Two million British workers face the prospect of paying 60 per cent of their income to the government in taxes as a result of the latest round of hikes by the supposedly conservative government which is also splashing out billions more on state employees’ pensions.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt have “declared war” on workers and small businesses with their tax-hiking autumn budget, according to Nigel Farage.

Britain’s finance minister said that Britons must “face into the storm” as he announced a swath of new taxes and spending cuts, supposedly to shore up the nation’s finances while somehow still stimulating growth, as the country faces the prospect of the longest recession in recorded history.

The ‘cash-strapped’ government, now preparing tax hikes, will overspend on its aid budget by around £1 billion due to the migrant influx.

The British public will reportedly be on the hook for another £25 billion in tax hikes in Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s budget next month, as the tax burden is set to hit its highest level since the 1940s.

Sunak implied he would be slashing borrowing, which will certainly mean considerable tax rises, cuts in government, or both. 

Truss made her final speech, quoting stoic philosopher Seneca and laying ground for a future ‘told you so’ moment on the danger of high tax.

Liz Truss is no radical but her very slight deviation from treasury orthodoxy has been so harshly punished, a brand new Prime Minister is throwing her brand new chancellor to the wolves.

For every £1 the average UK household will get in Liz Truss tax cuts, it will lose £2 to stealth taxes built into the system, a report claims.

Truss defended her agenda: “Whenever there is change, there is disruption. And not everybody will be in favour… But everyone will benefit”.

The government has noticed some people are taking time off work to look after elderly relatives and they aren’t happy.

Liz Truss is scrapping plans to get rid of the 45 per cent tax rate on income over £150,000 (~$168,000) after pressure from central bankers, the financial establishment, and leftists.

Prime Minister Liz Truss has been on a media tour defending her tax-cutting ‘mini-budget’ amid fierce criticism from the left and central bankers.

The new British government has confirmed a massive energy subsidy programme and widespread deregulation and tax reform for businesses.

Nigel Farage told Breitbart while Truss wouldn’t normally get his support, he thinks she might actually deliver on her Thatcherite rhetoric.

New UK PM heavily hinted there would be tax cuts this week, and that these would not please people with ideological opposition to tax cuts. 

Tory leadership hopefuls Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss have set out questionable visions of how they would govern Britain, with tax-hiking Sunak pledging seminal tax cuts – someday – and “right-wing” Truss vowing to import even more migrant workers. 

Conservative members who will make the choice on the next UK Prime Minister prefer Liz Truss for the job over Rishi Sunak, polling suggests.
