​@@grizcuz Labour could have a lot of fun by holding televised public enquiries and recommending prosecutions. With the time frame it would be a steady drip drip of Tory crimes in the media. And a few high profile cases might be coming to a conclusion just as the next election after this is due, and the Tories would be hoping for a bit of a comeback with a rebalancing of their upcoming historic loss.

Exactly. They stole the public's money now the public have to pay to replace said stolen money. But where has 14 years worth of money gone to?. It certainly wasn't spent in the country.

As mentioned on Twitter, the self employed will not pay any NI which means they pay nothing or don’t pay any qualifying contributions and still get a full pension. I don’t think they’ve thought it through.

These interviews are just like "Poking a Corpse With a Stick"🫣

So tax will be going up, but not as fast as they said before. The obsession with NI fails to benefit retired people and the lower paid. How will they pay for the NHS? They will trash it. (Just like Foghorn Farage, the Tories don't want a NHS.) Well done Krishnan.

Well said privating is the way the rich cream the money out of our pockets nothing is returned to the customer.

Tory.... lies lies and more lies

Taxes are going up and down at the same time? Amazing what the Tories can achieve!

a Tory gaslighting... what's new?

Enough is enough. Roll on the election

You're bang on here. They may be spending more on the NHS etc but its going into private hands, mostly themselves and their mates/donors. It's sickening!

Morning Max and all here😊

The liessssssss I can't

Highest tax burden since ww2, austerity for 14yrs, record number of food banks for the 6th richest nation in the world. The only group of people who has done well over the past 14yrs are Tory donors

Love the Channel 4 news crew, especially Krishnan and Matt. They even hold foreign politicians and spokespeople to account and do not allow them to spout lies, without being strongly challenged. 💕

So national insurance is now classed as tax according to the gospel of Tory.

Yes ! Krish, this is what real journalism looks like LK BBC take note .

A really excellent interpretation of the Tax Burden - take note TLDR!

What?! Not hiring cleaners trough agencies??? What will happen to Serco FFS :)

tory dwp guys are always bellends, ids, esther mcvey, mel stride

External pressures are no excuse, remember how the Tories blamed Labour for the problems caused by the credit crunch.

The chickens have come home to roost and its brilliant

Some journalists are now not afraid to call these tory lies out. Long may it continue.

how much money are they stealing that makes it worth telling lies

shame it took so long for journalists to grow a backbone, its easy to dunk on the tories when everyone(including the tories themselves) are doing it...

He talks the Poo Poo 😇

Not one word on the financial disaster impacting the EU economy which is Brexit. Scandalous

Not so much of a tax burden on Tories, their mates and benefactors who all shift their money offshore, nor on giant corporations or oil companies. Never mind, us prols will always pick up the tab!! 🤬

So if everyone furloughed had to claim universal credit, to survive, ....the country would have gone mentawl.

As for the tories saying they’re going to help the self employed, ha! They hung 3 million self employed out to dry during covid! Bet they won’t forget 😮

The only help I got during covid was the offer of one food parcel. I was one of the 3.5 million he abandoned during covid. I lost my business, my home and my mental health. We haven't forgotten what he did.

They have always stated quite clearly that the Tories are the party for business. What else is needed to understand 😂

Why TF should self-employed contractors and consultants not pay NI unlike other work? This is an obvious tax-cut for higher earners

Brilliantly explained Max, it’s a great pity that “some people” in Britain can’t understand all of this that’s happening right under our noses. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✊

I have to call this out. National insurance is not a tax, only a a fool or a liar would suggest it to be. The clue is in the name. If it was a tax, it is the only one that you get back. NI, in part, goes to pay for the NHS and pensions. Cutting this would befund both, which, in particular, the pension, the government would have to find the short fall and drive up government spending in the short term. This would force people to take out private equity, which would be more expensive. Defunding is the Tories' answer to abolition.

Just like inflation - "coming down" just means not rising as fast.

and reducing national insurance doesn't benefit the lower paid

The wealthiest in society have become exponentially wealthier. The rest of us at the bottom, well…..

We supported, we supported!! Who supported ? It’s not your effin money!!!

The Tory party also handed their mates mega millions of pounds to their mates in the PPE scandal, how many labour MP’s got involved in this? Rishi Rich handed out government contracts to his wife’s companies worth millions, how many contracts were given to members of Kier Starmers family?

BTW Max, look up Led by Donkeys, a new post, voiced by Carol Vorderman, pointing out all the donations received by the Tories from 55 Tufton Street, the Institute of Economic Affairs and other linked groups. The ones that proudly brought us Liz Truss's disaster of a budget in 2022 and left us with higher interest and mortgage rates, and Truss out of a job a few weeks later.

No 10 Drowning Street

i do like it when they get hold to account Max. It shame more reporters don't do it

Don't forget about the surging national debt! At least we're enjoying the benefits like erm, and of course um, etc.!

I love his cheeky smile cause he knows its not going down and they're refusing to admit it

I've voted Liberal Democrats in past. Voting Labour this time.

Mel Stride claimed that disabled people are getting £2000 a month PIP so he’s either unacquainted with the truth, unacquainted with his actual ministerial role or unacquainted with maths. I’m going to opt for number one considering his complete avoidance of honesty here.

I don't know why politicians cannot be honest and declare the unpalatable truth. The tax burden across the bulk of high-income countries are rising because, as the OBR points out, of ageing populations, higher stocks of debt, energy insecurity and climate change. Some tough decisions need to be taken by all countries if the burden is not to become onerous such as increasing the pension age, easing immigration, ditching fossil fuel subsidies and so on.

Absolutely

So much money was wasted, lost during the pandemic and we are now paying the price

No mention of brexit

So not going up by as much as much as we thought is the same as "going down"...pathetic BS.

Any party that gets into government will have to raise taxes. The question is, which party will use the money to fix the pot holes or to line the pockets of their party donor's

The tories wouldn't know the truth if they fell on it

Lower than forecasts but still going up !!

The journalists have at last know the tories are going out door

The good news is both BBC and Channel four can see the end of the tories so are now putting those questions that should have been asked over the past 5-years, except of course Laura Kuensberg.

Typical tory saying the tax is coming down

So painful to watch.

Aaah. The trajectory ,the prediction by the tories and the plan.😂

They lie as easily as they breathe.

A system of... system of... system of... SYSTEM OF... 😄

Why is Krishnan swaying like he is sat on a Swiss ball? 😂

Increased tax revenue, good. Increased tax burden, bad. It's just a matter of word choice.

The £900 is a lie if you earn under £26K you wont see any benefit because if the personal allowance freeze and if you earn an average wage UK wage £36k taking pa, council tax ect into account its about £350 reduction.

Cutting national insurance means cutting services and why shouldn’t self employed people pay towards the welfare state? This guy’s a liar like all Tories nowadays 3:14

Brexit is the main reason for tax burden. Economy has taken a 5% hit and all the associated tax revenue.

I started watching BBC news, then itv news then channel 4 just to see the difference in reporting and it's night and day with ch 4 doing the best job.

Honestly, politicians would have an excuse for shitting the bed. They'd make it sound like they'd done something good. This obfuscation is lies: pure and simple.

He is not talking about cutting National Insurance that equates to cutting NHS funding not income tax.

They stepped in during covid (furlough) because the governments of all comparable countries were doing it too.

Of course, taxes are coming down if one ignores and discounts all tax rises and increased tax burdens.

Elephant In Room Alert! NO party in the UK can lower taxes in the foreseeable future, for two reasons; A) The UK’s Debt/GDP ratio is more than 100%, and is due to hit 116% in 2025. B) Any borrowing will incur the ‘Moron Premium’ caused by the Truss/Kwarteng clusterfuck. The cost of SERVICING the UK’s debt is increasing, not decreasing. Enjoy your austerity and economic contraction folks!
