I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

I've been doing my very best to ignore speculation and leaks about the damned thing.
I don't think we should know even one thing about the Budget until the chancellor gets to the despatch box on the day, surprise us

These Brexit farmers have very confused ideas about reaping and sowing. No wonder they're struggling.
Not quite sure what the independent MP for Hackney has done to cause ire to farmers, but you do you.

When can you declare an emergency over?
The 5p “emergency” petrol tax cut was introduced in March 2022, to offset a spike in prices
They are now about 30p down on that month, & about 50p down on the absolute peak

It's a real mystery why we're seemingly stuck in a permanent low-growth, high inflation, broken-public-services doom-loop.
The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
