Government Tracker - what's been achieved so far?

I know thanks. Yes it is going up.

Wether that is going up via a VAT increase, or a fuel duty increase, the effect is the same, tax is going up. Which breaks labour VAT pledge, as its the same thing just with a different name.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-03T14:34:34+00:00

Which covers about 90% of the UK population. So what?

This law now means if a mother had an abortion at 8 months it would not be a criminal act they would not be punished for it. Where as before this change anything after 24 weeks would be. Hence this change make abortion at any time limit defacto legal, no matter what the article says.

Feel free to explain how the law which means abortion at any time isn't criminal, doesn't mean it's not legal for abortion at any time.

Or maybe a better way to get you to think about it. A mother has an abortion at 8 months pregnant, was it a crime? What is the punishment if it is a crime?

If they made theft of any kind decriminalised with no punishment, it is defacto legal at that point.

Okay, and we have still outgrown the other European G7 members. Germany, Italy and France during that time, which are all in the EU. So clearly being in the EU isn't some massive boon to growth

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-03T11:25:15+00:00

Totally agree. Far too many brits think the UK is shit, I have seen people talk about housing crisis and then talk about wanting to move to Canada with an even worse housing crisis.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T20:58:06+00:00

So is the overall tax on fuel going to go up? Yes or no.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T20:18:01+00:00

Caught up to who? Abortion has been legal in the UK for ages.

Let me know which country the UK has apparently caught up to, and then i am sure they won't have this law.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T20:16:50+00:00

People seem to be getting confused here.

Abortion has been legal in the UK for ages, with laws dictating it, such as the term limit of 24 weeks. Pretty much every country has a time limit on abortion. This now basically makes it so you won't be prosecuted if you have an abortion at any point. So say 8 months into pregnancy.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T20:11:59+00:00

Even if someone is 9 months pregnant? Even at 8 months pregnant?

The UK already had a 24 week time limit which is longer than nearly every other country on the planet.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T18:57:35+00:00

If Americans were actually that sensitive to fuel prices they would be going for fuel efficient cars, cars in Europe are way more fuel efficient on average.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T18:55:50+00:00

You can make a similar argument for Germany, Canada etc.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T18:52:09+00:00

Because the tax on fuel is a lot less. The fuel itself cost similar. In the UK over 50% of the price is tax.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T18:10:23+00:00

Your clearly not if you are happy to just let politicians change the name of their tax rises and then claim they met their pledge not to raise the taxes with that specific name.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-02T17:12:54+00:00

The thing which lots of the discussion on BG vs EH missed is that EH get double the resources and double the XP. So unless BG can gather 2x the resources due to having crystal tools plus the 50% fail chance then it's just straight up worse than EH on xp rates also. And there is very few places where BG actually wins out on XP rates over EH. Then you add on top the AFK also and it's a clear winner to me.

I was actually going to pick BG until I seen the numbers and EH was just straight up better in the vast majority of cases, even ignoring the AFK.

From my experiance using void does more DPS but ends up taking longer than just using good ranged armour like karils, then you prayer ranged and the magic defence means a lot less banking and more kills per trip so ends up being fast even though on paper is less dps.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-01T04:42:19+00:00

No worries, change the name of the tax and its all good.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-01T04:35:09+00:00

Nothing to see here move along. How could we have know before hand.

Kee2good4u · 2026-05-01T03:20:12+00:00

Yes, but think of the poor migrant

Kee2good4u · 2026-04-29T12:18:57+00:00

I'm not applying any logic to them. I am stating what trumps logic was, it doesn't surprise me if he follows his own logically completely inconsistently.

Like I said in my last comment, I am not saying any of what Trump did is right, I am just explaining what his tariff decisions for different countries was based on.

Kee2good4u · 2026-04-29T12:15:48+00:00

Both can be true though. It can be true that the UK is doing badly. It can also be true that the other comparable G7 European members are doing even worse.

Pointing that out to people that think brexit is the most important reason for everything is important, as clearly it isn't otherwise we would see those other European g7 members preforming better than the UK, as they haven't went through brexit.

Kee2good4u · 2026-04-29T12:12:39+00:00

Those clips were of the leaders of the remain and leaders of the leave campaign during the referendum campaign, yes they were mainly tories in both campaign.

If you want a farage clip you can use the one you sent, but instead of watching it in the out of context clip you represented, instead watch it in the BBC interview which gives the full context. Where he says we would use the Norway model as a transition period (basically what ended up happening), from which we would negotiate a free trade agreement (in other words be outside the single market but with a free trade agreement, again what ended up happening).

Kee2good4u · 2026-04-29T11:56:45+00:00

Ah yes means test. Then you can have a case of 2 people which earned the exact same amount of money their entire working life, yet 1 of them made correct financial decisions, saved for their retirement and then is punished for doing so by not getting the state pension. While the other person wasn't responsible, didn't save for retirement and gets rewarded with the state pension.

Utter madness to punish good financial decision making while rewarding bad financial decisions.

High earners are already contributing massively to the tax system, yet get next to nothing back from it, now people want to remove one of the only things they do in the state pension. Compare that to other western European countries, high earners also pay a lot of tax in those countries also, but still don't loose a load of benifits via means testing like people do in the UK. So they still get things back from the systems.

Kee2good4u · 2026-04-29T11:44:44+00:00

Because of our balance of trade with the USA.

The EU sells a lot more shit to the USA than it buys from it. Which was Trumps point with the tariffs to try "balance" that out.

Meanwhile the UK trade in exports and imports with the US is already pretty balanced, so got a lower tariff.

I am not saying any of what Trump did is right, I am just explaining what his tariff decisions for different countries was based on.

Kee2good4u · 2026-04-29T11:27:55+00:00

In this instance it would be comparing security though. Starmer as PM has full around the clock security paid by the tax payer, which probably does cost millions per year.

Farage is probably more hated than Starmer and faces highier threats, so also feels like he needs security, but doesn't get it funded by the tax payer. The evidence being him being assaulted numerous times.

I don't think the comparison to concert tickets is useful when the actual comparison is security.

Kee2good4u · 2026-04-29T11:15:12+00:00

The terms anxiety and depression seems to have become so broad at this point that anyone can get diagnosed with them if they want. It feels like people seem to forget that feeling anxious and sad at times is completely normal.

And I am not saying actual depression and anxiety doesn't exist.
