At 12:30 pm on Wednesday 26th November, Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves (Honorary Graduate of the Dianne Abbott Mathematics Academy) will deliver her Budget speech in the UK House of Parliament.

Put simply, it is going to be an apocalyptic mess and the country will be suffering even more hardships as a result.

Join the Brits as we debate, discuss and facepalm at what her plans will mean for us - from instant tax rises to forthcoming plans such as the Sugar Tax (2028).
 
It will be fine and it won't be as bad as some in the media are making out.
This is a classic rug pull psy-op to make you believe the worst, then when it isn't as bad as people expect, Labour will say "see, we're not that bad"
 
Dunno why they even bother announcing it on "Budget Day" any more.
They leak all the details for weeks beforehand and wait to see how big a negative response they get to it.

That's the problem with UK politicians these days, they have no class.

Worse then that. They are going to appeal to American politicians, bankers and financiers to save their asses while totally trying to claim London is in perfect control of the failed system it has created under Tony Blairs August managerial reforms.

The next year is going to be a fascinating exercise in America imposing "muh heritage" on the UK in exchange for IMF bail outs. Fortunate for Herr Starmer, he can blame the perfidous Americans for making, nay, FORCIJNG him to send the boats back to France

Which we will btw. The only way England gets an IMF bailout is if the Americans are confident the ENGLISH get the IMF bailout. We are insufferable parochial colonists at heart sadly.

Hard to tell if you mean the Americans or the English here, to be truthful.
Like father, like son, I suppose.
Adorable, in it's own way

Ironically the fate of the English people has become bound with the fate of the American people. The Americans and the English are after all subject to the same attack on their existence by the same racial enemies and the same ideological enemies.

America is in many ways Rohan, and England is Gondor. I don't think Tolkien saw things this way, but the parallel is unavoidable. Rohan has awoken from a nightmare. The westfold has fallen and the forces aligned with the worm tongue advance unopposed.

All while gondor falls to the greater evil. America has to face its petty grievances yes. But the true fate of the American nation will not be decided in America.

It will be decided in England.

Gay parallel, but I partially agree, but we're much further along than you. England is America's warning, we're too far gone and too soft to do anything about it. America's about face will probably save it. England is already beyond fucked, we're just waiting for the starting pistol.

I've taken a shit ton of flack for pointing this out. If the King of England calls his people to defend the realm....the Americans will come. The American people will go to war for the Island of Britannia. If we are called.

King of England will never call for it, he's compromised by the pedo elite, may not have been associated with epstein, but was associated with savile.

It's not just England. The truth is, it'll take the home countries of the British Isles, including the Republic of Ireland, as they're in as much shit as us, so Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland too, pulling together as one to fully oust the invaders at this point.
This includes the politicians and corrupt police, and upper wealthy classes who supported it.
Possibly even up to the Royals, to be honest, they've not acted in the best interests of their country. It would take a show of solidarity from William if it kicked off, tbh.
It's all hypothetical, anyway.
The main point is, all the natives of the British Isles need to recognise they have more in common with each other than the immigrants, and it's in everyone's best interests to come together and help each other rid the Isles off the invasive pestilence that's in danger of taking over.
It would be immensely powerful.

I think the ignoring of purdah around the budget shows how Westminster (including the civil service) think the public are idiots. No longer is it the case that Chancellors announce the budget on the day and have to justify and argue for it in totality all at once, putting together a cogent argument to convince the public that x, y, or z, are best for the country. Instead its just leaking stuff out bit by bit and changing it bit by bit if the wind isn't favourable. It used to be that people would resign if there were leaks like we've seen for the past couple of weeks. Now nobody cares, and ultimately no matter what stupid decisions are made in the budget, because enough leaks have happened it will be met with "oh well, it's only a nugget of shit in my sandwich, rather than being a full shit sandwich like we expected. Bon appetit, I suppose."
 
Happening might be excessive but it's going to be a chuckle. Here's what we have all but confirmed so far;

Change to sugar tax - milkshakes most affected though not as loudly mentioned is that lattes might be too
Two child benefit being adjusted - likely to be stalled out till close to the next election
ISA yearly contribution limits reducing - fuck you for saving responsibly
Increased minimum wages for under 21s - business response will be to hire more illegals
The middle class getting sodomised to satisfy the spiteful mutants

Here's what seems to be being loudly speculated;

Increased taxes on pricy homes - much like "working class" this will be redefined a thousand times
Freeze on income tax thresholds
Increased taxes on electric cars - which will be expanded to everyone
Cap on how much you can put into your pension tax free - again, how dare you plan for the future
Landlords being forced to pay NI on their rent proceeds - as ever this will mostly affect private small scale landlords forcing them to sell up and reducing competition allowing rent hikes
Rachel's going to cry again

I did read a few years ago that the most unpopular king in English history (King John) taxed the population 50%.

We are currently taxed 30% on what we earn and 20% on VAT when we spend whats left.
The cost of fuel is mostly taxation and if we manage to save some money, that gets taxed again as well.

We'd be better off with King John than any group of self aggrandising politicians.
 
Nothingburger. We've had worse budgets.

and if you gave me the choice of sending back the boats, or removing american influence and companies from our shores, I would marry a paki. Fuck the americans and their blm,woke, trooning, hollywood pedophiles. fuck them in their stupid arses.

Well you are in luck because the house of Saud and the Qataris are horny as all hell to finally make Air Strip One theirs.
 
The Office of Budget Responsibility published its growth forecast early. This includes pretty much the entire budget.

BBC (and everyone else) is digging through it:

Ed Milliband must be seething.

EDIT: Inflation post-budget expected to go up to 3.5% this year and 2.5% next year, both higher than previously expected. Pension contributions over 2k a year will be taxed.

e4: Summary from BBC live feed

Although Rachel Reeves is yet to stand up to deliver her Budget, we seemingly know most of what's in it, thanks to a report from the Office for Budget Responsibility released early in error.

We're still going through it, but here are some main lines:
  • The freeze in income tax thresholds "were extended for another three years until April 2031 in this Budget", the report says. That's a year longer than was expected. It means more people will pay higher rates of income tax as their pay rises
  • There will be a new mileage tax for electric vehicles from April 2028. "In 2028-29, the charge will equal £0.03 per mile for battery electric cars and £0.015 per mile for plug-in hybrid cars, with the rate per mile increasing annually with CPI," the report says
  • The two-child benefit cap "within universal credit" is being lifted from April 2026. "Its removal costs £2.3 billion in 2026- 27 and £3.0 billion in 2029-30," the OBR says
  • "Salary sacrifice" pension contributions above £2,000 will face National Insurance from April 2029. "This means that salary-sacrificed pension contributions above £2,000 will be treated as ordinary employee pension contributions in the tax system," the report says
  • There will be a new tax on houses worth more than £2m. The report calls it a "a high value council tax surcharge on properties worth over £2 million, raising £0.4 billion"
  • Lower growth is forecast. "Real GDP is forecast to grow by 1.5 per cent on average over the forecast, 0.3 percentage points slower than we projected in March, due to lower underlying productivity growth," it says
