Have I Got This Right?

[Kardashev]

Opposition to the government's mini budget seemed to start with the 45p rate being abolished, apparently worth £2bn. Now all the big ticket items have also been undone including the help with fuel bills. So now, come April we are at the mercy of the energy companies. So it seems that the rabid opposition to a largely irrelevant item has caused the less well off to be even worse off. Thank you very much opposition parties.

TORATORATORA appears not to be talking about tax on pensioners' savings going to the Government but all their savings.

CORBY,

CORBY, I appreciate there has to be a cut off point but the pension credit should make those in receipt equal to those on a full state pension without savings, not give them far more.

You really think this giant U turn can be credited to the opposition? Really?
It was the parliamentary Conservative party who got Kwarteng sacked and reined in Truss. The opposition can only bleat that the policy is wrong, the Government have a 74 seat majority, and it is sheer incompetence that turned that into a mini coup by Tory MPs.

Corby, an elderly aunt of mine is widowed and has a very small pension from her late husband’s occupation pension. With her state pension she is £2.70 a week above the limit for pension credit.
This means no council tax benefit apart from the single occupiers discount, no free tv licence, no help with glasses or dental treatment, no cold weather payments, no warm house discount and I believe she is also missing out on some of the additional monies that the government is handing out to cope with the cost of living crises.

Exactly barry as I said above work shy parasites who contribute nothing get the lot for nowt. She'd be better off not claiming her late husband's pension probably.

people blaming opposition parties are just venting their frustration that their ideas about how to run the economy were proven to be so catasteophically mistaken… they’re like communists in december 1989

So much for going it alone.wee bitty turbulence in world market .Dear old GB is floundering .Never mentioned Brexit did I

[FatticusInch]

Looking to blame the opposition parties…..because the government always listen to them, don’t they?
Try looking a bit closer to home as to what had caused the U-turns and backtracking.
Maybe the government will take responsibility for their own actions for once?
Oh, they have, Teuss said sorry. That’ll do then! Lol

You mean like JRM, or Kwarteng’s ex boss who made millions by betting against the Pound?
Plus, as you voted Truss into power you might want to take your share of the blame?
Even the Tories have seen sense and don’t want the likes of you to choose the party leader ever again! PMSL.
