Income tax thresholds should be higher, not frozen - this is a regressive tax increase, hitting lower earners most - we take money from people on minimum wage and then give them 'in work benefits' - there’s no sense in that.

Exasperating to the last Tory Government - and a certain campaigning magistrate - that juries kept acquitting peaceful protestors against planetary destruction. What better way to solve that problem than by abolishing juries - who knows what they might do otherwise to eg Palestine Action protestors.

Brexit has smashed a *massive* hole in our economy
🫣 Up to £90bn a year in lost tax revenues
😬 UK’s GDP 6-8% smaller
😮 Equating to between £2,700 and £3,700 *per person*
No wonder Reeves is struggling to make the sums add up

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population.
How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich?
They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:
A 6–8% hit to GDP
That's £180bn-£240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Sheer cruelty on display in the Home Secretary's proposed new asylum laws, which could see refugee families with children suddenly uprooted and deported after spending years rebuilding their lives in Britain. Shameful capitulation to Reform's agenda at the expense of the most vulnerable.
