Agree 100% but British people voted for it, especially the underprivileged ones. Many of them support brexit to this day. They got conned by few etoncretins, and now they support Farage, I struggle to be sympathetic, they deserve what's coming.

Does this apply also to the children of Rees-Mogg, Johnson, Farage, Tice and all the substandard individuals that you regularly support or invite to write on your paper? Or it's just advice for the plebs?

Ian Hislop is a national treasure.

I agree with you, but I also think it would give them a chance to win the next elections. I still hope that the majority of the country would support bold policies (of either political colour) and also forgive some mistakes from someone genuinely trying to stop the managed decline affecting the UK.

The problem is not the budget but their uninspiring, mediocre policies: on brexit, Gaza, welfare, the NHS, the tax and pension system... This is a government just desperately trying to hang on to power and their strategy is to change as little as possible in a country that needs change desperately.

Yeah those wretched folks that pay the bills for the rest of the country and avoid the North to become like the poor regions of Bulgaria or Moldova. They have it too good, I agree, they should be taxed even more.

2 million does not buy a house in a decent neighborhood in Kensington. At best you can get a nice relatively small flat, in the good areas prices are still above 2k per square foot.

Simple solution: stop working, stop studying and find a way to go on benefits. It's easy, fake a mental health problem, if you are a young lady consider becoming a single mum. Or if you instead really want to do something more with you life, emigrate.

90 billion, almost 4 timese the tax intake of the latest budget! And what is the government doing about it? Absolutely nothing; mostly because in the constituencies of its ministers Brexit is still popular. So no Single Market, no Schengen, just ridiculous empty promises of "making Brexit work".

A big swing like the leftist version of Liz and Kwasi masterpiece? My advice would be to look less at the tabloids and more at the Gilt or the newsflow relevant for the markets, hopefully that would put the budget in a different perspective for you.

Il ragazzo deve emigrare, specialmente se é competente e ha voglia di lavorare. In Italia talento e operosità non pagano.

A 2 million pounds house in London is not a mansion, they may be shameful, but the new property tax is more designed to appease a the envy of some Labour voters than to make money or put in place the right incentives.

Boris Johnson, inadvertently. He was sent the transcript by mistake and then forgot the phone unlocked in a massage studio in Soho...

Fantastic move. Now all of us who made sacrifices to have one or two kids and support them, paying for food, clothes, childcare while at work, not getting any help whatsoever, will be taxed so that your voters can have 3+ kids and be stay home parents.

In fact Labour should not worry about billionaires but about self sustaining British families that are fed up of paying Scandinavian style taxes to receive third world services and instead fund a benefits system completely out of control.
