Solidarity and respect to all those who have campaigned long and hard for this cruel policy to be lifted.
We know households with children are disproportionately likely to be in a negative budget, or struggling with heavy debt. This is an important change, long overdue, but warmly welcomed.

Tomorrow the chancellor faces a clear choice: allow millions to fall into crisis, or take meaningful steps: fix council tax, ban bailiffs, tackle energy costs. This budget should be the moment for this.

What can be done?
1. Ban the Bailiffs
People are living in fear of bailiffs for debts they simply can’t afford. A third of people with council tax debt live below the poverty line. Bailiff use has surged 30% in two years. It’s time to ban them from council tax collection, NOW

The Budget Must Address the Household Debt Crisis
The cost-of-living crisis isn’t over. Unemployment and bankruptcies are rising, and more than 10 million people are affected by growing household debt. This budget is a crucial moment for action.

Between 2008–2022, the UK borrowed at the lowest rates in its history. That was a once-in-a-generation chance to invest in social housing, insulation, renewables and public services.

Meanwhile in the UK, the real problem isn’t government debt - it’s political choices. Public spending per person has barely grown in a decade. Poverty remains high. Yet progressive taxation is avoided. Many people are struggling to pay bills. Its not a govt debt crisis, its a household debt crisis

For many lower-income countries, debt is owed to foreign lenders. This means scarce resources flow OUT of the country. On average, they spend 17% of revenue on external debt payments. Some spend over 30%. Angola for example, over 60%.

Yes, the UK’s interest payments have risen. But Britain still borrows at around 4.5% - far below what many lower-income countries face (9–14%). And crucially, the UK borrows in its *own currency*

Ahead of the UK budget, government debt has dominated headlines. Threat of a UK “debt crisis” is used to justify cuts in welfare and public services.
But the story is far more nuanced and the REAL global debt crisis isn’t getting nearly enough attention. @tim-jones6.bsky.social explains

Why debt justice?
Debt has been used for centuries as a tool of exploitation - leading to increased poverty and inequality in the global south.
Debt is used in the UK to punish the poor in a system that is rigged for the rich and wealthy.
This injustice CAN be stopped

The same system of colonial extraction that created the climate crisis and the vastly unequal world we live in today can’t be allowed to drive the response, and push countries deeper into debt.
