James Sibley @jdsibley.bsky.social · 27/03/2025I don’t think the UK Government is trying to bridge the divide. They’re trying to buy time and Starmer nearly said that bit out loud at PMQs this week. It’s the right strategy for a country that maintains your nuclear arsenal in a naval base in Georgia 052
James Sibley @jdsibley.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Stupid policy: (1) A lot of money is being sucked out of the economy and into pensions (2) This will be taxed much later at a lower rate (3) Frozen thresholds will push more money into the big pension funnel as the years go by (4) A bunch of skilled workers will retire early in ~20-30 years 120
