If you look at the ridiculous case studies they dredged up & the desperate attempts to hang Reeves for ‘lying’ about the rationale behind a policy she *did not introduce*, you might work out why right-wing media is straining *not* to talk about the finer detail of her (unremarkable) budget.

The Co-op is backing the government, supporting the people in our country and our farming industry.

In news totally ignored by all major news outlets the Co-op has said "Today’s Budget provides the clarity & certainty that small shops and local communities have been waiting for".

So to summarize, your image is packed with mistakes, uses an exploitative tech, fails to communicate a clear message, displays your ignorance, insults the people of that county, makes you look like environmental vandals and fails to describe your key demographic.

This is why you pay a designer. 7/7

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.

I am so fed up of the anxiety raising media style reporting these days. Susanna Reid who I used to rate is the worst culprit. Can we get back to good honest factual reporting on items which matter please.

Whilst I don’t agree with some of the things the BBC do, I don’t want to lose it. It does a lot of good work as well as some stupid things. But at the end of the day it is our BBC, no one else’s

🤣 Badenoch refers to Reeves speech as a “waffle bomb” Rich coming from someone who constantly waffles!! But what a silly word for the leader is the opposition to use!! Rigby doing a good job at challenging her.

Good speech by Reeves, nice to hear explanations - now waiting for the only takeaway by the media and opposition to be “income tax”.

The perfect answer to the question - what if people with money leave to avoid tax - tax them on the way out. More importantly - does this mean some kind of wealth tax is coming in the budget - I mean you don’t need an exit tax if you don’t have a wealth tax….do you?

Oh, look at this - the letting agents apologise for NOT applying for the rental license & say Rachel Reeves would have been under the impression the license HAD been applied for.

Can we have the apologies now from everyone who have been absolutely obnoxious today in their handling of the story?

Whoa! I missed this!

Retail sales rose by 0.5% in Sept but were expected to shrink by 0.2%.

That is 0.7 points better than expected!

It's the 4th month in a row they have increased and are now the highest since July 2022.

Growing retail sales are positive & suggest economic growth is likely.
Retail sales the highest in three years in a surprise to economists
Computer and telecommunications retailers did well as the iPhone 17 launched in the month.
