With the amount of promises Reeves has broken who’d believe her if she did rule it out?
If anything that’d make me think it’s more likely to happen.

Tbf we can’t discount that she did all her tax cuts at the same time as announcing a policy to cap energy bills that was estimated at £120b+. If she’d done it over a period of time instead of all at once who knows what might have happened🤷♂️

You do know that this is the market saying we can pay our debts, not that the Budget will improve things for working people?
I like how you say Reeves or Truss as if their Budgets are the only two possible Budgets a chancellor could ever give and no other options exist

I’m not even a Tory but okay.
I asked for some positive metrics and you said growth (which is down from when she took over) and improved outcomes for workers (whose disposable income growth is slashed).
Sounds like someone’s got a bit touchy when some economic reality is presented

You can have all the wage growth you want but if real household disposable income growth is slashed from 3% pa to 0.25% pa I don’t think you can say you’re a successful chancellor in any sense of the word

Even though growth has been revised up, it’s still down on before she took over. Plus the OBR has downgraded their growth forecasts for the rest of this parliament.
Also the OBR has massively slashed its estimates for growth in real household income from 3% to 0.25% how does that benefit workers?

If raising taxes on working people and slashing growth in living standards is your idea of a great Budget, I’d hate to see what a bad one looks like

Yes they have, “Real GDP is forecast to grow by 1.5 per cent on average over the forecast, 0.3 percentage points slower than we projected in March, due to lower underlying productivity growth” direct from the OBR report

Also is always funny when people encounter someone who doesn’t think like them and goes ‘well they clearly haven’t done enough research’ as opposed to having done the research and just fundamentally disagreeing. If only I’d done more research everyone would think like you I’m sure 😉
