They have to otherwise…….Reform ? 😱
I’m used to reading rubbish on here. But now I’m reading outright lies.
The anger around this budget, Reeves and Starmer is coming out of everyone who can influence a thought. Radio, TV, media.
I’m not going to let it go without a challenge.
I want Labour to succeed.

Strivers v Shirkers! Wouldn’t expect anything less vile and divisive from these rags.
The predictable crushing uniformity of the coverage of this Budget tells you an awful lot about the priorities of those papers, and also why there's actually quite a lot to praise in it bylinetimes.com/2025/11/26/t...

Resolution Foundation analysis of the Chancellor's Budget:
Typical families gain approximately £230 from energy bill support, fuel duty & rail fare measures.
Scrapping two-child benefit limit helps over half a million families by an average of £5,000.
The Budget is progressive overall, RF finds.

Minimum wage is to rise at above inflation rates from next April.
The standard rate will rise 4.1%, 8.5% for the 18-20 age group & 6% for 16-17.
This is a further step towards equalising the rates.
Inflation is currently 3.6% and is expected to fall further in the coming months...
