Some do not like Reeves.

Yes it was a gift but Kemi has massively increased in confidence recently and her Commons performance is a huge improvement on a few months ago

[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]

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 are truly disgusting unless you're on benefits or an immigrant.

It's not as bad as I expected.
Only time will tell if it starts to do enough however.

However it's on the surface not that bad an effort at this time.
I expected much worse.

Yes..this used to be the hardest speech for the leader of the opposition cause they have to act on their feet. Allowing a leak fave her the heads up she needed.
