Budget November 2025

Absolutely agree with both those thoughts. Only change from that is I’d have reduced NI under UEL by the 2% they should have upped income tax but increased by 1% over UEL, so lower rate is 6% and upper 3% instead if 8% and 2% currently. I suggested a week or so ago an additional 1% VAT on non food online shopping.

Agree re lack of imagination. Tinkering around the edges. There is so much scope for reframing taxation.

Raising taxes to give even more away, I'm all for that oh yes
The worse Labour Government in living memory, who have unturned on virtually every promise they made in conning the British public to put them back in Downing Street, all the Tories fault see, that excuse is more than wearing thin.

Is that the CAMBUS issue MajR? The Lexarse RXs had a fix applied so many were going walkabout. I wasn't aware RAVs had the same issue. To be honest I wasn't over impressed with the RAV when we test drove it. I preferred the Sportage, but my neighbours love theirs.

Yes, it’s an issue which is affecting a number of models in the range. Toyota have developed fixes including installing plates to prevent the thieves from accessing the wiring, but the thieves are always catching up and changing their mo and they are now cutting holes in the tail gates of some models to access the wiring and steal the car. I suspect in cases like this the cars are chopped up for spare parts.
