Ive just donated ÂŁ94. 
Can see where Truss want the NI tax to go. Of course she doesnât mention if that will cut funding to the NHS and then adult social care, which is why it was raised in the first place.
NI is just another tax, it hasnât been ring fenced for the NHS for years.
I know, still doesnât answer the question if she will cut the service that the rise in NI was going to pay for or if she will borrow the money and fund it.
Sheâd probably say neither - with lower taxes the âgrowthâ genie will appear in a puff of smoke and grant the government all the money it could ever wish for.

So yet another interest rate hike expected. Any proof the last one did anything to inflation? Or is is just âthe ruleâ that rates have to rise regardless of the inflation being linked to war, covid and brexit and nothing to do with consumer borrowing?
Hiking interest rates to control inflation in most cases* is like yanking the handbrake hard and expecting the car to stop on a sixpence. If this is how they think theyâre going to do it then you can expect interest rates to go into double figures and still I donât think thatâs going to work.
- and in this case do they really think that inflationary pressures are coming from the idea that households have too much money rattling around in peopleâs pocketsâŚ

They donât have a clue what to do, do they? The BoE really has no influence on these prices but they wonât just admit that and do nothing. Instead theyâll make things much worse for poor people whilst (as fucking always) helping rich people (with savings and investments) to do even better.
It really needs government intervention clamping down on profiteering and speculation but we know that wonât happen.
Is it a good time to point out that privatising water, energy supplies, public transport etc & working to minimise regulation & red tape while encouraging these companies to maximise their profits & shareholder dividends might not be the best strategy to assure optimal service for end users?
That said Iâm sure the same proven methods can be further applied to healthcare such that itâll be as well provided as dentistry has become.

She will do a u turn pretty quickly.
Wonder how much sheâs claimed for her âsecondâ home?
Sheâs going to need to!
I wonder if it has crossed her mind that a single person on UC gets about ÂŁ4000 per annum which come winter looks like it wonât cover an average energy bill never mind anything else.
Tax cuts arenât going to cut it.

Oh, it soon will, believe me. I think the dirty, downstairs populus (you and me) has just about been stretched to breaking point.
