UK Autumn Statement from the government

The Chancellor's autumn statement is due tomorrow.
Reading the papers today it seems everyone is likely to be hit with increases in pricing since inflation is stubbornly refusing to come down fast enough and pension and benefit claimants are likely to bare the brunt of a suspected 1% cut in income tax or national insurance contributions they want to give the top 1%.
Conservatives. When you don't know what to do, hit those with no power to hit back first.

I think a lot of those pensioners likely voted for Boris and his populist shitshow in 2019. They got what they voted for.

@Richard65 Not good if a sizable slice of your elders are likely to be put through the dehumanising ordeal of being referred to food banks to ensure they can eat every other day though is it

@Picklebobble2 I agree, but unfortunately people aren't knowledgeable about politics and vote through prejudice or on the basis of empty promises. Anyone who votes Tory surely knows by now exactly what they represent. I'm sorry for those who didn't vote for the self-serving white supremacist Boris Johnson, but for those who did, including huge swathes of the Red Wall, you reap what you sow.
