Nearly 200,000 families will be pushed into poverty or deeper poverty due to govt decision not to end the freeze on housing benefits.
Budget increased tax on landlords, but no rent controls. Expect landlords to hike rents.
Poverty will increase.

Cost of living protests spread to Germany.
Demonstrations have rocked Italy, Spain, Portugal, Albania and France.
Real problem is inequalities, profiteering.
Govts appeasing corporations and the super-rich, neglecting the masses.
The UK is no different

And around Β£1bn of the Β£1.7bn spent on PPE from VIP suppliers was wasted on supplies later deemed unfit to use.
This is a huge scandal.

Laura Kuenssberg appears on the front pages of The Mail and the Daily Star. A BBC journalist should never become the story.
Time for Matt Brittin and Rachel Jupp to exert their authority and sack her.

As always, Keir is the first to recognise others, rather than concentrate on himself. Starmer and Sunak had a good relationship, despite obvious political difference. Keir got more respect from an ex Tory PM than he did much of his own party. Let that sink in.

This topsy turvy world puts liars and cheats in charge. Causing havoc and headlines.
Whilst decent men and women just donβt cut it.
This is true internationally and domestically.
I will never, ever understand it.

How the hell has a convicted fraudster made her way from being (rightfully) sacked in government to practically becoming deputy PM. The next PMQs writes itself.

Iβm full of admiration for Carney, Zelenskyy, Tusk, Magyar. Theyβre fearless, decisive and accomplished Leaders. I watch as they put country first and champion their citizens.
If only we still had one.

π¬π§ Rachel Reeves says Brexit has made Britain poorer, weaker and less secure.
Do you agree?

B) NO β

Brexit is the greatest betrayal of Britain in modern history. It weakens our economy. It is a geopolitical disaster, and it robs the British people of European citizenship and the right to live, work, study and retire across 30 EEA countries. Bulgarians have more rights in Europe than we do. Brexit betrays Britain. It must be ended.
Here's a new tag which I think we should use β #BBB Brexit Betrays Britain β at Brighton, England
