I am the last person to back up this incompetent buffoon, but it was clear when the pandemic hit that there would be a huge bill to pay and that it was heading our way. A rise in NI isn’t the only thing we need worry about. I expect taxes will also have to go up in the not too distant future. As ever it is the man/woman on the street who has to foot the bill. We are soft targets and it is easy to part us from our cash. Meanwhile big businesses avoid taxes and continue to avoid the gaze of the Treasury. |  | | |

To be fair to the PM - the world was an entirely different place when he stated that there would be no raising of taxes or NI. Paying for care home fees etc has always been a subject that all political parties have dodged over the years because it is a massive vote loser at the next election. |  |

I think that the government will use the current circumstances to push through a number of unpopular rises which will as usual effect the poorest. Can’t blame them for doing that. You could argue that they would be crazy not to make the most of this opportunity and any opposition party would face the same economic difficulties. The problem the Tories have is that they have been hammering ordinary working people for a decade now whilst going easy on those higher up the ladder. For various reasons they have got away with it so far. At some point it must come back to bite them on the arse. | | | |

Tax the large corporations who pay none now, oh and maybe sting a few of those PPE/testing contract companies | | | |

So the fact right now that everyone can lose their home and end up leaving £23k is a disgrace. Government after government have ignored this issue and ruined tens of thousands of families lives, any way out of this is positive. | |

I wouldn't worry about social care. Staff are leaving at such a rate (and not being replaced by convenient eastern Europeans) that social care will all but cease to exist except for the wealthy in a few years.
Unless, of course, the govt plans to encourage the 3 million Hong Kongese to take up the UK residency they are entitled to. | |

I always knew you worked in a super market! Thanks for being a key worker, keeping those
shelves filled during the pandemic | |

People who have saved all their lives to own their own home, done the right thing, shouldn't have to then sell it to the government when the owner dies. A change here is well over due, promised by various other leaders who did nothing. At least Boris is doing something about it. And social care needs more money, has done for years, again Boris is trying to fix it. Tax rises are inevitable after the pandemic, despite what was said before anybody knew what was coming. Polls suggest that the majority back this move, as the NHS and social care need more funding, and people seem happy to pay a bit more in their taxes for this cause. | |

Well I would suggest actually taxing Apple Amazon and Google properly would probably cover it nicely | | | |

Where’s the 350m a week we were promised during Brexit ? Apart from that it’s about time this was sorted. If Labour had introduced this policy and tax increases then everyone would have been up in arms. I don’t mind paying a little extra but as others have said time to hit the tax avoiders big time. |  |

I agree that they should certainly tax big corporations like that more and people earning millions such as football players, could afford to pay 5 per cent couldn't they. Certain players earning 2 million a month would have to pay 100 000 at 5 per cent. That still leaves them with 1.9 million a month. | |

What you seem to ignore is that many of his own party think this is the wrong way to go about raising the money. Let’s not give him a big pat on the back for trying to do something about something that needs doing something about. It is his job. Let’s give him a pat on the back when he starts taking money off of people proportionately and fairly. As has been said, he can start with the tax avoiders. Isn’t it about time they gave something back to the people they have been fleecing for years? | | | |

Let’s not forget the black economy with people taking furlough but still working, being paid in cash to avoid tax, taking benefits while working. | | | |

Again, tax avoiders? The Revenue has employed massively more people to address this in recent years with great success. It the multi nationals like Amazon that really take the piss and it’s incredibly hard to pin them down. Governments everywhere need to co-operate to for this to happen but it’s like herding squirrels… | |

C**T Boris thieves again. Tory scum will never get my vote.
WTF are the young shouldering the cost of Covid (that’s what this is about) when they weren’t at risk from the pathetic virus. The old were at risk. They can f**king pay. C**ts.
And the fat. Popped into Fareham yesterday and couldn’t help doing a fat survey. At least 50%. And about half of them are too fat to even walk properly.
If you are young or mid-age and keep yourself healthy and in work then this country takes the f**king piss out of you. [Post edited 8 Sep 2021 7:48]

It’s not a disgrace. When you die you don’t need the home you worked for. Why should your lazy kids get it? What did they do to earn that home (asset). Inheritance tax should be minimum 50% rising to 90% as the value of the inheritance rises.
Why should some slobbo relative get a quarter or half a mil or more for nothing?
Ridiculous house price increases have massively distorted inheritance. It’s an obvious place for the government to get an easy win and it’s actually very fair. If you didn’t earn your parent’s house why should you get it ? I realise the parents paid tax as they earned it, but why should the greedy offspring get a massive windfall for nothing. | | | |

If you worked throughout the pandemic, why should the Government pay you Furlough money ? The Furlough scheme/payments were designed to help people who had no income or had been laid off as a result of the pandemic. It wasn't holiday pay. | | | |

Feel sorry for you having lazy kids and slobby relatives. So people who have paid years of mortgage and huge interest amounts over 25 years or more and made spending sacrifices cannot pass on any rewards to their struggling offspring? Whereas council house tenants who get subsidised housing can enjoy spending their cash through their lives. So why would anyone bother to work hard?
Are you a communist? | | | |

All 3 of mine work. And have massive student debt. At almost 7% interest.
I’m not a commie Bazza. But inheritance tax (in a country where house price inflation ‘earns’ people fortunes) could stomach more of the burden. No? | | | |
