Most working-age benefits to rise by 1% for each of next three years

From 2014-15 lifetime pension relief allowance to fall from £1.5m to £1.25m

Basic state pension to rise by 2.5% next year to £110.15 a week

Child benefit to rise by 1% for two years from April 2014

Local housing allowance rates to rise in line with existing policy next April but increases in the following two years capped at 1%

Wow, that's nearly £1 billion per year.

UK public sector could have £4 trillion of hidden debts

The UK’s public sector debt could be nearly £4 trillion higher than headline figures suggest, according to new research that highlights the scale of the economic challenges facing the Government.

Couldn't help but listen to that on the drive back to sanity and muse on just how simply we could have a world where no-one has to worry about their benefit decreasing in real terms or their corporation tax liabilities necessitating the employ of a dozen offices of accountants...

They're set to attack benefits further according to the news headlines I heard this morning, because they're not gaining enough by the recent bout of robbing the poor. :(

Autumn Statement: Benefit squeeze as economy slows
Chancellor George Osborne has announced a fresh squeeze on benefits, as he admits the UK economy is performing less well than expected.
Austerity measures will be extended to 2018 and Mr Osborne looks set to miss key debt-reduction targets.
He also announced more money for roads and schools and axed a planned 3p fuel duty rise, in his Autumn Statement.

Right, we've saved nearly £1 billion per year by increasing the poverty of the most vulnerable people in society. What shall we spend it on?

HMS Audacious: MoD announces £1.2bn submarine contract

A new attack submarine, HMS Audacious, has been commissioned by the Ministry of Defence in a contract worth £1.2bn.

The BAE Systems deal, which will secure 3,000 jobs at Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, will progressively replace the Trafalgar Class currently in service.

A further £1.5bn has been committed to the remaining three Astute Class submarines being built, the MoD said.

Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said the contracts would offer the UK's armed forces "greater certainty".

The billion won't even get spent on anything tangible. It will no doubt be swallowed in paying interest. It might give us headway to borrow another billion to put towards the sub though eh, with more interest ofc.

Just the interest is about £50 billion per annum, I think.

Ukdebt2

That doesn't include all of the 'off the balance sheet' liabilites that there is no way of funding either. You can see total government spending for 2010-11 here:

www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/oc...g-department-2010-11

Public Spending 460

Already just paying back interest on debt that can never legitimately be paid back is over half of the budget for the NHS (£87 billion).

30billion on tax credits to bump up insufficient wages I see.
Massive cuts on infrastructure spending and then a pile increased on defense.

Apparently we are now in the midst of a triple-dip recession.

Even someone with a very rudimentary grasp of politics and economics like me can see that's not very good.

Do you think that's why Kate has gone and got herself up the duff? They'll be able to sell some more flags, bunting and commemorative mugs once the baby is born.

People should have protested BAE Sys­tems if they don't like money spent on the submarines being built...

People either don't care, don't have the time, are too dumbed down, don't know, or possibly think it's the right thing to do.
Even if that did happen, it's unlikely the MOD & their chums BAE will turn round & say - 'oh, we won't bother then. Keep the cash for schools & hospitals.'
