The other side of that though is that to properly reduce taxes we will need to abandon the post WW2 welfare state, state pension and the NHS. Too many in the UK have a meltdown at the thought. They simply can't be afforded anymore.
@@PeacockRhino They could be afforded for decades. 14 years of Tories telling you they can't be any more and everyone falls for it. Sad. We're the sixth richest nation in the world (or thereabouts), we can afford whatever we choose to pay for as long as we give it priority. We just need to prioritise society above corporations.

Started at Brexit, £ devalued, imports and exports more expensive or more complicated, rise in energy prices, rise in interest rates, wages increases, all before Labour took power, the writing was on the wall 4 years ago it was going to happen with or without labour, it's like a steam train running out of rail and now it has.
They’re a bunch of Marxist ideologues that will take us back to the 1970s. They haven’t a clue and the uk will be asking for a bailout within this term and we’ll all be paying for it.
What I don't understand is why Europe including UK just hasn't bounced back from 2008. Prior to 2008 EU had a GDP equally USA, now its like $8 trillion worse. Europe and UK are still failing from that financial crisis and I really don't know why.
@@cup1966wow Because we never fixed the system. We continued with mass migration, fractional reserve central banking, expensive wars, money offshoring, and didn't reduce the size of government expenditure.
This I agree with. Unfortunately we’re electing governments who can’t quite break this to us. The suggestion that it can be sorted quickly is naturally appealing but probably not realistic. Hope I’m wrong

@@jasondickens7868This was somewhat apparent just volunteering in a charity shop years ago. The whole place pretty much relied on one severely disabled guy.

I'm sure some people do get help, but there's most likely a lot of business school grifters living large on expense accounts and not achieving very much.
Yup so true... I used to work for a big charity and we had things like an all staff day, it costs 10s of thousands of pounds each time. Not to mention the CEO pay was crazy! £80k-250k. I honestly would not give most of them a penny. Look instead for local charities such as Hospices etc.

Thank you for always speaking the truth! The financial and political situation is deteriorating and this has an immense effect on people. It might sound bizarre but I can feel the tension in the air.
Unless you work in specific sectors of finance or tech, the economy died for you in 2008. Since then its just been limping along, forced to rent with no option of progression.
Are you in government job? Otherwise your job is in for chop. Join government job and sit back and collect the money. Work? Nah. You are guaranteed bonus too.
@@hotbeefo same, end of last year. Now looking at jobs it's all terrible money and asking me what gender I am from a drop down box of 20 options or asking me who I am sexually attracted to.
Great news having a dedicated channel just for us here in the UK. Especially with what's playing out with our inept government and our doomed economy if they continue.
Great idea, Sasha. I’m looking forward to this channel. I’m sure it will be full of great analysis, great insights, all combined with wit and humour, which is exactly what we need right now.
IR35 contractor here - I'm also going to have to up my rates to absorb the employer's NI cost and inflation this year, just to maintain the same spending power I had last year. I'm in a specialist industry and the end customer of my customer is the government. My time isn't cheap, but my direct customer is still going to want a margin on my time and the people paying for all of that will ultimately be the tax payer. Make that make sense.
I do a key job in construction which is identified as being a skill shortage. A year ago I got fed up with how much i was paying in tax. So instead I started up my own company from which I work for various employers on a contract basis. This is far more tax efficient and means I can earn more money (due to less tax) for less work. I only work around 4 days per week. The irony is that there is more than enough work for me to do and I could actually work 5 days a week however the tax penalty of increasing output (growth) is so high that it's not worth me doing it.
Of course I'll subscribe to your new channel! Always a down-to-earth take on events, and a valued insight into the hidden depths that few dare to investigate. Thanks for enlightening us all, and for sharing your views. Good luck with the new channel!

Your takes are brilliant compared to the mainstream media! My family have a few businesses up in Scotland, around 30 staff. we have never had such doubt about the future of our business. There is such little help for the smaller firms
Why don't politicians listen to the businesses? Why are they sticking their fingers in their ears and going "la la la, can't hear you, going to increase the taxes anyway"? Why are so insistent upon continuing down the wrong pathway?
Huge triple boost minimum wage is a joke! This is already making those in low level management roles consider stepping down... So it will push wages across the board 🤦♂️
I appreciate the detailed analysis... And that your not just showing a slow-motion train wreck as the video as thats the perfect metaphor for what is going on.
When a country is so broken you need a separate channel for it to explain the problems
😆
this made me chuckle
Haha I would imagine that his real thoughts would demonetise his normal channel!

Breaking news: Increasing taxes does not cause an economy to grow. In other news: Water is wet.
Didn’t you hear, this time it’ll be totally different than all the other failed times. 🤣
Breaking news: cutting taxes on billionaires does not trickle down wealth to everybody else. In other news: the Pope is Catholic.

Forgive if I'm being naive, but doesn't subcontracting end up being MORE expensive in the long run - unless it's cheap foreign labour?

Thanks again Sasha🙄.
They are expecting a Recession?
Don't you mean they are expected the ongoing Recession that began in 2008 to get even worse?
We’ve definitely been in a recession this past year
Most places outside of London never got out of recession since 2008. Large parts of Northern England and Scotland are not far off derelict wastelands.
Unless you work in specific sectors of finance or tech, the economy died for you in 2008. Since then its just been limping along, forced to rent with no option of progression.
