All this Budget Speculation 23:28 - Oct 18 with 38707 views | JACKMANANDBOY | The plan seems to be to raise taxes like IHT and Capital Gains and maybe on Non-Doms etc. whilst changing the rules to borrow more. There a realistic risk here, if the tax income does not increase as planned, the very rich can work their way around these increases, and if growth is slow then the cost of borrowing increases as bond rates will go up as confidence is lost in the money markets and we will have a slow burn Liz Truss effect. With all that is happening in the World having some gold makes a lot of sense right now. |  |

All this Budget Speculation on 20:57 - Sep 3 by Dr_Winston | The left will fracture. The left always fractures. Too many opportunities to slag each other off for not being ideologically pure enough. Jezbollah have started arguing amongst themselves already. Labour, The Greens, and whoever else is on the left will just find themselves fighting over a diminishing pool of voters. Unity used to be a Tory thing, but now they're basically doing the same with many shifting to Reform and eventually whatever Rupert Lowe ends up doing with Elon Musk's money. Wales could end up largely split between Plaid and Reform, which would make things interesting if nothing else. Scotland might actually go more Lib Dem. They're fed up of Labour and the SNP. |
October 23rd is the Caerphilly by election and could be the day Labour loose power in Wales. |  | |  |
