Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

Nobody will pay more tax until 2028-30 because it's extending the threshold freeze introduced by the Tories.
And if the economy improves it might not happen.

This is really welcome news. Not to be forgotten how much work the more progressive side of Labour had to do to get here.
Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy.
OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty
