It's sickening I hate all labour voters. I've worked my ass off to get what I've got and to save for private retirement pension in savings investments.

Totally agreed.
Agree

We get the party we deserve....so if you vote Reform you will get Labour.
@@malcolmjohn2875Labour have won anyway. A vote for Reform is a vote for what we expect to have so if enough people vote for them it will change things for the next election after this one. Vote Reform it is not a wasted vote it is an essential vote.

We know the answer to that, the ones that don't pay in or are a drain on the system.

Labour has destroyed the NHS, the have destroyed our economy numerous times, last time even Banks needed tax payers cash.
It just pains me that there are idiots that still fall for their rubbish that they come out with every time and the poor idiots have no idea of the poor track record of Labour as if current Labour cities and towns + Wales has shown us.

Steve, I don't like the Tories either. But if you vote reform you're just splitting the anti-labour vote without getting many seats. This guarantees Labour win.

Vote Reform meaning handling over the power to labour
@@niravsoni1130 And that's all you tories can offer
You believe these lies?
Tories have set us back fifty years. Labour will send us back to the Stone Age
sadly the "tories" have laid the way for political government to continue with the plundering of working people's savings
After being encouraged to open a private pension plan in the 70s and saving for years, Gordon Brown raided mine (and many others), savings, and stealing 16 billion. They will never change.
Corruption ain't the word...plain theft by both labour and tories
And yet people will vote anyway. This is something that would happen regardless of who gets in.
@@The_Phoenix_Saga. Fair comment. At least you’re saying they would all do it.

Labour and Starmer are dispixlcable. This is what happens, you are penalised for having worked hard and saved money.
Socialists don't like people having money, always been the same. Personally, tax should be banned and with the extra income you buy your own health insurance etc at least you can chose which provider and not get the states shoddy service.
Socialism is despicable
Save Britain from Kier Stalin; vote Reform.
Yes! Vote Farage the old tory now dictator of Reform! It's his business NOT a political party! That's why it's a contract & NOT a manifesto!😂

You forgot the dole dossers from born and bred in the UK
All our lives we are schooled into saving our money. Buy a house. Get a car. Save for holidays. Save for retirement. Then you get penalised for having savings if you need to apply for benefits. The health service will take it when they insist on you moving into an old age home. The government will take your savings in tax or penalise you because of your foresight.
Are there not enough of us that can vote against a labour government?
@johnwealthy6044 there's a lot of people voting Labour, just to stick a finger up to conservatives. The msm are doing a good job making people believe there are only two parties.
@@johnwealthy6044there are enough but apathy is rife.
How can they take your savings?
@@Vegan_Lion21 Taxing isas. Taxing interest. Taxing dividends.
Labour punish the productive workers in favor of the work shy and lazy.
Typical hypocritical communist Labour.
Hit the nail on the head.
Labour don't care for working class. They target working class for the in favour of the dole class.
Labour likes dole class because they are stuck on the plantation, they dare not vote against Labour since they are the income.
This is why Labour want more people to be dependent on government. So they become trapped voting for them
Yep….. Labour will tax success to make the rest feel good
SNP are the same high tax and 15 benefits that no other part of the UK can get,I think it’s called buying votes.

@@redbeard3923 They put their trust in a chaotic fraudster.
@@HVex76 There are not enough people stupid enough to believe the lies of Reform so it's all good for Labour.
40% tax relief on pensions will go, and they'll be a cap on how much you can have in ISA's tax free - amongst other things. It won't be a tax on the rich, it will be a tax on the sensible.
Personally I think the forty percent tax threshold on pensions should have been scrapped years ago, there should only be one rate for everyone.
Next worry is inhertance tax relief for agriculture.
They could remove that for farmers forcing all farms to sell up on Britain. Even the bigger farmers.
And who going to be able to afford these farms? Wealthy foreners who won't even farm just turn farms into houses etc.
That's the "plan", make everybody become "misērable", wāke up and prēpare before its toō late
All whilst they grow richer with their snouts in the trough the despicable turds
It will be a tax on success
My savings are going under the bed again then.
Yep.
Labour will tax you for having a bed
I used to do that worst place for it as its stolen off you by inflation, put it on the moon but they still take it off you by inflating it's purchasing power away.

Exactly. I don't fear the politicians as I do the electorate. Labour rely on a huge following that are happy to have a tax on envy.
Scary isn’t it

I bet his savings will be untouched by his plans.
I will never vote for Labour .
Bound to be unaffected by this and he will make sure that none of his cronies lose out financially as well. Absolute hypocrites the lot of them and as soon as they are in power they will dip their hands in our wallets and do so for the next 5 years as well as making all of us by an electric car that we can't afford and buy a heat pump just to satisfy his green agenda. He will bankrupt all of us and the country in the process of doing this so just vote Reform and spread the word as well!!

Your right! We need government led by working class hero’s like Sunak and Farage 😂

Look at his pension arrangements, he is exempted from many rules that the population have to adhere to.
Same old Labour: benefit the scrounges at everyone else’s expense.
There are votes to be had from the grateful idle!! The lust for power in politics knows no shame.

and take 3 million nhs workers out tax for 3 years vote reform and save NHS staff
That is a great policy. Should be kept in line with the minimum wage so if you work the average week (38 hours?) you only pay income tax if you get more than the minimum wage.
People haven't voted yet but People can change there minds now l hope People take this on Broad don't trust Labour
I knew a Labour govt would be a disaster for the country but the more I hear of Labour's plans 'disaster' becomes an understatement. Vote Reform 🇬🇧

@@zoltan-zq3xe Oh dear.
Working family have no choice but to "save" to afford anything. So Slippery Starmer is also eyeing my savings too...
Vote "Starmer" if you want to loose everything you worked hard for, only to see him give it to the lazy, the feckless and those who shouldn't be here. VOTE "REFORM" to restore sanity to British politics. A vote for the "Conservatives" is a wasted vote or worse still a vote to let Labour in by the back door. SAVE OUR COUNTRY, VOTE "REFORM".
Reform is what we need
You know you can't trust globopopulists.
Vote Reform
Starmer says nothing concrete, he is a slippery eel. He seems to say vote for me and then I’ll tell you what I’m going to do.
No I will not be voting for Starmer. Vote Reform UK
A bit like the Democrats in America done in the last election.
A vote for Labour is a vote for more of the same TURBO charges.
Starmer the authoritarian ruler in waiting.
The highest tax burden in a lifetime - and they are looking at raising tax!
Don't save spend saving then live off the country That's Labour. I will vote Reform.
Why would you want to vote for this party..unless your on benefits
Right, reform it is for my vote. I'm a worker...I did all the right things...education..worked my way up...i save more than I spend...people like me are already hammered on tax for being successful....I'll just take it out of the banks and investments and put it elsewhere.. then I'll ask my director for a self employed contract and stop paying top band tax too. How about that....how many people who earn good money with brains do you think have the ability to do exactly the same too....
you'll get what you Vote FOR
True
People are already waking up to labour and they are not even in yet , I give them 6 months to a year and will will have another general election.
With around 200 majority ? More likely Starmer will be replaced by unions and replaced with Ginger.
More like replaced by Khan. Then we all and truly screwed
Avoid civil unrest - don’t vote for labour
Weasel Starmer,vote Reform

So people who work he's not going to hike taxes. So does that mean he's going to raise taxes for politicians and public servants... ?
Yes it's going up extra 2000 on working class...we got to pay for wars and mass immigration

Just do not vote Labour.
Starmer out of touch ,,people who have worked all their lives have been taxed all their lives ,now he’s after their savings( GET LOST ) matey
Not even in office, and already talking about raising taxes....
People are preoccupied with red and blue while not realising that they are fighting for their very existance
They assuming Labour will win before anyone has voted! As if there is no other possible outcome. The polls said Labour would win the 2019 election...But so many are saying they will vote Reform. Us included.
If you have a house , a garden , a car, a pension or savings them are coming for you.
REFORM all the wayb
What Comrade Starmer actually means is. Your working for yourself rather then solely for the state and must therefore be dealt a heavy dose of Equity.
REFORM - REFORM !!!!
Vote Reform 🗳

@@grannythebuilder395 I think you'll find that a vote for the Tories will help Labour more than a vote for Reform.

I wonder how much he has in savings? He's certainly not a worker.
He doesn't need savings. He will have a gold plated guaranteed inflation proofed public sector pension worth 10 times more than what most people can afford in the private sector. Being an MP it will be in six figures without him having any savings at all. He is coming after everyone in the private sector to pay for the snouts in the trough public sector workers.
He doesn't pay tax on his DPP pension it's tax free and it's a lot more than the state pension
@@kennethmaley2443 And now it seems he doesn't want anyone to have savings, so presumably the state pension will go up to replace any money we may have put aside for the future!!

What is Starmer playing at. Taxing people's savings is obscene. This is supposed to be the party that denied the tax rise accusations.
Tax the rich, you dense cap doffer. Scrap the Windsors and we’d have loads more cash.

I've grafted for every single penny I have, and paid tax on it.
Don't vote Labour, buy gold and lock it away somewhere away from prying eyes, abroad if necessary, whoever governs this country doesn't deserve to take our savings and spend it on people who haven't paismd a penny.
I earned it, I'm keeping it.
I recall Gordon Brown back-dating taxes on plane flights. So the holiday I had bought months ago I was contacted to pay more for as Labour imposed taxes and back-dated it. Never trust Labour
Rinsing us blind in Wales with massive council tax rises and the highest water charges. Council tax revaluation s coming your way too, England.
council tax has already gone up LibDem council
🙄😬
The only " Savings" I have is money put aside for future bills, car tax, petrol,car insurance, house insurance, MOT & servicing for car costs, boiler maintenance, gas & electric & water bills, council tax, brown bin payments, TV licence, so not for luxuries,just for survival...... Starmer hasn't got a clue, he's being fed his lines via, Blair, Brown, Mandelson & Khan..
Starmer keeps reminding us that his father was a toolmaker pity his biggest tool was his son

Starmer was definitely a Trotskyite, see 'Socialist Alternative '.
He does have plans to raise council tax. Working ppl pay it. He is just a big fat lier.

His pal Blair will be coaching him one slime ball teaching a new slime ball do not trust. The workers will be hammered one way or the other you will pay for it
Making it less desirable to have savings….all fits with the own nothing and be happy plan🤔
Saved for years and years into my pension in a fairly low paid job and had a tidy sum to give me a few comforts in retirement. Along comes Gordon Brown, taxes the pension schemes out of sight. When I took my pension 5 years later it was worth half of what it was and my pension income was halved. Only just keeping up with the costs of living now, no room for comforts. Not so for public sector workers whose gold plated pension is guaranteed, inflation proofed and payment into their schemes are 10 times that put into private pensions. Those are the wealthy people Starmer should be chasing after as they are so rich. They do not need savings because they have such overblown generous pensions. Those on private pensions do need savings because you cannot survive on one of the poorest state pensions in Europe alone.
I don't understand why useless Labour is still existed after the fall of USSR.
How about a 100% tax on their worldwide income on MPs who suggest these stupid ideas? This would raise an absolute fortune.
Urgh focus groups staffed by ideologically captured kids straight out of university who have never worked a day in their lives.
VOTE REFORM.

We are all in the dentists waiting room for our appointment on July 4th except the pain won't go away after that, it will only get worse. Hopefully this will be labour's swan song and we'll never hear from them again.
That's a total fking lie - I had savings when I was made redundant in the 2008 crash and wasn't entitled to much govt help - that year cost me over £15,000 while idiots with ZERO savings got full govt benefits. how is the remotely fair? I had savings because I didn't waste money on crap, had few holidays or expensive take out food.
Frugality is something to be punished now?
Same happened to us
Would rather have some money stashed earning some interest than buying the latest crap, but then these super wealthy types, hypocrites, want to punish our choice of striving to be financially secure, this is Soviet era bullshit. Reform.
I'm drawing a deferred pension that doesn't even cover my monthly bills, I have two others that are worth tuppence. However, after scrimping and having some funds from share Saye schemes I've managed to save some money in an ISA, not the richest but this was going to supplement any shortages in pensions. Lived frugally , worked hard, wife has nothing , pension that I am drawing is 50% underfunded and another one is 17%, poor performance and litigation on the company the SAYE shares gone south. I hope they aren't going to target me because I've tried to cover myself and re direct the fruits of my labour to someone who expects to be kept by the government.😊
Settle down Grandpa. Next gens aren't paying for your gold plated pension. Those days are over.
@@jackboltonjr3642 1 - not "grandpa" - 2 yes, yes you will be paying for my pension, because my state pension, when I draw it, will be paid by the contributions paid by the taxpayers THAT SAME YEAR.

Vote Labour, and "you will own nothing, and be happy". Sunak, and the others are just as hostile.
The only difference is they use smiles, and not guns.
taxing our savings will mean we take money out in cash & put in the safe!
I won't be surprised, anyone with anything over 16,000 pounds in the bank will be tax on the rest. He'll abolish tax on the interest but look at your overall savings and investments and tax the whole lot at 20% every year.
Tax is designed to keep you from ever getting ahead and comfortable.
Who in their right mind would vote Labour?
The only way to get reform for the U.K. is to VOTE REFORM U.K.

Vote reform!
If Starmer brings in a tax on savings he should be permanentantly deported to North Korea.

I’m already bored with listening to Starmer’s dulcet adenoidal voice and he hasn’t even taken office yet!
He cant define the working class when asked,he was lost for words the tool.
How dare you say working people don't have savings. We have worked very hard for our money, because we were working people and didn't waste it.
How dare you say you will take people's savings, when they have worked so hard..
