VAT should be reduced anyway, flat rate taxes can fuck off, should be more income tax on higher wages, maybe a new extra high band with a decent percentage on it.
I've been with my employer just over a year so will be bringing up an inflationary wage increase, not expecting it to go well as I've been helping the other guys write letters and start negotiating based on the fact they've not had a pay rise in the last 3 years or so. I've probably got a bit more leverage being the only mechanic but I already earn a little more than the shop floor guys and wrangled a percentage of labour bonus when I started. Plus the owner is useless, recently retired to Spain despite attempting to vote Brexit until realising he wasn't registered when trying to, also obviously trying to sell the place between bouts of interfering that do more harm than good.
