We know him well! 😁🫶💚

Thanks! I will of course be supporting @greenpartyni.org as an alternative

Thank you Clyde! 💚

The concern is about freezing thresholds: if pay and prices rise while bands stay fixed, more low and middle earners move into higher rates even though their real spending power has not improved. That effect is what economists mean by “fiscal drag”.

You’re right about marginal bands – only income above each threshold is taxed at the higher rate, and that often gets misunderstood.

Photo ops won’t deliver Safe Leave - pressure will. If you’re tired of ministers posing with placards while victims wait for rights already won in law, join the party that fought for Safe Leave and is still pushing to get it enacted: greenpartyni.org/join.

He’s threatening us with a good time… 🤣

Families, hospitals and schools are in crisis today. Dragging the money out over 3 to 4 years is like tossing a bucket of water at a house fire and calling it “transformational.” Northern Ireland deserves real investment, not drip‑fed crumbs and spin.

Join us if you want roads funded fairly and polluters finally paying their share. Together, we can build a transport future that’s clean, fair and modern: greenpartyni.org/join.

Fuel duty doesn’t cover the real costs, and the biggest, heaviest and dirtiest vehicles get away with paying least per mile. A universal pay-per-mile system makes polluters pay, not just EV drivers, and stops government sending signals that keep us stuck in the past.

Labour might talk change, but for ordinary people this is business as usual for the super rich.

Join us if you’re done with scraps and sticking plasters disguised as progress. £370 million won’t fix our battered health, education or energy systems - not while big polluters and the ultra-rich get a free pass, and families still pay the price for years of neglect: greenpartyni.org/join.

Without bold wealth taxes, real climate action, and transformative investment, Labour’s budget continues the cycle of inequality and neglect. Northern Ireland deserves more than scraps and excuses, we need real change.

Scrapping the two-child benefit cap comes far too late for families forced into poverty by years of cruel government policy. A fuel duty freeze is a sticking plaster, doing nothing to drive the urgent shift to green transport we need.

The extra £370 million for Stormont is welcome, but it’s dwarfed by the scale of the crisis in our health, education, and energy systems.

Join us if you’re done with crumbs and slogans from politicians who let the richest 50 families hoard more wealth than half the UK while ordinary people face empty pockets and empty promises.

Power should serve everyone, not just the privileged few: greenpartyni.org/join.
