    Hands up, those members of the Scottish public who want to pay more income tax.

    Hands up, those members of the public who will vote for the SNP/ Greens at the next elections.

    certainly no one here would be impressed by an economy ran like the finland model.

    high taxes but a high standard of living in return.

    that library in helsinki is something else.

    noticed the new witch doctor voodoo threads from usa had been deleted. tried to explain that black magic can't cross moving water and that the sales pitch was all  scuffed because of that, but i was too slow.

    well, it was something you don't see everyday.

    Cost of Living Crisis

    Also worth mentioning while the price of gas and electricity is going down the Standing Charge has doubled and will continue to climb as energy companies see this as a way of continuing to keep profits at maximum and their wealthy share holders happy and keep high fiving Tory politicians. Electricity SC charges are mental just now. Absolutely not buying into this bullcrap of blaming failed energy companies and the cost of fixing power lines as if this is a new thing. Ofgem set a new lower ceiling recently and the energy companies will continue to exploit houseowners regardless and charge what ever they want inside the cap limits. It's blatant profiteering but perfectly ok within the limits set by Ofgem. I would not be surprised if those people that make up Ofgem have a conflict of interest and a blind eye is turned.

    Rishi trumpeting this as a great achievement despite it being the easiest of his targets to meet, having very little to do with anyting his government have  done  and still being almost 2 1/2 times the official BoE target of 2%.

     

    Yay Rishi. What a guy. 🤔

    Just wait until all those people who have or own property realise how much of this is bullshit, no.... all of this is bullshit, if they haven't already. How will the banks react to this incredible number juggling, especially concerning climbing mortgage rates and the housing market, which isn't being pulled out of the mud. No £400 off household energy bills either this winter for lower incomes, so everyone is still paying more now and this will continue. The Government are on a completely different planet from reality.

    But I suppose if they and their pals in banking have had their bonus caps removed, then it will be no f***s given even if they lose the next election, they can always default blame Labour for making a mess of the economy.
