UK massive tax hikes on the way

In a few of the Sunday papers today.
UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak is warning of major tax hikes in the new year as Britain starts paying back the debt borrowed for the Coronavirus.

Also in many papers the Prime Minister Boris Johnson suggesting that a ‘no deal’ with the E:U seems the most likely outcome and people should prepare for that possibility.

Internal Tory party squabbles are already simmering as many Conservative MP’s represent business interests openly.
One or two starting to sew seeds of discontent warning that the Prime Minister will be on shaky ground if he tries to push his Brexit deal through Parliament and it not being up to scratch.

Ironic that Boris Johnson said a deal would be easy as a major sell point for BREXIT. There was certainly no majority in our country for a no deal BREXIT. We sadly have a democracy based on lies at this sad time.

@4185philip It was always going to be impossible to navigate.

We may have been a major contributor but because of the length of time negotiating and then the Covid-19 problem on top and political indecisiveness from both Cameron and half of Parliament we are where we are !
I think comments in the papers today is an attempt to warn folk that a no deal looks the more likely outcome.

Then watch the Conservatives implode !

Could be a bloodbath

@4185philip it was meant to be "oven ready " and how he won the GE but he's backtracked on the deal he agreed and signed it really doesn't look good to other countries that we basically can't be trusted

@milkymum1 The whole BREXIT thing and the last general election was based on lies told to us. Now as you say they are wanting to break the, admittedly bad, treaty they signed. All such a mess feel so sorry for the people of Ireland for whom the EC has been a great uniting influence.
