Labour says this is a Spring Statement

Many say it is an Emergency Budget
with Cuts.


Rachel Reeves MP
will be there.

there are going to be far deeper cuts to welfare than were announced last week. Apparently, it wont affect the poor, let's see how that pans out

Yes, many are saying the poor are doomed
with Labour.

I'm hoping to hear they're closing migrant hotels and housing them in tents now the summer's coming, in a cost-cutting measure. But then I'm quite the optimist.

So as far as I can see there was nothing in her Spring Statement that had not already be trailed, apart from the fine tuning of how she is going to squeeze the Pips out of people on PiP.

Is that a good summary, I was getting my hair done so didn't hear her live but I think that is the gist?

[Livia]

The sick and disabled punished.

Illegal immigrants, no change... they'll still be looked after like kings.

Yes, a nice old lady in Burnley
seated at an indoor cafe
said "Get Labour Out"

[Cherie]

So Rachel got her original figures wrong and the OBR estimated her original welfare cuts would bring in 3.5 billion rather than the 5 she estimated so hence the further swinging cuts, as one Labour MP put it, balancing the books on broken backs


I am sure Liam will be along shortly to say this is great as the disabled will be able to try to work...good luck with them getting a job though
