Laugh or cry...
The same Guardian that recklessly torpedoed Corbyn and any budget chances for the poor now lamenting reckless Tory budget for the rich.

Thread: This budget represents a putsch by the undemocratic extreme right wing of the Tory Party...Truss and co have no electoral mandate.

I’m at Green Lane station. Yanno the one with the park and ride. The one where every other train doesn’t stop any more. Irritating.

This is a Bankers’ Budget:

- Scrapping the cap on bonuses
- Slashing tax for the top 1% of earners
- Cutting tax on big businesses' profits

When millions urgently need help with the cost-of-living crisis, the Tories are helping out their super-rich mates.

Seen lots of talk that Britain increasingly resembles an emerging economy today. That’s complete nonsense.

Emerging economies generally have favourable demographics and a young working age population.

I’m no economist, so I wonder if any Tories could explain how the markets going into ‘meltdown’ and sterling hitting its lowest level against the dollar since 1985 is going to help anyone other than the handful of cunts making millions from shorting the pound?

@adelindspectre This is exactly what the Tories said they wanted to impose on Russia with sanctions, cripple a population.

The ERG are imposing sanctions against the UK People.

A. Crime. Against. Humanity,

Be well.

A stamp duty cut is no answer - that money should be going to Councils to build good social homes, a major national asset of bricks & mortar. Where are promised renter protections? We need a rent freeze *now* with a moratorium on evictions & funded package to help with rent debts

I suppose once you've made your millions, and fired people who want you to act accountable over possible racism, and all that stuff, it's not that far to travel and gives you a route to ease your mind.

At the top - taxes cut
At the bottom - benefits cut.

Money doesn’t trickle down, it gets sucked up.

Probably the last person I thought would start pandering to the whole invented "woke" pretence. Try reading amzn.to/3UsI6X7 - the world we live in now is not fixed, accepting shite isn't defensible or necessary, and ffs don't recommend the idiot Peterson.
