A sign of a crazy world when you’re feeling relieved to find something that’s only a 33.33% increase for a policy that hasn’t changed one little bit. Madness.

£280 to £330 with mine, so not too much in the first place. But still 15% more for the same thing.

The govt not moving the income tax bandings for the last few years is leaving us all worse off, and putting dents in any pay rises anyone is lucky enough to receive.
Y’know that’s a perfect example of what triggers me when politicians bang on about inflation and pay rises.
Pay rises are Gross, but increases on bills come out of our net. That 15% rise ain’t 15 bloody %, we’ve got to earn considerable more than 15% to net it to pay it.
Sorry, that’s not meant to be preachy and certainly not targeted at anyone individually, but it just winds me right up they never mention it when in reality most people are falling behind at an even faster rate than they want us to realise.
Oh there are few similar areas where thresholds have been held and inflation has very conveniently tipped into higher taxation.
At least the extremes of the CoL are exposing everyone to the sly stealth taxes of the tories.
Some people are more able to ride those out than others of course but any wider realisation of what these crooks are up to is no bad thing.
