Here’s the definitive Budget feedback from the British public: yougov.co.uk/politics/art...
By are margin of 48% - 21%, Brits view the Budget as “unfair”.

The last 3 months of political journo hype and cabinet leaks has made this budget far more interesting then it actually was and tbh we should sack a lot of political journos and people in cabinet willing to leak to them

Whatever else this government do (and there's plenty of issues with this budget) ministers will always be able to point to this as an incredible important contribution to the country's future. Almost half a million kids taken out of poverty.
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
