Just as we’d all accepted that income tax rises were coming, we find they are not. This government is bonkers.

You couldn’t make it up. A u-turn after last week’s presser from Rachel Reeves? I mean, really?? I so want Labour to succeed but they’re making it so hard. And the dropping of the exit tax proposal for billionaires, really makes me despair. It works for Germany and others but UK Treasury says no 🥴

Presume that’s why they’ve resolved budget disputes with Romania, Bulgaria and Moldova - to get more countries participating but also for the money… A basic Eurovision is possible, especially if Austria and the rest of the big 5 help out. But I think the EBU will keep ISR in unfortunately

Of course if Shona Robison could somehow manage to avoid income tax rises, then Scottish workers would directly benefit - their national insurance would be reduced with no accompanying income tax increase. Wouldn’t that be tempting ahead of an election…

Because of the Fiscal Framework, the @scotgov would have little option, it seems to me, but to raise taxes to at least the same level as the UK - assuming the Chancellor does hike income tax in 3 weeks

Maybe being PM / governing is just impossible in Britain these days. Social
Media and 24hr news make it impossible.
Maybe it’s not just Britain. Worldwide, which leader is currently doing a good job? Can’t think of a single one.
