Good.
So much of what the media are now complaining about was stuff they made up or told us was from their anonymous sources.
Look at the official words from the government in the run up to the budget and they delivered exactly what they said they were going to.

The OBR is run independently from Government. It literally was somebody else's fault.
You'd think Kemi Badenoch would know that given her own party created it in Government, but apparently not

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

Motherland: A Feminist History of Modern Russia" by @juliaioffe.bsky.social is FANTASTIC.
Best book on gender for 2025.
Some gender books on Russia have been ideologically narrow, but this is superbly researched and extremely readable. Bravo!

Economic and energy resilience requires strengthened state capacity.
The #UKBudget showed progress on investment – but more focus on the implementation of missions like Clean Power is needed to deliver a just, green transition.

Also the Romans literally had a welfare system that included cash transfers for poor children. (And subsidised grain for low income workers...).
There was no state. Who does she think crucified him, an anarchist collective?

Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

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.
