If I thought this money would go where it's needed then I wouldn't mind but as you stated, it's probably going into the pockets of donors and associates. Reality is this only hurts lower incomes and while tax is meant to be proportional, the reality is that many of those in the highest brackets are more than capable of worming their way out of paying what they should be paying. The same goes for businesses too, how many big businesses worm their way out of billions upon billions of pounds of taxes every year. It's disgusting.

Spot on. Us hoi-polloi need to come together and with one voice say NO to giving bureaucrats, cronies and paper- pushers in the NHS overly well paid jobs. We need many more medically qualified people and we need to respect and pay them a decent wage. We desperately need a human revolution.
The 33 people who did not like this are clearly completely and utterly out of touch with reality. Thank god someone (JP) actually has the balls to speak the truth!
I think they're relying on the fact most people are blissfully unaware that NI slips to about 2% as soon as you're really rich - Income tax would be a lot fairer - or, heaven forfend - they quantitatively magicked up 900 billion to pay off banking disasters and line theirs and friend's companies' pockets - why not QE up just 10% of that to solve it properly - it's not like 2.4 trillion of debt is significantly worse than 2.49 trillion! - and a lot of the money would come back in wages, taxes and savings on healthcare that's avoided with a good system, ^oo^
A top rate of tax of 40% collects more money than a top rate of tax of 90%. That may seem counterintuitive but it's true. This experiment has been run in many countries for many decades. It's possible to plot on a graph the optimum tax rate. It's called the 'Laffer Curve'.

Thats cos it wasnt 400m week funnily enough , and given that Brexit has estimated to have cost us £200bn already we will never claw that back anyway. You could have paid for the NHS and social care for the next 10 years with that Brexiteers, yes well done, well done. *slow clap*
Wasn't a promise it was an idea of what to do with it if we wanted to , however we needed to replace funding we lost post leaving, which people knew about anyway, because we aren't thick, I know people want to make out we all are 🤦♂️ The word let's gave that away Personally I voted for my own reasons the same as every other individual in this country , be that remain or leave, I just wish people respected our individual decisions 🤷♂️
I like to imagine a society in which politicians work quietly, humbly and sincerely in the background, living up their promises and responsibilities in a well-meaning manner, rather than all of us having to pay constant attention to what's happening because of the monumental fuck-ups that are continually occurring.
Those people are civil servants, those who aren't there as part of a popularity contest but because they want to be there and to make a real difference. The people who have to deal with the shit those popularity contest winners tell them to do. They're the ones doing the actual work, sadly their bosses are usually morons or evil. I mean Tory.

@@bigpants6121 and never forget them trying to deny the bus was driven around with a big fat lie slapped on the side. Or how they laughed that anyone believed the lie.
If Boris leaves, that's the point, since this government has been passing stealth manoeuvres to twist elections in their favour whilst the public have fixated on tax increases. They're forcing through legislation that requires photo ID to vote to combat a non-existent problem of voter fraud, which will inevitably affect poorer communities disproportionately, they've put in potential caps and regulations restricting the amount of money that unions can donate to campaigns which, again, affects other parties and restricts their ability to function, and put Michael "people are tired of listening to experts" Gove as head of the body that oversees electoral processes, making it a partisan organisation. Effectively, they have made it easier for them to steal elections by pricing people out of a vote by requiring government ID that most people might not have access to, restricting funding for other parties, and put one of their friends in charge of the department that records election spending and potential misconduct.
You never disappoint, you're very well informed and it comes across very well, my partner suffered has suffered tremendously in bojos government and that's why the world needs more people like you Mr walker
I sometimes think we should have criminals do community service as politicians. Maybe they'd do a better job, right? I mean how could they do any worse? Then I think maybe not, as having criminals in charge of the treasury is what got us into this mess in the first place...
I'd trust blue collar criminals more. They are just trying to make a living and would jump at the chance of an honest job. But the white collar criminals, who think "human resources" means they have to be exploited, should experience the other side of the stick.
@@balthiersgirl2658 I wasn't referring to Blair and Brown. I was referring to the past decade. As much as I dislike Blair (dropping clause 4 etc) the New Labour government reduced our debt to GDP ratio by 4% and only borrowed around £140 billion in the decade preceding the global financial crisis caused by bankers. The £350 billion bailout of the banks is added to Labour's tab but was a cross-party decision. Since then the Tories have borrowed around £1 trillion and given us a debt to GDP ratio of over 100%.

The big one for me is they seemed to have plenty of money on hand for nuclear weaponry - and really, once you have 120 warheads, what's the 121st going to do that the first 120 weren't - but when it comes to social care and the NHS, suddenly we have to go penny-pinching.
Paying taxes is for poor people. The definition of a poor person is someone who has to pay for living expenses. The definition of a rich person is someone who gets paid for being alive. An ultrarich is someone who cannot spend money for the life of them: It keeps coming back faster than they can throw it out. The rocket set are among the ultrarich.
If everyone paid 10% more taxes the economy would shrink and the chancellor would have less money to spend on Social Care. A larger slice of a much smaller pie.
Jonathan Pie always gets to the heart of the matter, with hard evidence to back him up. It certainly feels like some Tory MPs have bypassed their hearts.

Here's a novel idea. Scrap the upper earnings limit (currently £967 a week). This is the point at which your NI contributions stop. In other words, someone "earning" £10,000 a week pays the same as someone earning £967 a week. Also raise the primary threshold from £184 a week to the basic income tax threshold £12,570/52 = £242 a week (rounded up). Yes, increasing NI contributions will affect younger workers. But don't forget, todays young workers are tomorrows pensioners/care home residents. No doubt they will be happy with the funding model when they become pensioners and require the services. To make it fairer, they could introduce NI contributions on pensions above £12,570 a year (basic income tax threshold). As a pensioner (albeit not yet state pension age for a little over 2 years) I would have no objections to this. But this is dependent upon all tax avoiding loopholes for the rich and corporations being closed and the government being held accountable for spending tax payers money. No more dodgy contracts for family, friends and Party donors. Stop government corruption.
@@Bowhuntingskills Quite the opposite. It is well thought out. Just not in a way that the top end of society would like because heaven forbid they should be asked to pay their fair dues. For instance, the raising of the primary threshold will be financed by the scrapping of the upper earnings limit and abolishing the tax loopholes for the rich and corporations. If everyone paid what they were supposed to, tax and national insurance rates wouldn't need to increase. There might even be scope to reduce tax rates while at the same time properly funding health and social care especially if government was held accountable for spending tax payers money. Here are some facts for you. No moaning, no clichés. *Cost of awarding PPE contract to Pestfix (a pest control company) and recall of substandard face masks £168milloin.* *Total cost of the failed Serco test and trace £10billion of which consultant fees £56million (and counting)* *Cost of 20% stake in failing satellite company manufacturing wrong kind of satellites for GPS system £500million* *Money allocated to Dominic Cummings for Operation Moonshot £100 billion* *Latest projected cost of HS2 £80 to £88billion* *Projected cost of replacing Trident £205billion* *Cost of Brexit so far £200 billion*
I’m a social worker for adults with mental health problems. It is getting worse and worse both for the workers and most importantly for the people who need care. This government is destroying health and social care and my feeling is they are planning to privatise everything.

It's not just Tories, its the whole sorry lot of these career politicians. Everything is done to hinder and obfuscate the real issue. Printing money to suit their needs.

It come from the US Vaudeville stage of the late 1900s. European actors, especially Jewish actors brought it over from the German stage, where a common phrase for wishing somebody good luck was "Hals - und Beinbruch", roughly "broken neck and leg". It originally comes from the Jiddish "haslokhe un brokhe", which means "luck and blessing", which sounds a bit like the German malapropism.
@@tillposer Many thanks for that fascinating explanation! Now it makes a lot more sense! FWIW, Yiddish is usually spelt with a Y in English, although I know it's a corruption of the German word Jüdisch, meaning simply, 'Jewish'.

Get rid of the cap on NI payments, so the rich pay on their whole income, rather than just the first £60k or whatever it is
That should have been first.
Boris Johnson is the Fred West of world leaders and his patio is Britain...
I think they're relying on the fact most people are blissfully unaware that NI slips to about 2% as soon as you're really rich - Income tax would be a lot fairer - or, heaven forfend - they quantitatively magicked up 900 billion to pay off banking disasters and line theirs and friend's companies' pockets - why not QE up just 10% of that to solve it properly - it's not like 2.4 trillion of debt is significantly worse than 2.49 trillion! - and a lot of the money would come back in wages, taxes and savings on healthcare that's avoided with a good system, ^oo^
A top rate of tax of 40% collects more money than a top rate of tax of 90%. That may seem counterintuitive but it's true. This experiment has been run in many countries for many decades. It's possible to plot on a graph the optimum tax rate. It's called the 'Laffer Curve'.
There's a cap on NI payments? I agree, BTW. I'm in the states and I think there should be no cap on Social Security Insurance payments.

If Boris leaves, that's the point, since this government has been passing stealth manoeuvres to twist elections in their favour whilst the public have fixated on tax increases. They're forcing through legislation that requires photo ID to vote to combat a non-existent problem of voter fraud, which will inevitably affect poorer communities disproportionately, they've put in potential caps and regulations restricting the amount of money that unions can donate to campaigns which, again, affects other parties and restricts their ability to function, and put Michael "people are tired of listening to experts" Gove as head of the body that oversees electoral processes, making it a partisan organisation. Effectively, they have made it easier for them to steal elections by pricing people out of a vote by requiring government ID that most people might not have access to, restricting funding for other parties, and put one of their friends in charge of the department that records election spending and potential misconduct.

The £350 billion bailout of the banks is added to Labour's tab but was a cross-party decision. Since then the Tories have borrowed around £1 trillion and given us a debt to GDP ratio of over 100%.

The big one for me is they seemed to have plenty of money on hand for nuclear weaponry - and really, once you have 120 warheads, what's the 121st going to do that the first 120 weren't - but when it comes to social care and the NHS, suddenly we have to go penny-pinching.

Here's a novel idea. Scrap the upper earnings limit (currently £967 a week). This is the point at which your NI contributions stop. In other words, someone "earning" £10,000 a week pays the same as someone earning £967 a week. Also raise the primary threshold from £184 a week to the basic income tax threshold £12,570/52 = £242 a week (rounded up).
Yes, increasing NI contributions will affect younger workers. But don't forget, todays young workers are tomorrows pensioners/care home residents. No doubt they will be happy with the funding model when they become pensioners and require the services.
To make it fairer, they could introduce NI contributions on pensions above £12,570 a year (basic income tax threshold). As a pensioner (albeit not yet state pension age for a little over 2 years) I would have no objections to this. But this is dependent upon all tax avoiding loopholes for the rich and corporations being closed and the government being held accountable for spending tax payers money. No more dodgy contracts for family, friends and Party donors. Stop government corruption.
Boooo. No practical, thought out solutions required here. Just moaning and cliches.
@@Bowhuntingskills
Quite the opposite. It is well thought out. Just not in a way that the top end of society would like because heaven forbid they should be asked to pay their fair dues. For instance, the raising of the primary threshold will be financed by the scrapping of the upper earnings limit and abolishing the tax loopholes for the rich and corporations. If everyone paid what they were supposed to, tax and national insurance rates wouldn't need to increase. There might even be scope to reduce tax rates while at the same time properly funding health and social care especially if government was held accountable for spending tax payers money.
Here are some facts for you. No moaning, no clichés.
*Cost of awarding PPE contract to Pestfix (a pest control company) and recall of substandard face masks £168milloin.*
*Total cost of the failed Serco test and trace £10billion of which consultant fees £56million (and counting)*

*Money allocated to Dominic Cummings for Operation Moonshot £100 billion*

*Projected cost of replacing Trident £205billion*
*Cost of Brexit so far £200 billion*

European actors, especially Jewish actors brought it over from the German stage, where a common phrase for wishing somebody good luck was "Hals - und Beinbruch", roughly "broken neck and leg".
