I spoke to @itvanglia.bsky.social about my thoughts on the Budget.
While the rail fare freeze and lifting the 2-child benefit cap are welcome, this is ultimately a botched Budget and a missed opportunity.

A senior member of Reform is going to prison for taking bribes from the Russians.
We need to keep the stench of Russian interference out of our politics.
The Scottish party should now confirm there will be no bags of roubles arriving for them and their colleagues.

The Prime Minister just told me any party leader should want to get to the bottom of this Russian bribery scandal with Reform.
He is the Prime Minister and a party leader. Why isn't he launching a national investigation himself?

End two-child benefit cap, cost £3bn-£3.6bn.
Abolish VAT on domestic fuel, cost £2.5bn.
Increase income tax personal allowance by £1000, cost £8.4bn.
Taxing capital gains at same rate as wages, generates £14bn+ more in NIC.
