It's a fair point. My points:
1) This is the worst affordability on record. Just 1/3 of people feel comfortable. Less than during austerity.
2) Long-term drivers of low affordability (post-industrial fall in good jobs & lack of housing) mean people don't see a way they can afford a decent future

We've had cost of living crises before which did not lead to today's loss of faith in democracy among so many. We also know this by looking at other countries. There is a far wider story of discontent --->
People are losing faith because they cannot afford the basics 💰
We are facing an affordability crisis because we are dependent on fossil fuels

APPG member @jeevunsandher.bsky.social highlighted that the UK’s dependence on fossil fuels has led to an affordability crisis and asked how our transition away from fossil fuels will tackle the cost of household energy head on.

The affordability crisis is *also* a good jobs crisis
Around 40% of full-time jobs pay less than £35k - the bare minimum needed to support a family
If we want to make life affordable, we also need to (directly) create more good jobs

Just one in three of us felt financially comfortable in 2024 - a record low.
That's lower than during the financial crisis and austerity when half of us felt comfortable.
This is (one reason) there's so much anger. This is what we must fix.

Getting to Net Zero is cheaper than letting the planet burn. Twice as cheap in fact.
If we do nothing, climate change will cost us 15% of global GDP. Getting to Net Zero limits those costs to 7%.

Inflation falling faster than expected: Good News
The bond rate also (unsurprisingly) fell: Also Good News
Because bond rate = investment demand + inflation + political risk

We have the highest energy bills in the G7 because we're dependent on natural gas.
So yes, we're investing in solar, wind, and nuclear to get those prices down.
And yes we're investing to upgrade the grid too.

This Budget is good for growth 💪
We have inherited the worst wages since Napoleon and the worst growth performance out of Covid. There is a huge amount to fix but it's going to get better.
