Looks like we’re now switching from blaming migrants for all the ills of the world to blaming people on ‘welfare’.

New polling from European Movement UK shows that three quarters of people who see the economic damage of Brexit now back joining the Single Market and Customs Union to cut taxes and rebuild public services. The public knows the route to recovery, even if the Government refuses to face it.

Of British adults who feel Brexit has been harmful to the UK, over 75% favour the UK joining the Single Market and Customs Union as a way to lower the tax burden and boost money for public services.

BREAKING: Big challenge herein for all those leaders who hailed South Africa's stewardship of the G20 in Johnnesburg last weekend. Trump saying he won't allow them to attend next year's G20 in Florida (NOT in Miami, but at his own personal golf club). I suspect we'll all be skipping a year.

Reminder: G20 leaders knew last weekend that Trump was going to try and oust South Africa from next year's summit. That's why this final paragraph of the Jo'burg Summit Declaration was so very carefully worded. The "Miami" Summit (at Trump's golf club in Doral) is now very unlikely to happen.

It was as if Badenoch was not in the room to hear the Budget Statement.
Badenoch, itching to stand up and shout her prepared hate speech. No substance. No shame.
One sentence Kemi in her every speech ending with, "resign" (projecting).
Yes Kemi...You should.

I’m enjoying the Budget while I can, because when the papers come out tomorrow they will dictate the narrative. Left with the impression that Kemi Badenoch and a fair proportion of the Tories prefer personal abuse to reasoned argument

Leak comes as OBR accidentally uploaded their forecasts early (not HMT's fault!)
But surely huge consequences for OBR - blind fury about this in government
