You may need a rizla paper to measure the distance between Labour and Conservatives on certain rights based issues right now, and there are plenty of things to criticise, but this is definitely not a "Tory budget" as I have seen some people claim. Finally ending the two child cap is definitely good.

Why do we need to hear from Badenoch?
All she does is attack while making out this budget should be Rachel Reeves last.
How can she is even comment when her own party destroyed the economy via Liz Truss, completely failed with Covid & Brexit. The list goes on…

I work for a well known chain of DIY shops, and sold Katie Hopkins an awful lawnmower. It happened around a fortnight before she declared herself bankrupt, so I like to think that I was the final nail in her financial coffin.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
