We have to now acknowledge the truth. America is no longer a reliable security partner. Europe needs to take responsibility for its own security. And Britain needs to be part of it. https://t.co/3U5lL9exbD

Still getting over the fact that a lunatic can stand up in front of a crowd and scream about migrants eating cats and dogs and it gets him elected. Maybe I'll never get over it.

Brexit: hammering tax revenue, trade, GDP and growth for years to come…

We are all paying a heavy price for Tory ideology. It perniciously adds to our cost of living and quietly stifles our prosperity.

The brexity rightwing can stop howling about the budget any time they like.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

A "growth budget" for UK? Rejoin the EU's customs Union, renegotiate a bespoke trade deal with 🇪🇺.

Use the billions in growth achieved before the next election to invest in areas that supported Brexit!

[European Movement UK @euromove]

This is what the new government needed to face up to in today's budget.

This is the real headline and they avoided it.

Brexit is the black hole we need to close in the UK economy.

[George Parker @GeorgeWParker]

OBR says productivity still being dragged down by Brexit: "The effects of subdued investment, the energy price shock, and Brexit compound the ongoing weakness." OBR still expects Brexit to cause a 15% drop in "trade intensity" in the long term

[Ian Dunt @IanDunt]

This was, barring wars or pandemics, the most consequential Budget we'll see for years. It made extensive changes in the assumptions of British politics. And it was the single clearest statement we’ve had about what this Labour government is all about https://t.co/gHXHC27WHg

[Freddie @FreddieBailey96]

OBR confirm that the Tories borrowed an astonishing £127 BILLON.

Never ever let the Tories say ‘they are good at managing the economy’ #Budget2024

[Stan Collymore @StanCollymore]

Tories, without any irony at all having the brass neck to lecture anyone about fiscal responsibility is one for the ages.

For the layman, they torched your home, nicked and gave your valuables to their mates, ran off and are now shouting at the Fire Brigade for attempting to putting the fire out.

And STILL nobody arrested for the grand theft of YOUR money by virtue of corrupt contracts given out.

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

Poorest households gain most, wealthiest pay most in the Budget - Treasury impact assessment.

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

"Weak growth in imports and exports over the medium term partly reflect the continuing impact of Brexit, which we expect to reduce the overall trade intensity of the UK economy by 15 per cent in the long term" says the OBR

[Jim Cognito @JimCognito2016]

When young ppl warn they can't afford to buy houses, they're told to cancel Netflix & buy less avocado

When poor ppl say they can't afford to eat, they're criticised for owning mobile phones & buying cigarettes

When well-off people are asked to contribute a bit more?

MELTDOWN!

[sarah murphy @13sarahmurphy]

Brexit “has led to reduced consumer choice, strained business relationships, a tarnished UK business reputation, diminished confidence in border processes, compromised food security and setbacks in achieving our environmental targets”

What an epic fail.

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

I’m not going to retweet Honest Bob Jenrick’s latest desperate grift.

Suffice to say that stoking conspiracy theories about live criminal cases is potentially a contempt of court.

And any politician who saw the summer’s violence and behaves like this is unfit for office.

[sarah murphy @13sarahmurphy]

A Tory (Finkelstein) in a Tory paper warns a Tory wannabe leader…

“Leaving the ECHR… a policy that causes nothing but trouble”

All they’ve learned from Brexit is that they won big on populist lies.
They’ve ignored the part where they then inevitably failed and lost big too.

[European Movement UK @euromove]

Politicians need to take some accountability. It's good to see calls for a review of the damage, but this needs to be taken more seriously.

Brexit has cost the UK greatly, the extent to which is still not clear.

🔴Donald Trump, the BBC and the Real ‘Foreign Interference’ in this Election

Why is the BBC giving so much coverage to a complete non-story about Labour and the Democrats, just because the Republican candidate would like them to, asks @AdamBienkov

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

"I have the most sympathy with the incoming government on this."

Prisoner early release was due to a "Conservative failure" that has left the Labour government with no choice but to "let some out", says former Conservative leader William Hague.
