Rachel Reeves has taxed those who can and lessened the burden on those that can’t and a trust debate from a woman who left her kids on their own so they could get pissed.

Pull the other one.

Different Kate McCann. This is the one from Times Radio. Still a cunt, mind.

Changed it, thanks.

Wasn’t eg the new taxes on gambling a tax reform? As many of us now see it, gambling now pays an amount of tax that goes some way to paying for the cost on society. Or the change to business rates? Or the extra tax on very expensive homes? Or taking some of the cost of greening the grid off bills?

Seems like there was quite a lot for the media to get their teeth into if they were interested in tax reform. They aren’t though. They wanted Reeves out amid market chaos and backbench anger.

BTL Bluesky doesn't get this.

Credit to a prominent Green here. As an aside, she didn't vote for Polanski, and may not be over-impressed with some of his stuff.

And here's why Reeves is being treated like this. (This account is another Warren, but it does reproduce useful stuff, as here)

This is usually the time when someone's discovered something disastrous in the Budget that has to be changed. In the apparent absence thereof, here we are, 5 days after the Budget. Rubbish about Reeves is apparently being repeated regularly on BBC 6 Music news.

"Ministers"? What even is the story here? That they wouldn't have agreed to some of the spending limits if they'd "known"? How much difference would "things are pretty bad and I need headroom, didn't have enough before" have made? That wouldn't have been any sort of misrepresentation. Things are pretty bad, we're in a hole.
