Paul Johnson, on farmers being impacted by inheritance tax change: “The complaints are massively overdone. This affects a very small number of farms each year. They’re still going to be better treated than anyone else in terms of inheritance tax”

The budget cost Sunak a LOT of money today...

Capital Gains Tax UP (his tax return shows majority of his "income" from capital gain

Halting offshore trusts to avoid inheritance tax

Stopping non-dom tax status (wife avoided £20 million in tax as non-dom)

Cue California

Oh yes and the private jet thing....funny to watch but he won't even know he's paying it....at least Starmer CANCELLED the £40 million new helicopter Sunak had ordered us to pay for him to use!!

I haven’t changed my mind on Kamala Harris winning comfortably. And I’m looking forward to the elaborate explanations from the polling companies on why they failed to predict the result.

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]

I suspect the right wing rags are digging out every negative superlative they can. They would have done whatever @RachelReevesMP said. For me the best thing about the budget was that it was big and it was bold and it set the framework for economic and political debate for the rest of this Parliament and beyond. It was a very Labour Budget and given the country voted for a Labour government I don’t see much of a problem in that!

Not feeling happy about the I’ll thought actions of the occupants of Downing Street this morning .....a failure of leadership & definition of why all politicians & their ambitions are not the same .....this decision will have lasting consequences at home and abroad .....

[Douglas Alexander @D_G_Alexander]

I yearn for a politics that’s about building things more than breaking things, and more about weaving us together than tearing us apart.

We owe workers who have died at work – and those who continue to risk their lives during the coronavirus pandemic – a vision of a better future.

Join me in observing a minute’s silence at 11am today to remember those who have lost their lives.
