This year the talk is about a range of tax rises to areas such as wealth, pensions and savings, fuel duty and property taxes. The clear risk here is that these measures will take money out of the economy as people move money between asset classes and the property market slows. A slow property market has a wide impact on legal services, building companies, DIY, furniture, white goods etc.
We are likely to see a lack of confidence in spending, combined with further pressure on some sectors pushing up prices and unemployment adding to today's problems.
Let's hope Reeves decides to stimulate confidence and get more money moving in the economy, the back benches seem to have won the day on Welfare Reform so I doubt it.
PS Why Part Deux, because the French are in the merde and we are not far behind them.

Last month's government borrowing was the highest for many years. Public expenditure is running about 10% higher than last year. It won't take long to arrive at a financial crisis if this goes on much longer. [Post edited 21 Oct 16:05]

That black hole left by the Tories has grown massively now hardly surprising when Starmer is giving billions away, why, to make himself look good abroad more like a soft touch the wet lettuce. |  |

It’s not working. All the other world leaders seem to be openly laughing at him.
I almost feel sorry for him sometimes. |  |

Hitting the disabled again, disabled and pensioners are easy targets.
She's borrowed another 22 billion now then, where's that going I wonder. Must be a another needy country looking for a hand out, better to do that than spend it where it should be spent. |
If someone is entitled to the benefit thats fine, but its probably the most abused benifit in the UK. Just tell all manufacturers to supply the price for one model each and offer no choice. Motorbility should be a basic benifit, not son in laws driving round in luxury cars because they take their mother in law to the supermarket once a week is a piss take. |  | | |

We got a Ford Transit Independence to carry my lad around and its needed with the size of his chair and the equipment and supplies that are needed for when he goes into respite etc.
we can even get his mobile hoist in the van with him so it is a useful vehicle. | |

Exactly the kind of case that the benefit exists for. Some scumbag getting a brand new Audi because two of her kids "have ADHD" is not. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Exactly what the scheme is designed for and fully deserved. But there really are far to many abusing the system, the loopholes need to be removed. My friend works alongside Motorbility you really wouldn't believe some of the scams being used within the current rules. | | | |

I've heard about the scams and the same about blue badges. | |

Some really good points being made in this thread.
There’s a huge waiting list for neurodiverse assessments and a lot of it is being fuelled by the benefits claim culture. ADHD can be a golden key to benefits, some children need the assessments and support but others don't and some parents are seeing it as an opportunity to extract someone else’s hard earned tax in benefits.
On the other hand, I’ve recently had some professional dealings with a 3 or 4 of guys who’ve had pretty poor upbringings, struggled academically, been cut adrift from school etc, social skill deficiencies, got in a bit of bother with the law and spent time doing bird. They’ve come out and been assessed properly and they’re all well up on the spectrum, if they’d have been identified maybe their lives wouldn’t have gone the way they have. I dare say in many cases poor parenting has played a part, but domestic kids have been let down.
I’m not sure what the answer is, but things have to change. The people who need help should get it, those who are playing the system need to be sorted. TBH I’m not sure if any party has the will to address this, it’s an issue that started to get out of control under the last government and has snowballed over 4 or 5 years.
