Do they honestly not realise how stupid they look latching onto a phrase which means literally nothing in UK politics?
Who is advising these clowns!
Adviser clowns and consultant clowns. Politicians bring in the clowns,Who is advising these clowns!
Trump spent a fraction of the Hillary campaign and the press did his work for him every time he said something edgy. Boris did the same, gaining loads of press inches with his BS bus claim and whatever he was saying about Kippers that time.

Bankrupted us by the end of the first month? Do you remember a Tory PM called Truss? Or senior Tories that thought self imposed sanctions were a good plan.
I'm in London today, 2 meetings with major investors looking to ramp up their investment in UK projects if Labour get in. They see better economic stabilty and better growth potential. These are not small players, one has circa £10bn to deploy and is already a household name in the UK.
Great, I hope for those who have jobs in the sector it does. At the end of the day all any investor wants is a better return, so not much skin in the game with politics.

Now after 14 years of the Uk being hollowed by Tory Assett stripping Inc, it'll take a good while longer

They had better not.I collect a DB pension in December with a large tax free element.
It won't have any tax free element if the rumours are true about Labour's plans.

But these taxes are for the good of the people, we have to help those not as fortunate as ourselves. I mean I am sure every Labour MP would willingly give up a portion of their own pensions...selfless as they are I collect a DB pension in December with a large tax free element.

I'll also crystallise my SIPP and take the tax-free element.
This assumes that Rachel doesn't make the rule change immediate.

I've done the maths, and if I have to, I will pull my pension 6 months early. It'll save me £5k, with a 9 year breakeven point.

That’s the danger - from their point of view, if they delay it, those that can will change plans accordingly and thus lose the immediate benefits. Not everybody will be in a position to change plans so I would hope they would delay it for some time in the future.I'll also crystallise my SIPP and take the tax-free element.

I still have some uncrystallised tax free funds in my SIPP which paying tax on would be annoying to lose. Would amount to about £10k of additional tax to pay over however long I have left taking my pension. If I live for another 20 years, then £500 pa which doesn’t sound so bad as the “hit” of £10k.

Yeeeessss, let it all out, the politics of envy. God we hate success in the UK. markh1973 said:
As opposed to those using the politics of fear and making up Labour's policies for them.
Try again, Labour themselves haven’t denied the tax rises and it’s what every Labour government does. By fear, if you mean fear of paying more…see what odds you get at the bookmakers ![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)

Most people who are due to take some pension savings are not wealthy. Losing the 25% tax free lump sum will be a massive kick in the b![](/inc/images/censored.gif)
