The OBR says that the VAT charge on private schools has raised more money than expected because fewer pupils have gone into the state sector

"Gilts" represent the cost of Government borrowing.
When the Gilt market panics, due to thinking the Government is incompetent, reckless or irresponsible, the cost shoots up.
When they are happy, the cost drops.

If anyone ever needs reminding of what the Tory party stands for, look no further than their reaction today to the Labour government lifting the Nation’s children out of poverty 👇
Tory front benches equally furious at a tax on mansions and hundreds of thousands of kids being pulled out of poverty. Shameful stuff.

Any budget that addresses wealth inequality in this country will be screamed at by the media and the Tories. Why? Because they are joined at the hip - evidenced by a SkyNews executive running off to become a Tory minister a few years ago.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

Macron says that after a peace deal is signed, "assurance forces" will be deployed beyond the front line, including in Kyiv and Odesa. Nearly 20 countries, among them the UK, France, and Turkey are ready. These won’t be NATO forces but a multilateral coalition acting like NATO’s eastern flank.
