Britain's job-rich recovery will strengthen next year, with robust growth in permanent employment paving the way for the broadest rise in real pay since before the financial crisis, according to a respected survey.
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said half of all businesses planned to step-up hiring in 2015, with growth expected in every region of the UK next year.

Also ask yourself why is the UK currently a magnet for inward investment,

Because Britain is now a tax haven due to Osborne turning a blind eye to corporate tax evasion.

The UK is not a low tax country, quite the contrary, and there is no evidence to show that higher taxes will help, the likelihood is that they will hinder and possibly result in lower overall revenues. There is no other route to cutting VAT and Payroll Taxes than first to cut the size of the State, relying on GDP growth is fanciful as we have seen. And no the quality of the GDP growth experienced by this Gov. would have been no better had the last lot continued only the volume might have been lower. You cannot buck the market there are just too many people chasing too few jobs.

Here is a radical solution, how about increasing the education budget to match the best in Europe? Scary stuff eh? And how about making work actually pay again instead of subsidizing the low paid so they in turn can hand over that money to rent seekers and other useless tossers who are the ones really sucking big nannies tit?

And of course it has still not sunk into your dense skull that the OECD now has conclusive proof that contradicts right wing retard logic that says tax increases for the better off are not harmful to the economy, especially if that money finds it's way into the pockets of the less well off who actually recycle it back into the economy instead of just speculating with it.


All you are proposing is a repetition of previous failed policies where the less well off have the rug pulled from under them and the wealthy see their assets and rights increase even further.

File under blatant biddy bollocks.

Castigate the Gov. by all means but the only stick you have is for not cutting fast enough.

Rubbish.

They could cut less and still achieve the rebalancing they need if they taxed companies and the wealthy at the same level as they tax the poor.

All The Best

Instead of the tedious sound bites why not put some meat on the bone.

Have you not noticed that the increases in CGT has resulted in reduced revenues. Put Corp taxes by all means, but recognise that this flows through to product prices. Also ask yourself why is the UK currently a magnet for inward investment, investment which does create jobs. Recognise that if you increase taxes on the wealthy as you require that you might then encourage many of these to be tax domicile elsewhere. Have you actually calculated how much more of a burden you intend to put on them or is this just another convenient sound bite? Time for some numbers don't you thin?

Well if one doubles the budget and standards decline one usually avoids making the same mistake and wonders whether or not the problem is elsewhere.

As for "making work pay" here is a scary question for you "how"?

Where is your OECD proof. Need to read it myself as I have grave doubts on your ability to understand such reports. In fact the weight of the evidence appears to be the exact opposite to that which you claim, but that is par for your course. What is it exactly that you think you understand? That is a very serious question.
