The Labour government’s first budget certainly had an element of shock and awe, with the sheer scale of the numbers.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves told MPs that putting up taxes by £40 billion was the only responsible choice to restore stability to the country’s finances.
While in his swansong as leader of the opposition, Rishi Sunak accused Labour of breaking election promises on tax and fiddling the fiscal rules to borrow more.

You will own nothing and be happy
Agenda 2030 treason
FREE PALESTINE
My pan is to save and leave this country I'm going to Taiwan
Liar
She needs the money to fix her face
5:58 OK that's hilarious. Kier is completely out his depth
Bring on the redundancies
But they’re not “Labour” at all, are they? The modern Labour party long ago abandoned any pretence of socialist principles and support for working people. Nowadays they’re just another version of the ghastly Tory Party led by wealthy people (Rachel Reeves £150,000 plus a year, “Sir” Keir Starmer.)
Unemployment will rise like never seen before, and businesses will close.
Remember the 2008 crash when the state and tax payers money bailed out the failing banks too big to fail etc. Then what did they the banks do? They kept the money close to their chests refusing to lend money to those that needed it. Socialism for capitalism. Hypocrisy in the extreme. It's about time money went to the public and the services we the public need. About time. I'm happy with Scandinavian style taxes if we get a secure and happy populace. Even with this budget we are far from that. A big step in the right direction.
Not enough blame lands on MPs and accountability.They love smoke screens and call them illegals but they are the ones failing to do what people want sack more of them and stop perks
Invest money in stocks and shares and lose more money by paying into many very high risky investment! Each time in hardship times a con man appears to you as a friend to help you make lots and lots of money .But in thoery most are con man not all but most are taking advantage of ordinary working people!
100 billion invested in public services over next 5 years yeah all goes on wage agreements 🤣🤣🤔
I visited a farm today
no boisterous animals but me
It seems the farm had lost its deed
Through government avarice and greed
No tractors running in the dust
T'wer only left outside to rust
No chickens clucking in their pen
They had all alas been done in
The fields were nothing but stubble
The house in time razed to rubble
No movement no sound no texture
Estate tax is my conjecture
To be fair, this might not be a popular course of action but the Tories had 14 years of screwing things up so they can wind their neck in for a while
Had to turn this off, what's with that primary school teacher voice!!!
ALL POLITICIANS 50% WAGE CUT STARTING NOW
THIEVES IN PARLIAMENT!!!!
UK CURRUPT GOVERNMENT
The state of the UK economy is truly concerning—when half of people’s income goes straight to rent, it feels as if the government is pushing society toward a crisis. It’s disheartening to see a country this great struggle like this.
Voting Brexit and Labour gets you paying higher taxes, cost of living and lower NHI services, what did you expect. If you want to go on holiday to Europe if you can afford, start applying for your Visa's.
Its disgusting sussessive governments will take three billion a year off most vulnerable disabled to fund Ukraine war three billion every year.
Thatcher and Regan took fifty trillion off working and middle class and gave it to top 1%.
Tories stopped being a party long ago only there to fund the most wealthy.❤p.s employers know they can claim employee NI on tax lowering tax bills such liars the establishment
Helia rocking a strong groovy aunt vibe.
Tax Rishi and his friends!
21:47 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 speculation based on 14 years of lessons in the only thing you know how to do. You do realise most people do have eyes and ears right, don’t you guy.
So will the farmers be branded as the far right nazi farmer thugs, marching on the far left nazi thugs in Westminster
This is how you exacerbate an already low wage economy and a high skills brain drain.
