The two child limit is and will stay popular with the public. It jars a sense of “fairness”: if I have to assess my finances before having kids, why shouldn’t you? But people get sick, sacked, and contraception fails. Crucially, fairness isn’t always what matters. Whether a child goes hungry does.

The OBR have said it might be an “external person” who leaked their budget report before the Chancellor’s budget speech yesterday.

And BTW, next time some wag says "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", remind them that when Eris rolled an apple in front of Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, it led to bickering which ultimately kicked off the Trojan War slaughter-fest.

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

Liam Byrne is reminding the House of Kemi Badenoch & the Conservative Party’s amnesia about: 14 yrs of Tory rule doubling national debt, much of the debt created by the Tories before Covid, increased by Brexit and the KamiKwazi budget - with poverty through the roof in the Tories 14 years of power.

1) The leader of a party whose peers have voted to water down the biggest upgrade to workers' rights in a generation says what?
2) Wages have grown faster while this Government has been in power than in the whole decade under the Tories. But sure, Labour are letting workers down.

Er. Yes. You see, you take money from people who have money, and use it to pay for things for everyone and help people who have too little money. That's... the whole point?

Rachel Reeves is not perfect. I have had issues with some of her policy ideas, but she is a million times the woman that Kemi Badenoch is. Badenoch attacking, Reeves over the misogyny she has experienced, is quite disgusting.

Some chunky support for energy bills, probably amounts to around £125 of support. But some of it only last three years - supporting families through the hump in energy prices, or convenient with a four year fiscal rule?

Rachel Reeves just thanked Joe Powell in the budget for his representations on high street tax evasion and pledged more resources to track down "fraudulent business owners who vanish without paying their taxes". This is one of the issues Joe raised with the chancellor.
What's up with the Harry Potter shops in central London?
London Centric's investigation into their finances was raised in the House of Commons by Kensington and Bayswater Labour MP Joe Powell. He asked ministers what it will take to get HMRC officials to check the shops are paying their taxes.
