@leonardeast4971 I agree she needed to raise money but it was a very Brown budget that only partly addressed the problem. The NI hike was a typical political gotcha to Sunak pre spending all Labour intended tax by dropping employers without funding. + Really bad comms for the other changes. By the way my hospital now has 20 million to remove RAAC.

@dave710 They have already deported 15,000 illegal migrants, funded numerous infrastructure projects to remove RAAC and push our grid away from fossil fuel and all the economic instability that brings. The last government fell because it didn't address the needs of public services crashed the economy and spent 72 billion in 2023 on supporting the energy companies. The current mob are well below my expectations but 100 times better than the Tories and don't mention Reform they are a joke party

@sammic7492 In better shape in what way? In 2023 the Tories gave the energy companies 72 billion in subsidies because they did nothing about the energy crisis or us being tied to gas. Not only did they do nothing but Sunak started cancelling renewable projects and dolled out another 10 billion in Fossil subsidies. I could go on the list of Tory complete fkups is endless way worse than a bit of employer NI in Reeve's soggy centrist budget.

Our economy has been shrinking since we left the single market and we get more inflation the more we diverge with the EU and have to implement and pay for yet more paperwork. Sunak didn't have the money to cut NI in the 1st place

The wealth creators? Every trickle down policy the Tories implemented did squat for the economy bar increase the wealth gap.
