The optimist in me says yay 🎉, but the cynic in me worries that this is just Labour shaking a potential carrot at us just before announcing what is reportedly about to be the most savage tax hiking budget in recent history. They were originally going to do it in a couple of weeks on the 13th of Sept but recently pushed the announcement back to the 30th of October just before Halloween.
It feels like they know it’s going to piss everyone off, so they want more time to promise some sunshine 🌞 and rainbows 🌈 stuff first. Also, reading through that article it already sounds like there’s going to be plenty of wiggle room for businesses to make sure they get their pound of flesh by squeezing 5 day into 4 from workers or outright use the “not reasonably feasible” exemption if the definitions are vague in any way.
I hope I’m wrong, but ironically it’s the last few years of Labour really ramping up how aggressively they picked apart everything the Tories were doing that’s made me so cynical of all politicians. 🤨
Trump claiming he won regardless and trying to create as much trouble as possible is the most likely election outcome. I’m not getting my hopes up until President Kamala Harris is in the Whitehouse having a nice cup of tea. In fact after the last few years I’m not getting my hopes up about anything ever again unless there’s absolute proof that it’s real.
