NI is a tax, I'm not sure of the logic of Governments paying out tax to OAPs and then recovering some of that tax when they have no other income! |

If Raynor is paying tax into retirement then he'll be paying his own pension as it is a pay as you go scheme.
The most ludicrous taxation will be when people who are reliant on the OAP get taxed on their OAP. They will be paying tax on their OAP to fund their OAP which is taxed to fund their OAP. |

Services such as GPs are outside the public sector, please read up on this. The problem is the £25 Billion will get eaten up running the service as it is, rather being invested in infrastructure or new ways of working. So nothing changes apart from the costs.Thats a problem because the UK is on the same path as France where tax and spend has hit the buffers because debt interest is eating into the spending of the government and is pushing up the cost of borrowing even further. Barnier is having to put together emergency taxes and spending reductions.
If we don't turn things around we will be in the same place heading for high taxes and austerity at the same time.

The budget was for NHS England, Wales and Scotland set their own budget and manage the NHS in those countries from their Parliaments.
Primary Care services such as GPs, Dentistry and Opticians etc. are run on the basis of contractors for the NHS in England. Therefore they are taxed and regulated separately from the secondary care in NHS hospitals. It's all available to read and understand. |

If you are running a health and care service you have to manage the whole system. This would mean putting good resources in primary care to keep pressure off A and E and making sure that there were enough care beds to optimise hospital bed capacity.
The budget put £25 Billion into hospitals and 600 Million into care and nothing I can see into Primary Care. The £25 Billion will end up getting swallowed by over worked hospitals because GP services and care services are already over subscribed.
You don't have to be a genius to understand that because governments have been doing the exact same thing for decades and our population is getting older and sicker. The same nonsense but different government.
I bet that nobody has done the whole system modelling for this budget. How do I know this because the Treasury has said it is now (today) talking to health about the impact on GPs. You could not make this shit up. [Post edited 1 Nov 16:40]

I' m not optimistic about this government and I did not support the last lot either, as the IFS said "playing the same silly games".
That is, of course, playing the same silly games with our lives |

What go to University, become a political researcher, then a communications officer for a political party, then becomes an office manager for a political party, then become a strategy manager for a political party, then become a Head of Communication for a political party, then get parachuted into a safe seat and then become a shadow minister and end up in the cabinet.
Try Googling a few of our MPs....they know fcuk nothing. |

The law was written as it was to allow for continuation of food production. If people are abusing that then they need to be taken to task not the whole population of farmers.
Same with private schools some are faith schools or have a send speciality and charge fees as low as £5,000 a year |

The more you borrow relative to your income, the more you get charged. So some increase expected, hopefully built into the plans. The problem is if the anticipated benefits do not materialise, the the markets will continue to creep up over the next couple of years |

We are not going to have any impact on this global issue. Our politicians are not honest with us. The argument that we must show leadership is nonsense to Russia, China, India etc |

The Government spends £1200 Billion, Government Department budgets are set with a tolerance of +/- 1 percent, that's £12 Billion. £9 Billion is lost in the rounding.
The £22 Billion was a nonsense in that context. |

I guess so, the context is the population, so the figures are expressed in per million of population. |
