VAT Is Tax

 

Keir’s getting desperate for new income streams. First he hiked National Insurance—until it was chased out it being nothing more than a tax on jobs. Honestly, if he wants to be bold, he should be taxing AI.

Every computer involved in producing food or goods should carry a curvy little levy, scaled by how many humans it’s replaced in the supply chain. That’s the real cost of progress.

Now, it’s in the papers today: he’s toying with raising VAT. Despite pledging not to touch it, the whispers are growing louder. For context, back in 1973, Purchase Tax was 13% before VAT took over. Our entanglement with the EU nudged it up 2%, and now we’re staring down another 2% hike.

Of course, the government will lose the next convenience vote—though that’s just a dream I had last night. In reality, we’re stuck with Labour until they see out their toe... unless a confidence vote shakes things up.

Labour’s latest brainstorm? Air meters for everyone. Rachel spins faster during voting season, and soon you’ll get a monthly text demanding payment based on how much oxygen you’ve used. Breathe Lakeland air? That’ll cost extra.

And Keir? He’s floated the idea of rebranding himself with a superhero nickname: Kevlar Strapon. Says it makes him sound tougher. Personally, I think “Oh Git Face” has more charm.
