The Tory Propaganda Machine thunders into action. What a fantastic budget! Record tax cuts. We’ve turned the corner! Everything is going to be rosy now!
The reality is somewhat different.
They’ve plundered the already mangled public services to give a tax bribe for the election. Reducing the National Insurance by 2p doesn’t make up for freezing the taxation levels.
Taxation is still going to be the highest in history!!
They’ve retained the triple lock for pensioners but that won’t cover the increase in fuel bills and there’s no more help through the winter like last year. The increase won’t even come in until April – so do the decent thing and freeze, starve and die!! Just like they wanted you to do in covid!!
This is a budget for growth! BOLLOCKS!!
The future economic outlook is dire!! Growth is stagnant.
We’re looking at years more austerity and a worsening cost of living crisis!! But the worst won’t kick in until after the election! What a mess they’ve made of the country. Nothing is working. Everything is broken. It’s only the rich Tories who are waltzing off with millions!!
You wouldn’t think that from the headlines, would you?
