Rachel Reeves’s National Insurance (NI) tax raid will destroy 100,000 jobs as companies are forced to lay off staff and freeze hiring, analysis by Deutsche Bank has found. The Telegraph has more.
Deutsche Bank warned the jobs market was already showing signs of “cracking” and warned that the Chancellor’s changes to NI would put further strain on employers.
Sanjay Raja, an economist at the bank, said he expected the hit will be twice as much as the 50,000 jobs predicted by the Office for Budget Responsibility in its forecasts published alongside the Budget.
Mr. Raja said: “Given that the increase in NI contributions is ultimately a payroll tax, firms’ payroll decisions will come under significant scrutiny going forward.
“This won’t happen all at once. More likely, we will see declines in hiring and employment growth, with some firms adjusting more immediately to the increase in tax.
“How many jobs, including future jobs, would be lost based on the above? Just a little over 100,000 jobs.”
The Chancellor said last month that from April the rate of employer NI contributions will rise from 13.8% to 15% and the wage threshold at which it kicks in will fall from £9,100 per year to £5,000. The Treasury expects the move will raise £25 billion.
Ms. Reeves claimed the changes do not break Labour’s manifesto promise to not increase NI contributions because that only referred to the share of the tax paid directly by workers.

Don’t worry, Sergeant Constable Detective Officer Peter Pisspot is already on the case.
Good to see someone taking this situation seriously.
Perhaps I should make it clear to the downtickers that I wasn’t being sniffy about it. I think all his stuff is great and treats the subject with the ridicule it deserves.
Interesting to see the pot calling the kettle black, and the stoats assaulting the weasels – or is it vice versa?
Exactly. Glass houses and all that
If Coyle gave a flying fuck for his constituents he would have spoken up a lot sooner and very much louder about far more egregious matters than a party nearly a year ago. Faux pearl-clutching, political point scoring twat.
And a total fucking mug as well.
That’s the norm in the Labour party these days.
Actually I don’t give a single shit how many parties they have had. All I want is for the truth about The Situation to come out and our liberties to be fully restored.
The Police State being investigated by the State Police. Can the Police state what the State should police?

Yes, a right Worm.
In the spirit of Christmas and good will to all men, can anyone tell me where I can get the new Pfizer Advent calendar, please? The one where some windows open onto a syringe, others onto a surgical mask or hand sanitiser, a few onto nothing at all and a massive coffin for 24th December.
Even if you could find one, I doubt you could afford it, unless you’re Jibjab, Sunak or similar.
On a similar theme, my afternoon session of old TV films keeps being interrupted by an ad for “free boosters” etc. I suppose it’s too much to hope that some of the Joe Public wake up and realise they’re not free, neither the jollop or the jabbers, and that they, their children and grandchildren, if not more, will be paying for this stuff (Pfizer and jabber about £35 per shot appx.).
I think you get a free one with your 13th booster.
Such largesse.
I’ve heard they are doing a loyalty card.
Yeah – you get a either free pack of 9 loo rolls or a six pick of baked bean cans for every 10 jabs. Should Tescos be worried?
They are sold out, but don’t worry, just like the jabs there’ll be another along in a couple of months
Just an irrelevant distraction from the Big Lie and global fascism
I don’t think the Labour party approve of people enjoying themselves.
Ah yes.. Labour.. the protector of the working classes..

True. You’ve only to look at Gulag Wales under Dungford
Can none of them see how pathetic this sort of infantile behaviour is? Who gives a fuck if they broke some pointless and petty rules which achieve nothing? The only circumstances in which it would be worth making an issue of it is as supporting evidence to demonstrate that even the Tories don’t believe in the petty rules and that the rules should never be reintroduced.
No chance of that with the Labour Party of course, who are even more devout members of the Covidian Cult than the Tory Party.
The crimes this government is guilty of and they pull them up about a Christmas party. Clown planet.
Totally agree. From the very start this government has totally failed in its duty of care to the public and, in the process, committed egregious crimes against humanity. Those crimes are what the Fat Pig Dictator and his henchmen and hencewomen should be investigated for, not Christmas parties.
I don’t understand why people aren’t really livid about their parents being murdered in the ‘care homes’ of dehydration, starvation, neglect, and a large dose of Midazolam to shut them up forever.
Police considering to how to do, err nothing.
Just a mini diversion from the reality of this evil clown world.
But, one thing’s for sure, funny it ain’t.
Thinking people are being demonised whilst this goes on.
You utter bastards behind this.
I will sit by the river and watch your corpses go by…..
Party on,Dudes.
Did any of the party games involve pigs at all?
Did any not involve pigs?
2 legs or 4?
Apparently the two-legged variety’s idea of fun – ie. celebrating their colleague’s depraved sexual proclivities by nicknaming him “the rapist” or taking selfies in front of murder victims for a laugh on WhatsApp – even goes too far for members of the Conservative Party.
Pigs in curtains, apparently
Not blankets?

Talk about rank hypocrisy, given the actions of Labour at their party conference and after-parties. They are all as bad as eachother.
If the public thought there was a time to sweep away the vast majority of the Established political parties and politicians, now is that time.

Cinema & Co in Swansea are advertising “Muppet Christmas Carol” starring Drakeford as Scrooge..
https://twitter.com/swanseaonline10/status/1467137880418131974?s=21
Loads of comments criticising the cinema on there – it’s not clear whether the 77th have been on the case or whether there really are that many brainwashed, sanctimonious Covidians – or indeed a mixture of both.
He would be equally well cast as a muppet.
I suspect the overwhelming majority of the parasites in Westminster have at some point, and probably with regularity, breached the unlawful and arbitrary ‘rules’ they themselves sanctioned. Very few if any of these odious windbags truly believe their own narrative. They have no ‘fear’ of a ‘dangerous virus’.
Makes you wonder what else is staged. Videos of politicians getting the jab for example?
I suspect the videos of the jabs are real but what’s fake is what they’re being injected with – most likely a saline solution. I first became suspicious when the video of Mrs Windsor receiving the jab was aired. Of all the people in the UK, she would be the last one they’d use as a guinea pig.

…and if not, I’m sure we’ll invent some trouble instead.
Squirrel.
I don’t object to them breaking the rules, I object to the rules
Well, you ought to object to them breaking the ‘rules,’ not because these ‘rules’ are meaningful, but because these bastards have frightened people, including many vulnerable elderly who will have trusted the parasites, into abiding by these unlawful decrees, only to then spit in their faces by breaching their own decrees.
How many people have died alone because of the fearmongering and because they were told they couldn’t leave their homes/didn’t want to mingle in hospitals or ‘bother’ the sainted NHS? How many people have died, worsened or had an illness missed because their treatments were cancelled/put back or screenings were neglected?
You ought to be downright livid.
Nah it just helps confirm my reality, that all civil servants are *****, i’m past caring what they do. I’ll live my life by my rules.
‘Nah it just helps confirm my reality…’
Your reality? Are there multiple realities?
‘…i’m past caring what they do.’
Then why do you bother visiting these forums to moan about things they do?
‘I’ll live my life by my rules.’
Great, and they’ll live their lives by their rules. And their rules rule since they have the weight of the state and associated authorities on their side.
So you believe their narrative, do you? You are wasting your time getting angry, get even!
Well done you, you’ve awoken to the fact you are their slave, what are you going to do about it. Divert your anger at me?
The answer is self-reliance, never look to government to solve your problems, & stop thinking everything in life can be risk-free or guaranteed, live for today accept tomorrow is unknown.
Yikes!
‘So you believe their narrative, do you?’
What on earth would bring you to that conclusion? Try paying attention.
‘You are wasting your time getting angry, get even!’
Are you unwell?
You’ve swerved my points interacting with your previous post. Was this purposeful or do you have a hard time keeping up?
‘Well done you, you’ve awoken to the fact you are their slave, what are you going to do about it. Divert your anger at me?’
Are you having an aneurysm? I am responding to you on your own terms by taking your self-centredness and apparent subjectivity to their logical conclusion.
You’re apparently incapable of following an argument, instead banging on about ‘anger’.
‘The answer is self-reliance, never look to government to solve your problems, & stop thinking everything in life can be risk-free or guaranteed, live for today accept tomorrow is unknown.’
You’re tilting at windmills.
That was surreal. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone miss the point so badly.
One hates to say ‘try again,’ but you seriously need to try again.
Ahh! A socialist just looking for a fight because you know you’re impotent, good luck with that & your impotence.
‘Ahh! A socialist just looking for a fight…’
Bloody hell. You really are a moron. Don’t tell me, I’m a ‘socialist’ because I criticised your self-centredness? That’s non sequitur. This type of ‘reasoning’ is breathtakingly shallow. You’re an embarrassment.
‘…because you know you’re impotent, good luck with that & your impotence.’
Projection Your Honour!
You’re addressing a mirror. You are incapable of interacting with my posts. You have a staggering inability to follow an argument. And now you’re lashing out. What a mess.
The irony of an ‘anti-socialist’ misapplying the term ‘socialist’ is not lost on me. Marvellous stuff.
Hit the nail bang on the head there – that’s the point of this story. Get the public up in arms about people breaking the rules, thereby accepting the rules.
That’s muddle-headed. One can be ‘up in arms’ not because one ‘accepts’ these rules or that these rules are meaningful, but because these bastards have put the wind up people and frightened them into abiding by the very decrees they themselves sanctioned yet do not follow.
Regarding your theory about ‘the point of this story’, not only does it neglect the fact that the people largely already accept the rules and have done for nearly two years, making such a ‘plan’ wholly unnecessary, but this ‘plan’ would be needlessly risky since it could easily backfire given the patent double standard, with people ceasing to accept the rules they had long come to accept without a whimper.
If Mike Ryan of the WHO disputes the value of giving boosters to healthy people, why the Feck is this government of ours insisting on giving them to the detriment of monitoring the health of the elderly? Follow the money would be my guess!

The same could be said for this vaccine generally, at least for the otherwise fit and healthy under 65s, maybe even older.
The problem is that we (as many other Western nations are thes days) a nation of serious unhealthy, inactive and overweight people eating poor diets, loads of sugar (even I with my very sweet tooth have cut down a LOT in recent years) and getting almost no proper exercise.
I’d put good money on those who do look after themselves well – even OAPs – rarely succumbing to the coof.
Note how the country MOST affected in Africa by COVID is South Africa – the most ‘Weternised’ by diet and which has the most issues with obesity. Despite all the other problems plaguing Africans elsewhere on that continent, very few of its citizens outside of South Africa are dying of COVID.
I’m sure there were some rules, distance where possible and all that, but I seem to remember considering having a work’s do, hiring my entire extended family for xmas day last year, or at least having a business meeting planning our new venture together around lunchtime because it was allowed?
Not that I could give a fuck about their rules, I just remember thinking up loopholes, apparently so does Johnson.
I too had a Christmas party last year. In fact I never listened to any of the bullshit this government said. I saw friends and relatives throughout.
Yup, us too, with people from abroad no less!
Mixed feelings about this…
Obviously Police shouldn’t be investigating any breaches of covid restrictions, historical or otherwise.
However, if it draws attention to the fact that not even the people inventing these rules have any interest in following them because they are such a load of bollocks then I’m all for it!
I don’t think it’s a Lab v Con thing as most of the Tories officially support this nonsense anyway. Hopefully it will peak a few more people into realising the Emperor has no clothes on…
The emperor is currently both trouserless and displaying tourets tendencies: shouting that he does. Most covidians politely avert their eyes from his majesty’s appearance while taking his words as absolute.
Behave, you think the police are going to do anything?
It’s just more distraction & theatre for public consumption. There was an article in DM earlier today with Dick saying the police would only investigate if there was a complaint made, voilà! Invitation accepted.
The ones who disturb me the most are the public baying for rule breakers’ blood. These are bitter and twisted true believers if that’s not an oxymoron. As long as they predominate this nonsense will thrive.
There’s a very good reason why so many of us now subscribe to the notion of LibLabCon – with all the established political parties (I include the SNP, all those from Wales and NI and now the Greens, who are just the same as the hard Left of Labour pretending to be environmentalists) you essntially end up at a very similar result.
A near neighbour mine said as much recently, after our local District Council changed hands from solid Tory to Lib/Lab pact in 2019 after the shambles of the May era. The only difference in quality of service is that we now get woke tweets and awareness months for the alphabet community. Otherwise you’d never know.
Anti-lockdown protestors hit the streets in York, Austria and the Netherlands as Europe faces up to new Covid strain
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10274825/Anti-lockdown-protestors-hit-streets-York-Austria-Netherlands.html
As the utter absurdity of covidianism becomes more and more destabilising, when will all this finally fall to pieces?
Hopefully sooner rather than later. The key point of attack has to be to expose more forcefully the reported side effects of the ‘vaccines’ and the lunacy of ‘jabbing’ children. That is the elephant in the room and arguably the issues that governments are most sensitive to criticism about.
Not just the lunacy of injecting children (the latter don’t need it, even if it worked), but also the wicked selfishness of the adults doing the injecting. Those adults are injecting children with a drug the children don’t need because the adults think that they themselves will thereby be protected. Using children as human shields in other words. Cowardly and wicked.

He’s banned from my party in that case then
Just thinking about this, but aren’t the Covid ‘offences’ all Summary-only? If that’s the case then charges have to be laid within six months of the offence taking place, so if it was nearly a year ago it’s time-barred and would therefore be thrown out of court (if anyone was stupid enough to take it that far).
That letter is all over the place as regards the crucial distinction between law and guidance too – it talks about people being fined for breaking the guidance. This is nonsense – they could only be fined for breaking the law, not the guidance.
Anyone else see anything ominous about this?
I’m probably not the best person to ask, I find everything the government does sinister.
But, how can they fine you if your cat is not chipped?
I like how your brain works, I missed that 1!
Yes. It’s not as though a cat is going to give the game away if it’s somehow reunited with its owner, the way a dog would.

Neil Oliver is on good form tonight.
Although he has got a smooth brain on there now saying if I wear a mask it stops me spreading it to you, but if you wear one it doesn’t really stop you catching it?! Where do they find these fucking idiots..?!
He is, but that ‘doctor’ in Saudi, was giving crazy figures, they just say anything without any proof at all.
Luckily (for my blood pressure) I am a little behind and was able to skip past the remainder of his gibberish.
Bit off-topic, but had my mind well and truly blown today: Masked young couple walking along – no one anywhere near them. They then stopped, removed their masks, and walked straight into a packed cafe!
Of course, I am aware of this nonsense – but to actually witness this in person … it really knocked me sideways. The old noggin very nearly short-circuited!
If they put it back on again once outside then they are clearly mad, otherwise I expect they saw that it was ok not to wear one upon seeing others inside? More reason to hold the line.
They walk in the open air, down a hill to our village with no one whatsoever near them, yet suitably fearful to be wearing masks anyway. But then they take their masks off as they enter a packed cafe?
Gobsmacked!
It’s a nonsensical cult.
The PM himself is a nonsensical cult (at least I think that’s what I heard)
There are moments some days I think how easy it would be just to accept the official narrative & go along with it all, and it does offer comfort, life seems blissfully easy.
I then shake out of it & say to myself what the fuck were you thinking, but I’m a natural cynic, anti-authority, contrarian, it’s in my DNA to question everything & take my own path.
But people have been manipulated by the best, they flock together for comfort & believe what they’re told by the authorities & to be fair its been professional grade psyop the CIA would be proud of.
I think people seem to be keeping relatively quiet and just waiting to see, but judging from comments in many outlets, there is a lot of anger simmering..
When ever I get into the controversial subject of covid with my wife, she always says I’m just keeping my head down, & I can’t fault her because I’ve always said to her don’t draw attention to yourself, don’t volunteer for anything.
But then what happens when the time comes, you’re unable to lift your head from under the tyrannical boot?
They thought the poll tax was a good idea until …….
The 80’s was a long time ago, people are more interested in reality TV than reality now. Anyway, It’ll soon be illegal to protest, let alone riot.
If this is what it looks like, you have to figure all the past events were trial runs & they’ve planned mitigation for any future unrest, eg. civil contingencies act.
I’m hugely pessimistic of the future. Hope is just delayed disappointment. It looks to me like a dying civilisation, its not going to end well.
And so easy to do, with other peoples’ money! Treble Christmas bonuses all round for the members of the SAGE committee!
You are not mad, they are. As I posted yesterday, my wife and I were having a drink in our local and we had a good viewing point of the car park, 20 yards max walk to the pub entrance. At least 90% of the punters dutifully put a mask on when exiting their car for the 20 yard walk to the pub and then took them off when they entered. Unbelievable but true, fear porn obviously works!
When they are driving, air enters their cars, right? Through the vents, blower… the same air can be found inside their homes, and in the pub/restaurant.
I love how Coyle addresses his letter to “Dear Cressida”. Not for him a long wait in a shitty cop shop before being “served” by an arrogant, gormless plod.
Interesting to see that the right to protest is about to end, if they get their way. Who would have thought this would have happened on Liberal Johnson’s watch
There are few true liberals left in parliament. Those few are described by the Guardian as “libertarian crazies”.

RFK, Jr transcript from Milan speech:
No government in the history of mankind has ever relinquished power voluntarily. The power that they have taken away from us over the past 20 months they will never give back. They have taken away our freedom of speech, they have closed the churches, they have taken away jury trials against companies, no matter how negligent they, no matter how reckless they are, no matter how grievous your injury, you cannot sue that company..….
I think a strong case can be made that nation-states no longer exist (or nation-states only exist as an official narrative to keep the peasants in line in each country). Under global monopoly capitalism there are just two classes — the elites and everyone else (us). Elites around the world have more in common with each other than they do with the average citizens in their country of birth (billionaires are billionaires — it does not matter whether they made their money from state monopolies in China or illegal monopolies in the U.S.). And the bioweapons apparently are targeting us. The only threat to the billionaires is if billions of people rise up and seize their assets. But the peasants cannot rebel if they are chronically ill and dependent on the cartel for survival.
It all clicked when reading the transcript of RFK Jr.’s recent speech in Milan, Italy. He shines a light on the role of the CIA in pandemic planning over the last 20 years. He explains that the CIA does not do public health, they overthrow governments, and the government they are overthrowing right now is We the People.
I’m sorry, I just don’t care. First because this is 11 months in the rear. Second, what punishment would be useful (sending the offenders to work in Dutch Covid wards?). And third, we all know that the folks in Westminster don’t live as the legislate, any of the parties. And given that Labour were it in power would have us masked and passport-controlled like all of Europe, I’ll take my duplicity as is thank you.
Why would a leaving do be illegal?
There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive.

This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects. Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

Yes by all means let’s waste even more money on something that happened a year ago. Is there nothing more recent this clown has done to nail the reckless bastard. Dig deeper there must be something.
Covid regs are strictly for the plebs and do not apply to the government or their friends and families as well as party donors.
Don’t think it was a law to be broken, hence why the Met wouldn’t investigate it even if it was yesterday.
