"The government doesn't have to first find the money before it spends it. It spends the money into existence in the economy and then taxes it back out."
Isn't it refreshing when someone actually does nuance and detail?

Two hard truths from the #UKBudget:
📉 For you, a stealth tax hike: freezing income tax thresholds will drag more earnings into tax, as wages rise with inflation.
📈 For Big Tech, a likely win: swapping UK’s specific Digital Tax for the delayed global deal means big tech giants will be paying less.

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."
Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?
When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Labour has not just lost me as someone who voted for them last year - they’ve pushed me into active opposition with this constant and relentless attack on migrants.
The party of Attlee and Bevan is gone - all we now have left is the party of bending the knee to the likes of Farage and Co.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

This is absolutely horrible and cannot be condoned. Confiscating valuables from people fleeing war is beyond belief, even considering the option is shameful. The current leadership should just quit in shame, go away and be replaced with somebody compassionate and who cares. I did not vote for this.
Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?
