Downside: There is no plan and no courage. No attempt to sort the tax system. No strategy for the economy, like the one @johnspringford.bsky.social suggests here getting-out-of-the-hole.uk. Even good policies, like mansion tax, simply fiddle for pennies instead of properly reforming property tax.

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.

For anyone facing #budget anxiety today: yes, as a small business owner, I'm sure it will be disappointing in parts. See "we are living in extraordinarily tough times" cop out etc.
However, keep in mind the media narrative, which seems set on "a Reform win is inevitable in 2029".
It is not.

Sense checking myself before firing off an email to a US client to make sure there's no US specific term for "tumble dryer" (don't ask) and I'm glad Google has my back.
At the very least, it has finally worked out I have a very Welsh sounding name.

Why is the BBC using this article with footballer Jonjo Shelvey as a conduit to promote his (sorry, Jonjo) vastly misinformed views that are just parroting of online far-right conspiracy theories over "London being finished" or "go to London and get mugged or stabbed"?

You'll be able to find it across all the usual music streaming services shortly, though head on over to Bandcamp if you fancy a listen.
