I have little hope they will change anything of significance. I'm expecting to hear the phrase "difficult decisions" trotted out on a regular basis in the next few days

Labour doesn't do rapid. Everything has to be vetted by dozens of corporate think-tanks and the Zionist lobby first.

“Eighteen years” is not just mood music; it sets the burden of proof. Burnham needs one dated household receipt—real wages, rent, or service access—so “getting worse” becomes auditable.

Reform’s budget is pure fantasy.

The UK is toast.

I think we need to take a leaf out of France's book. General Strike til they stop punching down and actually help people.

The obvious exception is the combined wealth of Britain’s billionaires. 2005: £201 billion. 2025: £655 billion. Figures in 2025 prices. Source, Equity Trust, Billionaire Britain 2025.

Tomorrow’s budget will be a tale of what could and should have been . The Burnham bores will spew rhetoric but there will be little action or improvement

They need to realise neoliberal economics have had their day. Extraction of the UK's assets and wealth needs to end. It's time the government started delivering a politics and economics of care. We need to start seeing and feeling real positive change. Failure to do so doesn't bear thinking about.
