Original Note:
The poster assumes all GDP is either wages or taxes. However, much of GDP is in fact corporate profits, rents, etc. Additionally, much UK government spending is on things like healthcare, education, policing, infrastructure, etc, used by workers and their families. https://obr.uk/forecasts-in-depth/the-economy-forecast/income
