Very much not a fan of the current incarnation of Labour. But the media coverage of the budget is absolutely wild.

Reeves is absolutely deserving of defence at the moment, given the total incoherence of the attacks against her.
However, to an extent, Labour are now reaping what they sow in terms of leaning into narratives about black holes, maxxed out credit cards and other such nonsense.

Have Labour REALLY backed themselves into a position where 2 pensioners who own their home and have a combined income of £25k from the state pension will pay no income tax, but a single parent earning £18k and paying rent will?
Have they really done that??
Oh my fucking god.

Also not all welfare spending is the same. Eliminating child poverty is to an extent not just redistribution but an investment in their education, employment, future earnings, tax payments, and propensity to be involved in crime.
Welfare spending is currently 1.2% of GDP *lower* than in 2012-13.
Abolition of two-child cap is best viewed as a correction than an increase.

Is welfare spending ''out of control''?
Total welfare spending in Britain in 2025-26 is estimated to be 10.8 per cent of GDP.
That's just 0.8 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen fallen by 1.2 per cent of GDP since 2012-13⤵️

The UK is fucked, I rather suspect. And it’s all, at its root, the fault of David Cameron.

The large drop in immigration seen in today's ONS data will likely have huge consequences for social care.
The sector has been entirely reliant on care workers from overseas to meet growing demand.

Have a sneaky feeling government have abandoned idea of growth because it’s hard to do, and impossible to do if you’re driving immigration down. They’ve decided that emulating Farage is a bigger vote winner than raising standards of living essentially.

This. There will not be any significant growth under this government.
Fewer workers. Fewer international students. More people leaving.
A "step in the right direction" according to the PM.
Impossible to take PM/govt seriously on growth if they are deliberately reducing it (and making the fiscal position worse) *as a matter of policy*.

Abysmal, mindless, utterly zombified. You can't even call it policymaking because that implies a degree of thought which simply isn't present. Pretty soon they might actually hit Cameron's 'tens of thousands' target and then they'll shit themselves with horror at the consequences.
PM describes net migration of 205k as "a step in the right direction". His govt has no public position on a sustainable level of immigration is, nor any known process to decide what, why & how. Starmer is now implying he wants it significantly lower
