An amazing debate today about what constitutes a worker.

That's pretty simple, isn't it? It's someone who works for a living, which covers everyone from CEOs to roadsweepers.

Something tells me that's not quite the definition they are going to land on though!

About time we had some budget predictions/leaks....

Any stabs on the following:

Capital Gains tax (claims have gone through the roof ahead of the budget).....how will it change, when will it come into force?

Pensions.....any changes to the tax relief and lump sum?

They are the only two areas of real interest for me.
CGT and IHT will both be areas where these idiots will look to raise tax, employers NI going up, as for pensions I can’t believe she will stop the tax free lump sum, maybe a cap of £100k which will effect everyone with a pot over £400k.

Exactly, just think some utter w@nkers voted for all this.
Labour are really going for businesses,lowering the threshold and rate of NI for employers all this on the back of utterly ridiculous workers rights, they want to grow the economy 😂

Just reading about some of the measures they appear to be poised to inflict upon businesses and, in fairness, I think Labour are going above and beyond on their election promises. Not only will "working people" not be facing a rise in National Insurance, they won't be paying any at all - once they've lost their jobs as their employers can't afford to employ them!

Apparently anyone with a buy to let or shares or savings ISN’T “classed as working people”
This would never have happened under the Tories, sometimes the grass isn’t greener.

Yeah, reading some of the definitions of "working people" going around (not necessarily official ones I might add) it seems you only qualify if you are living hand to mouth. If you've shown some fiscal responsibility and made sure you have some savings for a rainy day then sod you!

I see Labour MPs are showing their true class brawling in the street at 2am.

I am sure that some on here will try to defend his actions. Good southpaw though. And a couple of follow ups.

But he felt threatened, bless him. I'd imagine he was still feeling threatened as he continued to try and punch the guy as he was on the floor.

Still, do we think he'll get more or less time in prison than someone who typed some hurty words on Twitter?

Thats pretty much my point. I would imagine that he does no porridge however, as clink is full up again with people who posted hurty words. And not forgetting, bell ends who continue to push their luck, over and over, and get sentenced to 18 months. You would think that the bell end would have learnt his lesson by now. Or not.

Plenty of people have been killed by less, without the follow up punches.

On the face of it and the evidence we've seen so far, this is the worst behaviour I can recall by any sitting MP for many a year. A 55 year old drunk at 3am in the morning smashing the fcuk out of someone and giving it the big 'I am' eclipses anything any Tory has done in recent times. I appreciate there are difference ways to measure bad behaviour though  Grin

Yet he will still get an MP's wage, at least for now. The political system in this country is so broke yet there are no intentions from the main stream parties to fix it. Simply because it doesn't suit their agenda's.

There can be no justification for this incident, unless its an extreme one. I don't need to give examples of what that could be. So I shall reserve judgement until we know the full facts but it really doesn't look good.

Some of the things I'm seeing or hearing from a small percentage of the sitting Labour MP's really doesn't bode well. Lets see what happens tomorrow eh when we can start to properly judge them for their political actions.

I mean it's obviously if not a set-up then a pre-empted case of winding the MP up to the hilt.

Kier Starmer will just shut this down quietly and firmly.
Same as he did with the Farage Riots.
Can you imagine how the Conservatives would have dealt with it all? They would have championed the MP for standing his ground against wokism etc.
How would that week's PM have reacted?



It is great to se a Prime Minister who actually does the job of being a Prime Minister and a grown-up.

That left hook and beating on the ground is unexcusable. Still, as I said, somebody will look to condone his actions.

I'm certainly not condoning his actions, I'm merely saying what may have led to it happening.
I'm also sure that Kier Starmer will do as I said. I mean he can more than afford to with such a big majority.
