Holy xxxx that budget is bonkers. Convinced now they are expecting to lose the next election and are now filling their backers pockets. I've never seen such a blatant heist on the lower paid to fill the pockets of the wealthy like this in my life.
The Tories claimed that balancing the books was the reason for imposing the toughest austerity on the poorest and weakest in the UK and cutting the services we all rely on to the bone.
Then they go on to push UK borrowing up to its unsustainable highest at a time when interest rates are on the increase. And for what exactly ?
to cut taxes that hand billions of pounds to the richest in the country on a failed trickle-down policy that's been proved not to work. The markets predictably have been seriously spooked, the pound in freefall.
That policy to cut benefits from part time workers is an absolute low, even for these bastards. Punishing people who are often carers, looking after children or with health issues of their own, by making them carry the can for Labour shortages their own policies (especially brexit) have caused.
Those who voted for this shitshow, particularly in "red wall" Labour seats down south will have to face the consequences of that very soon.

Meanwhile, the economy has still not even started to recover from the COVID fiasco, where public funds were "poured like water" into the grasping hands of anyone able to get on the govt's preference lists. We have seen it all before, but never in such an open and blatant manner. I still have hopes that my kids and grandkids will live in a better world and society than this one. Of course, being resident in Scotland, there is clearly a natural "exit door" available to the Scottish people that will make it happen - a better country, a fairer society and all power and decision-making in our own hands as well as the interests of our people paramount in the new direction where we wanna go.
