housing ladder. It will end in tears at some point again no doubt.

Ollerdeekid,

The plunging pound is helping the FTSE because it is full of global companies. Fools gold if you think it is an indictment of Labours economic policies. Retail sales plunging, growth plunging, hiring plunging, business confidence plunging, unemployment rising etc etc.

Take your rose-tinted spectacles off please.

Correct hardup 👍

You can make £3,000 before CGT in this financial year. You can not carry forward unused allowances from previous years.
