End of fuel allowance,fuel cap to be increased ,tax on pensions. rumours ending 25% tax free pensions and increasing tax on savings.This is a MASSIVE ATTACK on the elderly disgraceful labour need the boot. And they have only been in a month.
NHS? Roads? Schools? Social,care? I think her cut off point is misguided because, of course, many people rely on that payment - but there are thousands who really don’t need it. It’s just extra spending money for them, and so much better put back into the wider society.
The problem with social care is that it has been outsourced to private companies. Private companies are designed to make a profit, it is what they're for, hence by default a chunk of monies paid won't go to delivering care but to delivering profit. How anyone can think profit should be a driver for delivering care of a highly vulnerable group is beyond my comprehension. It would make far more sense to go back to the drawing board and replace NI with a hypothecated tax for health and social care aligned with a root and branch reform of the NHS and social care services, bringing them both under one roof,. It shouldn't be rocket science to have a coherent organisation and supporting processes: acute care (a&e etc), chronic care (ongoing health issues), convalescent care (post acute care interventions) and social care (geriatric and mental health primarily).
I'm assuming your House, Car, Holiday and Smart phone are all provided by private enterprise, have any problems with those or is it just all the state provided services? can you see a pattern forming? maybe you'd like your haircut provided by the state, how about your clothing? no? but definitely your heart surgery

I. I've been forced to claim Carers Allowance to care for my 88yr old disabled mother. It is £2.34/hr for 35 hrs a week. If I get a job, I can't earn more than £150. Benefits system is broken. I worked for 39 years straight for the same company. For six months after I was made redundent I couldn't claim any benefits because of my redundancy pay. And I couldn't commit to a Full-Time job because of my caring responsibliity.
Same here. I had to give up my job to care for my adult child for 2 years who was in a horrendous car accident. Then my dad became ill with COPD and then he died.i received no income at all for 10 years and lived off my 40 years worth of savings. Couldnt get any benefit as i couldny go out to work and do the care as well and I had savings. I was fortunate that the mortgage had been paid off by then. then it was my mothers serious illnesses and two operations that kept me away from paid work. By now i was too old to get a decent job anyway. Then the tory government moved my state pension age back by 18 months and then again for another 2 years. Pension i was banking on. Meanwhile the condition of my house seriously deterioratied because i just didnt have any spare cash to keep it in goòd condition. So savings depleted living in a rotting mouldy house losing value year on year. I risked my and my mothers life by delivering essential food during lockdown for 2 hours each night. The only job i could get. Tories capped the tax free allowance on earnings for 5 years. No doubt that will be lowered now. Now labour are scrapping the winter fuel allowance. Is it worth staying alive after you can no longer work. Are we looking at scrappage of the state pension as well and working till you drop dead?

She has committed herself to the triple lock - and I do believe that the wealthiest (and I don’t mean those that just scrape through her current cut off point) should give up their winter payment.
So care home owners can profit even more from people. Disgusting. People are basically being held hostage by rich companies feeding off people's misery and meanwhile, overburdened council's will cut care in the community which is pretty sketchy and poor now, and no, I never voted for labour.
My wife once was sent a letter asking if she wanted to invest money by buying a room in a care home! We ripped this letter up. Somebody is profiteering from the vulnerable.
@Dicky104 those profiting from care homes are the hedge funds. One company went bust who had 140 care homes, only 26 were profitable but the hedge funds still profits from these closures

Labour has had nearly four weeks in office and what is their record so far? 1. They're letting prisoners out earlier despite crime going out of control. 2. They've done nothing as yet to deport foreign criminals such as the Nigerian responsible for knifing an army officer recently or the Pakistanis attacking airport security in Manchester. 3. They've cancelled the only scheme so far to be able to remove illegal immigrants and have given an amnesty to huge numbers. [What has happened to the new law criminalising illegal immigrants?] 4. They've started a 'Green' company to encourage investment in 'Green Energy' that no-one will invest in. 5. They've made an agreement to pay above inflation rises to the salaries of public sector workers (average salary £45,000 per year) while reducing pensioners' income by £300 per year when the state pension is only £11,502.40 per year. 6. They've scrapped the social care cap.
They only got 34% of the vote and I imagine their popularity will simply plunge in the next few months. Interesting to see what happens when they poll less than 20% yet have a big majority, the country is overrun with illegal immigrants and the economy is tanking. I predict a lot of trouble.
Is there a cap on care home costs? There is currently no cap on care home fees in the UK. The UK government has announced that from October 2025 (this was originally due to come into effect in 2023 but has been delayed), If you remeber this was going to be paid for with a 2% increase in NI from 10-12% Sunak blew the money on a cut to 6%

Ukraine is benefiting from arms supplied by the uk, made in the uk by people who pay tax on their earnings. To say the uk is sending billions to ukraine is totally misleading and nowhere near the truth and the whole truth.

The UK is one of the leading donors to Ukraine, alongside the US and Germany. To date, the UK has pledged £12.5 billion in support to Ukraine since February 2022, of which £7.6 billion is for military assistance. This includes £3 billion for military assistance in 2024/25.22 Jul 2024

That 86k cap was a con - only benefitting the richest. I work in social care finance and very few reach that limit. The only ones who can afford to keep their homes are those who have more money tucked away - everyone else will have to sell their property to afford up to £86k anyway. It was always smoke and mirrors and not benefitting those most in need - just the richest of property owners
It will mean most will wish to die rather than waste their life's work saved up from being passed on to their family, the point of living at all! Family.
The money doesn't need to found up front, so families who are clever can retain assets and use them to provide an income rather than see them sold. I'm more concerned about any changes to IHT.
My uncle was still working into his 70s when he developed dementia and had to go into a nursing home. By the time he died 6 and a bit years later the fees were almost 6k a month. His life savings, his house (which my grandparents had bought in 1930 and he had lived in his entire life until had to go into the home), pretty much everything he owned went on paying for his care. His big mistake was to work and save, he would have better off to have just spent every penny rather than living relatively frugally. The current system is deeply unfair and unjust and choosing to axe the cap before it comes into force while continuing to waste 11bn of taxpayers money on overseas climate change projects just so politicians can swan around to global climate change conferences on private jets is obscene

Sorry, you've got what you voted for. How naive were people believing that Labour wouldn't start taxing anything that moves. They lied over 50 times saying they wouldn't increase taxes. But hang on, we'll give the doctors 22% pay rise and public sector 5.5% but that's OK.. Thank you Labour voters..
There is no point blaiming this on doctors; teachers; nurses and military staff, these professionals are well due the pay rise money they will receive. Especially when the pay is not great to start off with and doctors nurses and teachers, are also saddled with university depts to train to work within these public sector jobs. Think you need to look at other factors such as billions in debt left by Tories; billions In funding to Africa; funding for Ukraine war; as well as immigration hotel/processing costs. Junior doctors; teachers and nurses work extremely hard and the majority also work overtime with no extra pay, so a bit of a cop out to target them!
@@user-tk2sc3rz9t oh, so it's only the public sector that have to pay off university fees?

I want to see exactly what these £1bn savings from social care and winter payments are going to be spent on.
NHS? Roads? Schools? Social,care? I think her cut off point is misguided because, of course, many people rely on that payment - but there are thousands who really don’t need it. It’s just extra spending money for them, and so much better put back into the wider society.
Probably Ukraine.
The problem with social care is that it has been outsourced to private companies. Private companies are designed to make a profit, it is what they're for, hence by default a chunk of monies paid won't go to delivering care but to delivering profit. How anyone can think profit should be a driver for delivering care of a highly vulnerable group is beyond my comprehension. It would make far more sense to go back to the drawing board and replace NI with a hypothecated tax for health and social care aligned with a root and branch reform of the NHS and social care services, bringing them both under one roof,. It shouldn't be rocket science to have a coherent organisation and supporting processes: acute care (a&e etc), chronic care (ongoing health issues), convalescent care (post acute care interventions) and social care (geriatric and mental health primarily).
I'm assuming your House, Car, Holiday and Smart phone are all provided by private enterprise, have any problems with those or is it just all the state provided services? can you see a pattern forming? maybe you'd like your haircut provided by the state, how about your clothing? no? but definitely your heart surgery

fingers crossed
I.
I've been forced to claim Carers Allowance to care for my 88yr old disabled mother. It is £2.34/hr for 35 hrs a week. If I get a job, I can't earn more than £150.
Benefits system is broken.
I worked for 39 years straight for the same company. For six months after I was made redundent I couldn't claim any benefits because of my redundancy pay.
And I couldn't commit to a Full-Time job because of my caring responsibliity.
Same here. I had to give up my job to care for my adult child for 2 years who was in a horrendous car accident. Then my dad became ill with COPD and then he died.i received no income at all for 10 years and lived off my 40 years worth of savings. Couldnt get any benefit as i couldny go out to work and do the care as well and I had savings. I was fortunate that the mortgage had been paid off by then. then it was my mothers serious illnesses and two operations that kept me away from paid work. By now i was too old to get a decent job anyway. Then the tory government moved my state pension age back by 18 months and then again for another 2 years. Pension i was banking on. Meanwhile the condition of my house seriously deterioratied because i just didnt have any spare cash to keep it in goòd condition. So savings depleted living in a rotting mouldy house losing value year on year. I risked my and my mothers life by delivering essential food during lockdown for 2 hours each night. The only job i could get. Tories capped the tax free allowance on earnings for 5 years. No doubt that will be lowered now. Now labour are scrapping the winter fuel allowance. Is it worth staying alive after you can no longer work. Are we looking at scrappage of the state pension as well and working till you drop dead?

1. They're letting prisoners out earlier despite crime going out of control.
2. They've done nothing as yet to deport foreign criminals such as the Nigerian responsible for knifing an army officer recently or the Pakistanis attacking airport security in Manchester.
3. They've cancelled the only scheme so far to be able to remove illegal immigrants and have given an amnesty to huge numbers. [What has happened to the new law criminalising illegal immigrants?]
4. They've started a 'Green' company to encourage investment in 'Green Energy' that no-one will invest in.
5. They've made an agreement to pay above inflation rises to the salaries of public sector workers (average salary £45,000 per year) while reducing pensioners' income by £300 per year when the state pension is only £11,502.40 per year.
6. They've scrapped the social care cap.

The Tories should be held to account for embezzling billions during the pandemic and under the pretext of Ukraine war
Ukraine is benefiting from arms supplied by the uk, made in the uk by people who pay tax on their earnings. To say the uk is sending billions to ukraine is totally misleading and nowhere near the truth and the whole truth.
Bearing in mind that the absolute first responsibility of government is defence of the realm then for those who are far sighted enough, and with knowledge of history even with living memory, that defence here involves russia being stopped in its takeover of increasing amounts of other countries in europe.
Russia just doesn't want Nato on its borders not take over, also would the UK like Russia on its borders
The UK is one of the leading donors to Ukraine, alongside the US and Germany. To date, the UK has pledged £12.5 billion in support to Ukraine since February 2022, of which £7.6 billion is for military assistance. This includes £3 billion for military assistance in 2024/25.22 Jul 2024

That 86k cap was a con - only benefitting the richest. I work in social care finance and very few reach that limit. The only ones who can afford to keep their homes are those who have more money tucked away - everyone else will have to sell their property to afford up to £86k anyway. It was always smoke and mirrors and not benefitting those most in need - just the richest of property owners
It will mean most will wish to die rather than waste their life's work saved up from being passed on to their family, the point of living at all! Family.
No it's not
The money doesn't need to found up front, so families who are clever can retain assets and use them to provide an income rather than see them sold. I'm more concerned about any changes to IHT.
It's why most old people won't contact social services. It's evil.
My uncle was still working into his 70s when he developed dementia and had to go into a nursing home. By the time he died 6 and a bit years later the fees were almost 6k a month. His life savings, his house (which my grandparents had bought in 1930 and he had lived in his entire life until had to go into the home), pretty much everything he owned went on paying for his care. His big mistake was to work and save, he would have better off to have just spent every penny rather than living relatively frugally. The current system is deeply unfair and unjust and choosing to axe the cap before it comes into force while continuing to waste 11bn of taxpayers money on overseas climate change projects just so politicians can swan around to global climate change conferences on private jets is obscene

There is no point blaiming this on doctors; teachers; nurses and military staff, these professionals are well due the pay rise money they will receive. Especially when the pay is not great to start off with and doctors nurses and teachers, are also saddled with university depts to train to work within these public sector jobs. Think you need to look at other factors such as billions in debt left by Tories; billions In funding to Africa; funding for Ukraine war; as well as immigration hotel/processing costs. Junior doctors; teachers and nurses work extremely hard and the majority also work overtime with no extra pay, so a bit of a cop out to target them!
@@user-tk2sc3rz9t oh, so it's only the public sector that have to pay off university fees?
