- “Labour’s mantra is that it has no plans to increase the taxes of working people…When politicians say they have no plans, it usually means they do, but they're just not telling us.”
Andrew Neil is joined by The Times’s policy editor Oliver Wright and economist Liam Halligan to dissect Labour’s manifesto.

These frequent tax code changes are disrupting my long-term investment strategies. Are there ways to structure my investments to be more resilient to potential tax code modifications?
I honestly think America needs a completely restructure of their political system. It is just not working. Trump and Biden being elected out of 300 million people to run the country is evidence for that too.
This is why the US should elect more progressive politicians, who know how to manage budgets and give us (yes, pur country's initials literally spell out that pronoun) much better tax credits in return for better public education and better public healthcare. but since these are nonexistent, my husband and I are being guided to finance our retirement and healthcare through a diversified investment portfolio

Annette Marie Holt is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
What Labour hasn’t admitted is that the home owners, landlords, motorists, all business owners, pensioners, and many others will be hit with tax rises. Just going about our daily lives car fuel taxes will rise, vehicle licensing will rise, insurance will be taxed, access to towns and cities will be taxed, ULEZ will be everywhere. Taxes on food and drink will rise. Everything will get more expensive so taxes are raised for Labour’s pledges.
The Tory must stay in Power to fix what they broke. Millions more would perish but that is a sacrifice the Wealthy are willing to make.
You'll be okay, as nobody has mentioned tampering with the cost of your Kool-Aid
@@reasonerenlightened2456 Please tell me you are joking if you belive a word that comes out of SUNAKs mouth you are delutional.Both main parties are corrupt and have only filled their own pockets. why do you think they both like a two party first passed the post voting system. Because no matter which side of the house they are on they are back on the gravy train but the one in charge is the banker. wake up VOTE REFORM UK..... change the system change the country.
Council tax will be rising
Labour never could be trusted where tax was involved!
Labour will do what socialist's always do print money and spend it. Just like the commeservatives have just done. As Well as put tax's
How dare you mention Liebour and trust in the same sentence, go wash your mouth out
brainwashed by the tories
@@clairewilliams8225 as of yet Labour have given no idea how their going to fund anything other than tax the rich. Won't trust a socialist to balance the books. As for the Tory party less said about them the better apart form what the difference between them and Labour. (UNIPARTY)...
@Will-u3s Well you'll have to stop crying sometime chum, after all I'm one of those laughing at clowns like you!!!
Council tax is stuck in 1991? Mine has gone up year by year since then, and is now the most expensive in England.
They mean the valuation of your house in 1991 which if revalued will no doubt result in a higher council tax bill, particularly for those in London and the South East.
Gordon Brown who didn't know how banks work.
Don’t forget who sold the country’s Gold Reserves of when gold was at its lowest value
It was Gordon Brown who is advising Flip Flop
Gordon Brown was/is an idiot.
Gordon Brown’s plans are now coming to fruition. They weren’t meant to happen overnight but with Labour now they will happen.
To sustain a free market You must tax the extreme concentration of Wealth and then give it evenly to everybody , again and again, so that the market can have customers.
@@reasonerenlightened2456not evenly, but yes, some redistribution is needed to save capitalism from itself.

ULEZ is a huge tax on working people!
No mention of Foreign Aid?
Inheritance Tax?
Taxing Pensions, Savings and Investments?
Council Tax and Capital Gains?

Labour Tax , Tax and more Tax
Fingers crossed that's the case, we need atleast 20 billion worth of rises.
They might as well print their manifestos on toilet paper for how long they last after they get in power. They should all start with "this is a work of fiction "
Yeah this clown show are not telling us the truth. No left wing governments can stimulate growth. America is in the financial sh..s. Biden has stuffed up. And thatvwill certainly affect us. Beers playbook for a massive whoops. Ffs
Hahah very well said. NOTHING WILL CHANGE. They never have and never will stick to what they promise.
Council tax bands haven't changed but councill tax has. The band is now just a property rating. The valuation has nothing to do with what we pay. To assume any other is pure ignorance.
Or stupidity.
What is it actually calculated on?
@@mikeparrott8304 In England and Scotland it's the property value as it would have been in 1991. In Wales 2003.
Changing that to current value shouldn't significantly change banding in most cases.
It's the banding that sets the tax.
The Tory must stay in Power to fix what they broke. Millions more would perish but that is a sacrifice the Wealthy are willing to make.
I vote for the party that would give me what I want:
1) To sustain a free market You must tax the extreme concentration of Wealth and then give it evenly to everybody , again and again, so that the market can have customers.
2) Do not let foreign entities extract profit from our markets. We must extract profits from their markets.
@eljay5009 a tax on your property is a form of Wealth tax.

they vagued off in 2010, now they're back
Wait until motorists get their tax bills. car tax fuel tax it will go up under the guise of being green tax.
Watch my lips “Stealth Taxes”
They can’t touch Council Tax unless they want to be just a one term government - it would be insane and poll tax all over again
I like the proposal from Reform. No income tax until you are earning £20k. Higher rate tax only kicks in at £70k. Why are these proposals not being discussed by the media? We deserve to know more.
They are planning to scrap the interest we pay on the Bank of England's funny money printing scheme which is going to cost us around 100 billion over the next 2 years.
Of course, these lot wouldn't mention it they are funded and run by the state institutions that profit from it
Because they're obvious lies.
@ColinBarrett001 No it's because they don't want to advertise the way things could be different.
Go do some research on how much we are paying the Bank of England in the next 2 years on interest payments for the fake money that's been printed since 2008 and come back to me
Liz truss was to cut 45% rate to 40% and it crashed uk bond values, making all expenses higher. What do you think would happen with those reform ideas
@Jay-xr3sb it depends on where you're saving it. Look at the interest we are paying the Bank of England for all the funny money we have printed
Plus the Labour Manifesto does not reveal that Starmergeddon has a certain Tony Blair as his Chief Advisor (SPAD).
We know.
Also Tony Blair took us to war, opened the gates for immigration and Starmer and Cherie Blair were CPS for human rights at the time labour was power. Do people seriously think he will step back from this. The gates will be removed and everyone will be welcome under labour.

If Labour gets in, everyone needs to leave the UK!
Show me the door ,
My money is all on our Pension funds, Gordon Brown shadow is still here.
No one mentioned the tax that keeps on giving - THE INFLATION TAX.
To make a point that council tax hasn't been revalued since the 90s is a nonsense...every year it goes up by 5% (in my area) even thought interest rates have been almost zero for 10+ years.. So much so that I was worried council tax would eventually become unpayable.
it was Gordan brown labour who put tax on pensioners
The more Labour promises not to put up tax the more I expect them to come after private pensions. Public sector pensions will only ever get better.
For sure. Standard Liebour, go after the successful to make the mass feel good.
The Tory must stay in Power to fix what they broke. Millions more would perish but that is a sacrifice the Wealthy are willing to make.
@@reasonerenlightened2456 It is not the wealthy that will suffer most when Sir Keir with or without the advice of Lord Blair is in charge.
They can afford the pain of a bit extra tax. The pension I will have after working on the shop floor for 45 years is little enough without socialists help themselves to a slice of it. The rich will have money hidden behind the best accountants and lawyers.
It is not the rich who will have their daughters living next to the foreign criminals Labour will create easy legal ways into this country while shutting down any way of deporting them. It will not be the rich that suffer when working wages are kept down and house prices kept up by continuing mass immigration.
It is not the rich that will suffer from increasing crowding as more houses have to be built to provide subsidised housing for immigrants.
It is not the rich that will suffer when Sir Keir, without any referenda, changes the constitution to make the left’s hold on the elected part of power as strong as it already is on the unelected part of power.
Don't worry about tax , worry about sharia. Worry about the open doors policy to immigration.

They keep saying the will not raise income tax or N.I, but they are going to keep thresholds frozen until 2018. That is raising those taxes.
Vote greens
@@crapisnice I think a little research goes along way before commenting, the Greens propose hiking both Income tax and N.I. The want to raise N.I from 2 to 8% for anyone earning over 50k a year, 50k isn't a bad salary but certainly it certainly does not count as rich. To part fund there Universal basic income, they propose removing tax allowances on n.i and income completely. Even with the Introduction of UBI millions of people not far up the income scale would be much worse off.
@@crapisnice The Greens pledge the biggest rise in Income tax and N.I by abolishing tax allowances altogether. Even with the Introduction of ubi, most people would be worse off. Not to mention the hike in n.i from 2 to 8% on upper earnings.
Why would I vote for a party that would hike those taxes more than the Tories or Labour.
Exactly. Devalue the £1 and don't touch the tax threshold = stealth tax through inflation.
All manifesto's fall apart after the first year. people have short memories and this give 4 additional years of surviving the lie.
They will line their own pockets they always have.
Don't tell us half the story Starmer. Be up front and tell us the whole story. Any manifesto should be legally binding. If it's not in it you can't do it.
???? And if you can't get the legislation through Parliament, you can't do it either.
@@stoobydootoo4098but if you have a comfortable majority this is not an issue. And, despite the problems of Tory governance in the last 14 years, not all of which were within their control, the Tory voters must not abandon them.

I've headed enough from the tories I'll be voting Labour.
@@pip1723 in which case you’ll be much worse off, particularly if you have any unearned income. 8bn of additional taxes in Labour manifesto outstripping current levels under the Tories and nothing that will actually achieve greater growth - just sound bites. Covid, High energy costs (Ukraine war) were outside the government’s control and resulted in a massive hike of national debt. Arguably would have been much worse under Labour, for example Starmer advocated harder and longer lockdowns during Covid which would have had a greater adverse effect on the economy. Yes, the Tories have not helped themselves but I do fear for the consequences of the next 5 or worse still, 10 years under Labour.
Nothing Labour will do will drive growth. Investment is already leaving the UK in droves.
That’s why if you have money you can get it out of the Country. Thats why Socialism never works even though the fools keep trying .

Serious question: why is it that Labour pledging to keep the main 3 taxes at their current rate is so intensely scrutinised but The Tories pledging tax cuts left and right isnt? If the economic forecast isnt great how could the Tories afford to cut taxes without making major cuts to public services? This point never seems to be analysed. If they’re offering tax cuts to voters i think we should be picking that apart as much as any Labour manifesto plans.
They plan on cutting Welfare by 12 billion - that is stated in the Tory manifesto/pledge
The conservatives manifesto was fully costed. Labours was not. There is no conspiracy, tax revenue would be lower but would pick up through increased spending and therefore economic growth.

Really, who trusts any politician regardless of party.
Your opinion is what they want you to have. It allows for creation of non voters because whats the point. Low voter turnout generally leads to bad governments.
I trust they want to keep their jobs, and if we actually organised as a country and demanded better we'd get it.
Yeah I've trust in politicians I've no trust in the gas lighting media though .
Lazy comment. You are trying that republican party trick to try and stop people from going out to vote. We are onto your type.
Since 1976 (48 years) The British people have only voted for one Labour leader to be their prime minister and he was a disaster.
I’ve always found that quite hilarious in a sense. Even though Labour will get a PM this time, the amount of taxes they are going to have to implement for the bulk of their agenda is mind numbing. I don’t always agree with Neil, but his guess that after 6 months Labour will be very unpopular doesn’t actually seem far fetched.
@@thomashowe1509 Who says Labour will get into power like that is a given is that because the polls say so and how often have they been correct.

Capital gains tax needs to be means tested.
Why should i pay the same rate as a billionaire?
We need total tax reform but nobody is brave enough to do it.
Labour had no manifesto they kept quiet and relied on the public being fed up with the conservatives, how our system can let this lot in is beyond me
I would like it to be known before the siht hits the fan my family friends and I did not vote for labour.
Remember when Maggie tried that old chestnut of a poll tax, in the 90s.The demonstrations soon put a stop to that. Maybe it's time to rise up again, as Labour may have labelled "there will be no tax increases" incorrectly.
"Can't pay, won't pay"
Labour has no understanding of economic growth and like Governments before them will see a decline in real economic returns. Their focus is to increase taxation as its primary means of increasing public spending. This has been going on for years and is draining the prosperity of everyone regardless of class. There needs to be a wholescale revolt against a political system that is directing the peoples savings towards individuals and corporate interests that makes a few much richer and the poor much poorer.
Its all coblers revees is allready blown it she said there is not enough money for me to do .my job excuses why they need to put up taxes lies llies and more lies 😊

You cannot run a country without taxes and the mess cons have left us in, something has to give and its going to happen, but if its goes into the country and not pockets , bring it on !!! Labour 🎉
So council tax is going to go through the roof under labour. How about getting the people that use services to pay for them.

😂😂😂 I just love the idea of the Tories - WHO HAVE GIVEN US THE HIGHEST TAXES SINCE WW2 - telling us to fear Labour - WHO CUT TAXES UNDER BLAIR - will raise taxes.
Fair enough and I get it, we had to increase tax for various reasons. But it’s now and future that matters and Im not satisfied with the Labour Manifesto which wasn’t clear how they helping working people. Just being honest.

A revenue neutral revaluation would be good for poorer people, not so good for me, but it's the right thing to do.
I'm in a similar position. I have some faith that fewer poorer people will lead to things like less crime, better health (and so less stress on the NHS) and a slightly more chill "higher trust" society, so while it may well hit your and my bank balance, we will be truly better off.
I have no idea whether Labour can achieve that, but I'm certain the Tory's weren't even trying!
"A revenue neutral revaluation would be good for poorer people" No it won't,. You need to tackle wealthy inequality to prevent the deathslide that's going on. Tinkering around the edges is what the tories have been doing for 14 years.

Why? Do you think they might win? Labour are going to win and we need some scrutiny of what they are saying. Tax will go up. It always does with Labour.
The question is why is the Labour Manifesto so confusing compare to other parties. It’s not clear how they’re helping working people if they are the party of working people
@@nimzgaz7049 I guess we'll see but experience elsewhere, especially in parts of Europe, is that policies like net-zero do not help working people, in fact quite the reverse, hence the rise of populists pushing back against it.
As to confusion well that's merely an extension of what's been happening over the past coupe of years where Labour has been trying to be all things to all men. More rights for workers and business growth for example don't sit comfortably together and there are many similar examples of policy objectives which seem at variance with each other. History tells us in such cases you either upset one half or your voters by pursuing one of the objectives and not the other, or compromise on all of the objectives and upset all of your voters.
Labour are benefitting right now from not being the tories. That'll win you one election but it won't win you two. Their support will melt away very quickly if things turn out differently to what the electorate have been led to expect.

Keir Starmer's words may as well be written on the River Thames.
Very good discussion. Andrew Neil always nails it. Of course, we can all rely on Labours Manifestation Policies. Now I'm going to click the heels of my Ruby Red slippers and go home.
But really! Can we keep having these characters we see in government leading this country? Gordon brown who said in a meeting in America that he didn't know how banks work. Fine figure of a Chancellor of the Exchequer. Rishi Sunak who walks away from Normandy in a well planned routine laid down months before by himself and his advisers. Then, to add insult to injury, conjures up a sudden General Election and times it for July 4th. This was no accident.
The truth about Parliament which people need to see through if they have not done so is it is just Smoke and Mirrors. One party passing the reigns to another when things get tough so that citizens think things will get better.
Here is a perfect example: Labour is going to get MI5 to tackle the criminals who are responsible for people trafficking. So what was the previous Conservative government doing, getting MI5 to turn a blind eye? The answer is a Chicken and Egg answer. Parliament are putting themselves above MI5, because MI5 should be doing this job around the clock, not when asked to by a new government. This should be a security routine else what are all those COBRA meeting about? Oh! Sorry! My fault! I didn't hear right. They are COBBLERS meetings.
Had to reply so that They Know that We Know that They Know that, We Know!
I don't understand, how are they going to make enough electricity to keep all the cars, Lorries, trains etc.. the roads would hVe to be widened in certain areas, where would we put all the chargers. We all use more electric, in the winter, are there going to be blackouts.. sorry just asking
Hopefully there'll be an incentive to work.

SCRAP legal aid for NON UK residents! This will stop illegals spending hundred's of thousands pounds each on legal aid & hotel costs etc! Make convicted criminals in jail do WORK to pay their jail cost!
Starmer also opened up on a topic he hasn’t shared much about: how he and his Jewish wife are raising his children to recognize their Jewish faith. Starmer, who succeeded Jeremy Corbyn earlier this year, said Monday that he was “brought up Church of England, loosely, and my wife’s family are Jewish, they came out from Poland.” As reported in The Times of Isreal 29 Dec 2020. He kept that quiet in the UK
He'll say anything to undermine Labours popularity.
It’s only popular with Muslims .👍
There's completely no money ya daft trucker & Sir Kneel & the completely London centric Liebour Party will be very unpopular with all the tax rises for ''working people.''
Agreed... You can smell the desperation.
