The budget didn't bother the powerful.
No windfall tax on banks. Govt subsidy of £23bn+ continues.
No windfall tax on energy companies, £125bn profit since 2020.
Corporate profiteering and subsidies continue. No curbs on corporate welfare.
85,500 have wealth of £2.8 trillion, hardly touched.

The government’s budget is simply managing decline

The right to trial by jury has been a fundamental feature of the British Justice System for over 800 years. Any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom - a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism - must be opposed
🚨Trial by jury is a cornerstone of our democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarianism. We must come together - cross party - to stop any attempt by the government to undermine this fundamental freedom

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.
