Including for the ~3 million of us in the UK alone suffering life-crippling #LongCovid without any support, too unwell to work, barely able to function, often housebound (and losing our homes), in an ONGOING pandemic, many infected multiple times, all ages. #MECFS is in the same bracket.
The word "COVID" doesn't appear once in the govts 10 year plan for health, says economist @mrmarkethomas.bsky.social from the @99organisation.bsky.social in parliament just now.
How can you make an economic plan while ignoring something so monumental?
"Ignoring COVID is a serious flaw."

2/2 Until we tackle the extraction economy at its root, living standards won’t recover and the promise of “change” will remain unfulfilled.
This Budget steadies the ship but doesn’t change its course.

1/2 Today’s Budget has some welcome steps, including ending the two-child limit and the start of council tax reform.
But it’s tactical, not strategic.
Britain needs a plan that taxes wealth fairly, devolves real power, and brings essential utilities back under public control.

NEW: I've crunched the stats and these are the places that could have highest proportion of mansion tax payers after today's #budget.
In Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea, more than a quarter of homes sold in the last three years were worth over £2m.
