Been revealed today the Southport incident is going to be treated as a terror offence and that he had been investing Ricin to use. The BBC report states the police are not treating it as a terror offence as there is no motive? What report are you referencing? Politics UK. May not be the most reliable source but it said he was following the teachings of Al Qaeda. |

I think from reading a few reports now, he has been charged with a terror offence, but not in direct connection with the Stockport attack ... Confused 😕🤔 |

Confused 😕🤔 I can’t see Labour last a full 5 years in power. They have shown their true colours early on. It feels like they timed this story being released right close to the budget in the hope it wouldn’t get much coverage. Today’s budget is going to be the big test. We can’t keep listening to the excuses of the previous government and 14 years of mismanagement. The country feels a mess with Conservative and Labour as bad as each other. The worse thing is there is no other credible party to vote for. |

To get thrown out early, you will need them to have below 325 seats. They're clear of that by well over 100 seats so they'll quite possibly last 5 years very comfortably. |

The party will but I'm not sure those at the top will. The real acid test is always when By elections start happening. |

The worse thing is there is no other credible party to vote for. It's a very strange political landscape at the moment. Labour may have a stonking majority in the House of Commons, but this is not reflected in their share of the vote and many of those seats are on very slender majorities. The Conservatives are unable to function as an effective opposition due to their internal strife and external pressure from Reform UK and the loudest critical voices at the moment appear to come from the right-wing media. The Lib Dems, Greens and Independents seem to have gone very quiet since Parliament reconvened. |

I remember the Blair government would despite still being far more popular than the IDS or Howard led Tories at the time |

It is a pity that in the budget NI for employers was raised but not fuel duty.
This is going to make recruitment more expensive, and in some cases restrict pay rises or level of recruitment by small businesses in particular.
Not raising fuel duty will not help the environment, nor encourage extra use of public transport.

Not raising fuel duty will not help the environment, nor encourage extra use of public transport. We already have the highest fuel duty in Europe, think that is protecting the environment enough. We have people on here saying we need to be more competitive, then others saying put measures in to make us less competitive. |

If you raise the fuel duty you cause issues for working people, I think people driving around in cars now is the least of our worries. The NI increase is probably the best way of increasing taxes to pay for the raised costs of living. |

That really depends on what the effects are of the NI tax on employers and whether costs get passed down to employees and if it ends up with firms letting people go as a result. |

The cost won’t necessarily be passed down to employees but certainly prices will rise at the tills and employers will certainly be more cautious about hires. I think we will see a lot of attrition in certain sectors like hospitality. Don’t worry though they can all just get jobs at the NHS which now has a budget so bloated it resembles a small countries GDP. |

There are a heck of alot of businesses out there which aren't making huge profits to be able to pay these increases. |
