The National Insurance increase she has implemented will be massive in terms of inflation and likely job cuts. It currently costs an employer £25822 plus pension contributions to employ someone on 40 hours a week at minimum wage. From April that jumps 10.2% to £28,457 plus even more pension contributions. As for part time workers on 15 hours currently the employers get away with zero National Insurance,but in April the wage goes up by £600 a year and £679 National Insurance to pay,14.3% extra.

I understand the threshold for small businesses is rising from £5000 to £10,500 a year,which means they’re exempt from paying National Insurance if their total National Insurance stays below that figure.This allows them approximately 3-4 workers doing a total of around 140 hours a week between them.Possibly a few more if part timers!

I have heard of companies,especially smaller ones wanting to reduce staff due to the £2600 a year extra costs for each worker in April. It’s either 10% of the workers to go,or reduced hours from 40 to 36 in one company,to maintain the wages bill at current rates. The minimum wage rise of £1601 a year,plus the national insurance rise of £1,032 on a 40 hour week , seems to be just too much for some bosses to take. Wonder just how much unemployment will rise due to the Labour chancellor’s plan?

If yesterday’s invasion was a daily typical,and we can expect more in summer,it will amount to over 150,000 in twelve months! If they each cost us £15,000 a year,that’s £2.25 billion,ongoing year after year as it seems nothing will be done about it.

There are Beretta stick on reusable comb raisers in 4mm and 6mm thicknesses. However they are over £20 each!

Many billions available for child benefit,unlimited kids,parents can earn up to £60,000 a year each yet no £200 a year if a pension is over £11,400 a year!

Keep doors closed and regulate each room to the temperature you want, 14 degrees lowest,up to 20+ degrees centigrade. I aim for 20 degrees lounge,and bathroom,18 kitchen,17 bedrooms,16 hallway, Total annual consumption 1100kw/hour’s electricity,3,700kw/hours gas.(£803 a year)

Wouldn’t be at all surprised! They don’t want anyone owning a gun,and pricing is another way of reducing numbers,so only the affluent can continue.

There is a constant market for more power and speed,and while some can afford it manufacturers will keep producing.

All just talk! What he doesn’t say says it all,no mention of sending illegal immigrants home!

That’s the next thing to go, pension credit only! The thousands of boat people need it more they will say!

A gallon hasn’t changed though 15 gallons is £90 now,£3 15s then. More affordable now for people of all means. The biggest increase came between 1951-52 from 3s4d to 4s3d mainly due to the tax rising from 47.8% to 62.7%.

Yes but filling a tank of 10 gallons cost us £2 10s then which was more than a day’s wages.Today it’s only £60,and less than a day’s wages!

Petrol was 4s7d a gallon in 1960, perhaps you are remembering a half gallon!

Last time petrol was 2s6d was in 1949,anyone driving then will be over 92 now!
