    RT @meadwaj: #Budget2026: lots of small measures but nothing that seriously addresses the scale of the cost of living crisis, now set to worsen sharply over the next year. Banks, making extraordinary profits in the last few years will be breathing a sigh of relief that they got off so lightly

    RT @LindaMo5328: I’m fed up of Westminster treating us like fools. £45 a year off gas but it’s being added on to unit prices Plus price rise in January adding potentially £200 a year. It’s a big con which Government think we can’t see.

    it's because if you criticise it, you sound like a sourpuss. they are trying to shield themselves from challenge.

    Genuinely struggling to understand the optics and political strategy of announcing policies that will save households £1-£2 per week. You might as well not bother. It’s not even a small win. In fact it probably angers people more than it appeases them. #Budget2026

    RT @justjargons: Police do not prevent crime; they respond to it. Crime is prevented by higher wages, guaranteed health care, food security, high-quality child care, housing, good schools, and addiction treatment.

    RT @narindertweets: Gas standing charges to be "scrapped"? The cost doesn't vanish?? It moves into unit rates. Low users gain, everyone else pays more And bills are forecast to rise again in January anyway?!?! Sorry..can someone explain how this helps households breath a little?

    RT @robrousseau: I'm just glad I don't live in a dictatorship but a free democracy where every few years I can vote for a different banker or lawyer or landlord that represents the vast network of powerful corporate interests that controls every aspect of my life from cradle to grave

    RT @ZackPolanski: Today’s budget looks like being worse for our future and the young than even anything Starmer came up with. A budget based on approval of mass new oil drilling is a betrayal of our future.

    EXCL: The giant Rosebank oilfield can be approved without breaching the UK’s emission targets, according to government insiders, in a boost to those in the cabinet who are pushing for it to be given the go-ahead. Sources also say the Treasury has already accounted for billions of pounds’ worth of tax revenue from Rosebank and so would be faced with a shortfall should it be rejected. By @kiranstacey & me

    I have been called anti-Semitic and ableist slurs, compared to a serial killer, and people online have said my address should be leaked. If you were ever wondering what it's like to be a left wing woman in politics just trying to hold the government to account.

    RT @anon_opin: Nearly half of people who apply for PIP are in work and use the funds to enable themselves to stay in work. Cutting PIP will add to the welfare budget as those people will no longer be able to stay in the work force.

    RT @JonWiltshire_: I've been revisiting @UKLabour's 2024 manifesto, and some of the commitments are extraordinary given where we are today... - Defend the international rule of law. - Uphold international law in Gaza. - Recognise Palestinian statehood as an inalienable right. - Reject new oil and gas exploration because it worsens the climate crisis. These weren't demands from protesters. THEY WERE LABOUR'S OWN PROMISES! The government shouldn't need reminding what the principles are. It already wrote them down and commited to them! The question is why those principles become negotiable the moment defending them carries a political cost. @andyburnham @ZackPolanski
