The money they demand only goes, up but the services they provide and their usefulness only declines :/
Mine will spent loads on the town itself, but the surrounding areas get next to nothing. Except for one stretch on road very near me on the edge of town, which is apparently where the local MP lives. It has perfectly smooth tarmac, nice park areas, well policed...

Erm...no, no he didnt
Can you describe how much extra tax you are now paying due to the massive tax rises introduced by this Labour government?
Quite a lot of them.
Tax rise every ten days since Labour came to power
For immediate release There has been a tax rise every ten days since Labour came to power in July 2024, meaning an additional £60.3 billion in taxes on British taxpayers by the end of the decade. With the budget today (26th November) bringing in an additional 24 new taxes

The NI hike caused a lot of damage to employment. Inheritance tax hikes will screw over many people.
God knows where it's all going.

Personal tax threshold held.
Higher allowance threshold held.
EV now has to pay VED.
Increase in CGT.
Upcoming change to salary sacrifice for my pension.
That equates to numbers in the 1000s for me personally. On top of that i'll have to likely deal with the inheritance tax changes and private school VAT in the near future. We'll have to deal with the freeze to fuel duty being removed and the cut reversed when that starts.
From a business point of view we're also having to deal with the repeat minimum wage increase, increases to our NI contributions and lower thresholds, business rate increases, removal of reliefs to our CGT, increases to VED across all of our fleet.
This is looking like 100s of thousands, if not more, for the business, primarily due to the insane business rate changes and the salary/NI impacts. Our FD is still working through the scenarios but the salary and NI increases alone have already been substantial.
If you don't think other businesses are passing those increased costs on to us then you're incredibly naïve, so hitting me in the pocket there too.

Sounds like our bunch of imbeciles is inline with the majority of the country.
