In light of 'The Troubles' over the years and the fact a recent major attack in February, an off-duty senior detective suffered life-changing injuries after being shot several times by dissident republican paramilitaries.
I would say potentially very serious.

The Tories have always boasted they are the perty of low taxes but that ic currently clearly not the case.
On a personal note, I am now paying more income tax on my two pensions than what I paid whilst in employment. Quote:

Is this old chestnut ever going to go away?

As long as the Nats are in power at Holyrood, no it won't.
Unless enough of their voter base in Weegieland return to voting for Labour I doubt much will change. Mike.

Is this the sort of action you'd expect from a so-called ally?

A random musing:
The longer the Tories are in power, the more determined to hang on to that power they are. In a democracy, the other side are allowed to have a go at governing when they're voted in even if you oppose everything they represent. Too many Tories seem to have forgotten that, if they believed in democracy at all. Which I think too many of the current crop don't. That goes for the party's grass roots members as well. Mike.

Rishi Sunak is so seriously out of touch I find it extremely worrying.

^You can say that for all the political parties of the UK, each one of their leaders wants to take us on a road to nowhere, I have no idea who'll win the next General Election but I do know this, it will crash and burn within 18 months.

On a rare positive note:
Quote:
We are in the middle of a six year freeze on increases to the personal tax allowance thresholds so because of the above rises, millions are now entering the taxpayer bands. The Tories are no longer the government of 'low taxes'

This is very divisive and is causing quite a stir in some local communities.
Something similar is being trialled in the city of Newcastle not far from where I live.
