I think the government will introduce a number of measures to help with the increasing cost of living including tax cuts. The windfall (one time only) tax suggested will raise @ £3bn which equates to @ £120 per household, which although welcome isn't very much. Did you realise it was little ?

@stevec6427

@@jjefferyworboys8138 Why is that limited to only £3bn? Energy companies profits have increased by more than that each, not combined. The argument about them investing profits in future infrastructure has been used for decades and has been proven to be false, they just don't do it. There are other things that could be done, such as close tax loopholes, increase capital gains tax and take the upper limits off taxes (such as inheritance) which were put there to protect the rich from paying the same percentage as the average people. And another thing, the recent rise in national insurance was a deliberate attack on working people. Business owners, people who live off investments and landlords don't pay NI, only people who are employed pay NI.
