Labour commits suicide

Since the 1970s governments of all political colour have not raised UK income tax rates. Tony Blair and Keir Starmer Ferve got elected on election promising no tax rises! This included VAT, NI contributions unless critically no income tax rise.

The current Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, also increased employer National Insurance contributions in her recent October 2024 Budget, which is a different form of tax rise. She has faced speculation about future income tax rate rises, though no basic rate increases have been formally announced in her Budgets as of November 2025. 

attorney is that Rachel Rees will go down in the history books as I leave her tax raising chancellor! and now she is hung up increasing income tax. that was thus raised by Dennis Healy in 1975.

with inevitable disastrous results as Margaret Thatcher got elected 1979.

Rachel Reeds is trying to engage the UK population in a discussion about raising income tax. they must latent contradiction of manifesto fledges!

and around the world politicians have a track record for breaking manifesto pledges. but raising the UK income tax rate is the forbidden tax. it'll mark the cessation of Labour as a serious UK political party.

the graystone for level 40 will bear the inscription “Killed needlessly by Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer 2025”
