Yes, because they are right wing, can't come to terms that Labour are in power...

- Sir Keir Starmer has chaired the first-ever meeting of a new Council of the Nations and Regions in Edinburgh.

Great initiative by Labour to get the regions to work together to make the UK a economic powerhouse again!

Strong close

Oh no! LeeRex, 'the King of Pointless posts', is back!

"Labour needs £25bn a year in tax rises to rebuild public services, warns IFS"

- Thinktank says tax increases in budget will be necessary even if Rachel Reeves changes fiscal rules

- Keir Starmer’s promise to end austerity and rebuild public services will require tax increases of £25bn a year

- it has been reported that the chancellor plans to change the way in which debt is calculated to provide up to £50bn of extra spending headroom.

- Ben Nabarro, chief UK economist at Citi – the bank responsible for the economic forecasts underpinning the IFS’s tax, spending and borrowing assumptions – said there was a risk of a “buyers’ strike”(a run on government bonds) unless Reeves made it clear any increase in investment spending would be gradual.

The final point is a bit ominous!

Our mate Gordon, "in his final budget held in 2016, he cut CGT rates to 10% for lower earners and 20% for higher earners which was half the level of corresponding income tax rates. Capital gains made from property were still taxed at rates of 18% and 28%."

Popcorn out folks for the forthcoming budget!

Labour have improved the 'mood music', which has metamorpised into the improvements quoted by darth.

Clearly, Labour turning the economy around, after we escaped from the disasterous tory mismanagement.

Just need to plug the tory 22BN black hole hole now and we'll be sorted!

MV, get a life!

If the tories didn't leave the 22 billion black hole, in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

You can place the blame at the door of the right wingers on this forum.

Foolsgoldfools, perhaps we geta bit ofa dip in lloyds b4 the budget. To be expected really.

Still looks like an upward trajectory for lloyds

LeeRex, you most certainly are as thick as a post!

Clear lack of any form of education!

I'm actually amazed you can string a sentence together.

How about you get over the fast that the tories lost the election, and stop ranting on about Labour?

Come on TFE, we need to protect employee rights. Labour are only re-establishing the balance, after years of erosion of employee rights, under the tories.

I'm afraid the right are just going to have to suck it up for 4 years!

Really great we are in the hands of a left wing socialist government.

I'm l@@king forward to the imminent budget.

Popcorn at the ready!

Can't argu with that Brixton.

Great day for our nation!

LeeRex, give it a rest!

Who cares what you think?
