The T Word

Join Justine and Gaz for another lively episode of The T Word as they discuss the week's biggest stories. With Rachel Reeves set to deliver her budget, we dive deep into the leaked plans - from freezing income tax thresholds that'll drag 9 million more people into higher tax brackets, to the proposed scrapping of the two-child benefit cap. But here's the real kicker: while millionaires like Lakshmi Mittal flee to Switzerland and 10,800 wealthy individuals abandon the UK, Labour thinks the solution is more spending and higher taxes. We break down why this death spiral approach never works and what it means for ordinary working people.00:00 - Predicting the Budget10:38 - Breakfast Clubs: £300M For Toast?26:14 - AI Discussion BeginsThe T-Word is your weekly dose of honest political commentary from Justine and Gaz Thomas, a brother-sister team who aren't afraid to call out the nonsense from all sides.

This week on The T-Word, we're diving into the absolute circus that was conference season. From Keir Starmer name-dropping Nigel Farage 48 times to Kemi Badenoch's too-little-too-late ECHR promise, the establishment parties are scrambling. The Green Party wants to ban landlords (yes, really), and we explain why that's economic madness. But the real kicker? Gary Neville's tone-deaf rant against the very people who made him rich. We break down why flags represent territory, not racism, and why British people have every right to be proud of their country02:15 Green Party Landlord Ban10:30 Is the Conservative Party Dying?20:40 Labour Party Conference27:40 Gary Neville Flag DiscussionThe T-Word is your weekly dose of honest political commentary from Justine and Gaz Thomas, a brother-sister team who aren't afraid to call out the nonsense from all sides.

We break down how this system can be easily circumvented by unscrupulous employers, the shocking security flaws already present in government systems, and why this feels like a dystopian overreach that could lead to Chinese-style social credit systems.We also tackle the waste in public spending - from asylum seekers taking £980 taxi rides to GP appointments, to councils spending 10% of their budgets on school transport, to the astronomical costs of migrant hotels at £8 million per day. Plus, we discuss the absurdity of arresting 12,000 people for social media posts while knife attackers walk free with suspended sentences.What's your take on digital ID cards - necessary security measure or government overreach?
