I think this speech needs sharing again.
Since the PM said this, there have been Tories who have come out & said the same as Reform: that they want to see people with a legal right to be in the UK get deported.
Call it out and stand up for these people - our friends, neighbours and key workers.

There was absolutely NOTHING in the Chancellors press conference to suggest income tax was going up.
That was the media.
Again.
Going into it believing it was going up a coming out of it repeating the claim.
I never thought it was going up before & didn't think it after.

Your analogy about the rain is exactly how many of us feel about the media & Labour.
And countless people are being inundated with SO much fake news telling what Labour are all about.

This is the clip the Chancellor put out after her press conference.
It is therefore obvious this was the key message she wanted people to take away.
Where in this message do we get the idea of income tax rises?

Here is a short message the Chancellor wants you to take away from her speech today, rather than the nonsense put out by the media.
"A budget that protects the NHS, reduces our debt and improves the cost of living.
A budget that puts your priorities first.
An economy that works for everyone."

After years of Tory failure to sort out our prisons Labour are fixing them.
They have taken urgent action to sort out the prison places crisis and are investing in 14k additional places to ensure we don't face it again.
And here we see work has started on a 1,700 capacity prison in Leicestershire!

So many of you predicted this.
The media make a claim about rising income tax in budget to break the manifesto promise.
Then you said the media would claim it is not going to happen & the gov has u-turned due to pressure.
You predicted it & now it's happened.
We need to ignore media speculation!
