This was a botched Budget by a Chancellor who’s diagnosed the disease but won’t administer the cure.
Despite promises to cut the cost of living and grow the economy, the Government still refuses to fix our trade relationship with Europe and repair the £90bn Brexit black hole.

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed
🚨Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. We must come together - cross party - to stop any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom

Nationalise Royal Mail again; take over Amazon distribution; and any company that wants access to the largest distribution network has to pay the government so can’t dodge taxes.
Also make all the trucks solar powered via solar roofing on warehouses.
Just for a start.

Me about to piss off the capitalists even more: I actually think investing money in genAI and all its data centres should be banned until it proves it does not harm the environment (spoiler, it will not) and also proves it is actually useful (spoiler, it is not).

The post office is a good idea provided they don't sell it off like they have the Royal mail!
