You can’t end 40 years of neoliberalism without properly taxing the super-rich. So where was the wealth tax in yesterday's budget, Chancellor?

Absolutely shocking. @HaringeyLabour-run Haringey Council received the regulator’s lowest rating, with nearly 4,000 overdue fire safety actions, including 1,400+ high-risk cases. Those responsible for these failures must be held accountable.

🚨 BREAKING: Despite rising rents, the government has chosen not to end the freeze on housing support in today’s #Budget2026. For years, rents have continued to rise but support hasn’t. As a result,Β too many people are being forced to decide between paying the rent and putting food on the table. While the government's decision to provide more support with energy billsΒ is positive,Β keeping housing support frozen means many will still struggle to afford the essentials. The government wants to end the need for emergency food. It won't achieve that while housing support remains frozen.

Healey says, "We will bring down the welfare bill and do it in a labour way" "The Labour way" seems to be demonising disabled people who can't work #Budget2026

Someone more intelligent than me please explain how the UK can be 3 trillion in debt, completely on our arse but still find 10 billion to fund a war that has fuck all to do with us ?

This budget was a betrayal of our future; the Labour government chose protecting corporate profits over people and planet.

Healey’s Budget Disaster. This was a terrible budget, terribly presented, that did precisely nothing of consequence for almost anyone. So what are Healey and Burnham up to, other than not a lot? youtu.be/r4p9EY_JHvI?si=NdHX…

The budget is Burnham in a nutshell. Disguised Β£42 billion a year real terms income tax increase from freezing personal thresholds. Headline grabbing Β£2.6 billion giveaway of Β£100 per household. Β£10 billion to Ukraine.

The country is three trillion pounds in debt. We’re giving Β£10 billion to Ukraine. By any objective standard, this is insanity.

I asked Grok how many nurses could be funded by yet another Β£10billion being sent to fund the Ukraine war. This is quite staggering. #NoWar
Around 180,000–220,000 full-time nurses. A newly qualified Band 5 nurse costs the NHS roughly Β£44,000 a year in total paybill (basic Β£32,073 plus employer NI, 23.7% pension and levy). Average experienced nurses run closer to Β£50–55k. Β£10bn divided by those figures gives the range.

Labour thinks life doesn't cost as much for young people. That must be why they've broken their pledge to remove the lower minimum wage for under 21s.

RT @greenprogressve: Even Burnham’s own Labour Party faction says today’s budget has β€œmissed opportunities”. Nothing on taxing wealth, or…
