Bytes Europe · UK chancellor will double down despite growing opposition – POLITICOFurthermore, in an unwanted backdrop to Wednesday’s upcoming statement, the U.K.’s GDP fell by 0.1 percent in January, down from a rise of 0.4 percent in December. And government officials expect the Office for Budget Responsibility to downgrade its forecast of 2 percent growth this year to around 1 percent. This means financial markets are watching Reeves closely. The wobble that saw government borrowing costs rise in January (before falling back down) was a sign the chancellor still has to prove her mettle.

Imagine you have a very small house that's in poor condition because previous owners neglected maintenance. Things barely work, bits are crumbling but the front paint job is astoundingly good and there's a new fancy fence and half-made jacuzzi. You have a budget. You opt to fix the roof and windows first, of course you do. Then walls, floors, electric, plumbing etc. You have to work 2hrs extra a week to pay for this AND do the work. Not a brilliant analogy but.. #UKbudget

"Rachel Reeves extends the freeze on Inheritance Tax thresholds. She closes a Tory loophole. She gives 100% relief to businesses up to £1million, & 50% over it, protecting family farms etc.
Seems like the #Disinformation we've been subjected to since July was all...Disinformation!" posted by Bryan Smith. A voice I trust. #UKbudget

Sunak: “So can I ask the Prime Minister to ensure that the Coast to Coast (Walk) does indeed become Britain’s greatest National Trail, and in preparation for my return to the back benches, would he meet with me to discuss it?”

Starmer: “I thought he was about to ask me to join him on the walk, but certainly I will meet him."
