BBC News Text:
[An EU levy on energy set to take effect
next year could hit UK businesses,
jobs and economic growth, according to the i.
The tax is designed to encourage
greener production over carbon-intensive methods,
but the paper says exporters fear
that they could be left facing a bill of
up to £800m in carbon tax payments.

The i says the government is seeking
an exemption to the charge which could
also increase energy bills for families.]

The minimum wage is going up which means small businesses will have to reduce staff. Meanwhile a couple who have chosen to have six kids will get an extra £14,000 a year of taxpayers' money. We're also paying billions in benefits to foreign claimants, that's without migrant hotels etc to illegals. This budget will hammer the final nail into Labour's coffin.

BBC

[Chancellor Rachel Reeves has delivered
her Budget after the details were released early
by mistake
Income tax thresholds will be frozen
until April 2031 - a year longer than
expected - meaning more people will
pay higher rates as their pay increases

There will also be new taxes on homes worth
more than £2m and £5m; a mileage charge
e for electric vehicles;
tax on pension contributions above £2,000;
and changes to Isa rules.

Meanwhile, the two-child cap on
means-tested benefits will be lifted]

[arista]

BBC:

[It has taken the markets a while to
decide whether they like the budget or not - but the
response now seems to be solidly positive.

The pound went up and government borrowing costs
went down when the OBR's document
appeared online early, by mistake - both signs
that the Budget was going down well.

That went into reverse around 12:00 - but as
traders digested their lunches and the
full details of the chancellor's speech,
sentiment began to improve.

By 15:15, the effective interest rate on
the benchmark government bond was
down about 0.05 percentage points
from the moment the OBR document
first emerged - indicating increased faith
in the state of the UK's public finances.

The pound was up around half a cent
against the dollar.]

labour basically lied about the state of the economy. It isn't nearly as bad as they were making it out to be. They have now raised taxes unnecessarily to fund their pet projects and stop a revolt from the left wing of the party. Yet again, the public have been stitched up

I feel like this is a very difficult thing for her to survive if this catches on, even a lot of the more left wing and liberal journalists are being very critical

It might be that it doesn't cut through with the public and she can ride it out but we'll see. People don't like being lied to

[bots]

she came out at least twice in the last week or so and heavily implied that we were in a bigger hole than we actually were. This allowed her to raise taxes and placate the left wing of the party. It's a disgrace, but Keir wont fire her
