So proud of you @RachelReevesMP as the @UKLabour first female Chancellor doing great work dealing with the mess you inherited in the election great work on #BBCLauraK with all the interrupting from laura
In 2022 the Tories increased employer NI to 15 percent and there was no media meltdown. In 2023 they reduced it to 13.8 percent.
Labour have put it back up to 15 percent.
Media are deliberately exaggerating its impact on business.

Rachel Reeves is the first Chancellor in years willing to be interviewed on live TV *after* the announcement of a Budget
The Tories did that trick of being interviewed the Sunday before a Budget where they couldn’t/wouldn’t answer anything

Oh look !
Johnson admits gleefully in his book the £350 million for the NHS figure was a blatant lie but, we read, "it was still a brilliant slogan because it had what they call cut-through"
What an absolute fucking dork. We all lost rights because of this pound-shop charlatan
#c4news What a load of bullshit, a Taylor Swift concert, a football game, a dress....
Boris Johnson charged us for his legal fees, gave his mates 100s of millions in PPE contracts...
We can be pleased that Labour have done some good things since being in power and are an improvement on the Tories…
We can also be bitterly disappointed that they lack the balls to tax the uber rich
Don’t forget who you’re supposed to fight for @UKLabour
We won’t.
After listening to Tom Tugendhat this morning, I can't believe he keeps saying the reason they lost the election is that they didn't deliver for the British people!
They lost because they trashed the country, trashed our public services and threatened to take us out of the ECHR!
The small boat crisis is one engineered by the government's failings
Brexit created the issue, and the backed up asylum system is due to the Conservative government refusing to prosess claimants
Leaving the ECHR would not solve it, but it would risk our own freedoms
For decades Tories & Farage scapegoated the EU for U.K. problems and misled enough British people to vote for Brexit which has made all our problems 10 times worse.
NOW they’re doing this with the ECHR which would lead to absolute carnage.
Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords.
Like if she needs to go.
RT if she has to go.
England has the only privatised Water in Europe, the most water pollution, and the most expensive water.
The UK has the only fully privatised energy, and the most expensive.
England has privatised rail, the slowest, least reliable and of course the most expensive in Europe.
Your mortgage had to go up to DOUBLE HSBC’s profit.
Your petrol had to go up to QUADRUPLE Shell’s profit.
Your gas had to go up to x10 British Gas' profit.
Brexit Britain working to bankrupt you.
Liz Truss knew, The Office for Budget Responsibility had already warned her
But Kwasi Kwarteng and Truss forced it through anyway because it was what their donors wanted
There should be a criminal investigation because it looks like she did it on purpose
GMB TV folks telling us that Tories will be too busy to present a viable opposition so Nigel Farage (5 MPs) will do that job. No mention of Ed Davey and the LibDems (72 seats). ITV doing Farage’s job for him.
@ParisDaguerre There must be a technical term for what we've been through?
8 years of feeling sidelined and ignored. The anxious despair of watching the horror show unfold. The lies, the scandals, the gaslighting & feeling completely powerless to do anything to stop it..
