The same MSM widely blowing smoke up Farage’s arse are precisely the same ones coming for Labour with everything they’ve got - because this is the most progressive government we’ve had in generations. And they are delivering. This terrifies the right: With. Everything. They’ve. Got.

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.

Somehow this got missed off the "Benefit Street" front pages today
70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.
