Watching all the brickbats being thrown to pull this Govt off course shows quite how desperate the MSM and opposition are that they do not succeed in reducing the inequality in this Country. I donāt agree with everything but they are on balance the best chance this Country has.

The Budget, Summarised In One Line: The better off pay a bit more but not too much more, the less well off receive a higher proportion, making a bigger impact, and all the 'predictions' from the media were bullshit.

Please listen to front line Judges, criminal barristers & solicitors across the E. Mids Slashing trial by jury will NOT cut the backlog. Happy to discuss @LilianGreenwood @HFalconerMP @RobertJenrick @leicesterliz @bbcemt @ITVCentral @jameswnaish @aliciakearns Et al!
āIt wonāt cut the backlog. You can be sure of that.ā The governmentās plan to scrap jury trials in an effort to reduce the backlog in the courts āis for the birdsā, says barrister and former MP @Anna_Soubry.

BBC describing Zarah Sultana as "Far-Left." But the BBC do not use the term "Far-Right" for Nigel Farage. Subtle and clever form of manipulation.

The savage assault on Reeves today from our heroically impartial BBC is genuinely shocking. As far as I can see : The markets are happy The Backbenchers are happy The people arenāt rioting This outrage is confected and engineered to topple Reeves and Starmer. Criminal IMO

@Acyn No follow up - HernĆ”ndez was extradited and convicted by a JURY in the U.S. Many departments of law enforcement had worked for at least 10 years gathering EVIDENCE for the prosecution. No respectā¼ļø Part of HernĆ”ndez' defense was claiming he was set up. The jury wasn't persuaded.

Jews for Palestine Ireland fully support the campaign to rename Herzog park so that it no longer honours a man who gladly took part in a large scale ethnic cleansing.

The new council tax bands will affect fewer than 1% of properties. Not sure this qualifies as āMiddleā England.

Civilization depends on functioning ecosystems. Those are disappearing quickly. Protecting the systems we depend on isnāt āthrottling civilization.ā Itās preventing the collapse of the foundation it sits on.
@Race2Extinct We cannot make the planet a zoological preserve where we harvest no wood, mine no coal, and throttle civilization and raise energy costs 100x whilst leaving oil and coal and methane in the ground.

Let @Tesco know this BS has consequences - Iām stopping shopping there and switching to @coopuk who not only support local farmers and cooperatives but also divest from genocide! We have alternatives!
Tesco has suspended one of its workers after they refused to handle goods made in Israel, sparking protests by trade unionists and pro-Palestine activists, plus a petition against the supermarket chain. Protesters waved Palestine flags and chanted āshame on Tescoā outside one

This is what they're trying to hide from you. A well received budget.

Surely weāve passed the point of taking Israelās claims at face value in the name of āimpartialityā? Evidence of its crimes is constantly piling up, so why is it allowed to muddy the waters and mark its own homework? Would Russian claims be given the same treatment?

.@faizashaheen is right, we can't rely on private property developers & house builders to solve the housing crisis (not least because they profit hugely from it)

Thereās a difference between scrutiny and sneering, and Kemi Badenoch set the tone for the pile-on. Itās not accountability itās performative hostility. Rachel Reeves deserves questions, not the school-mistress routine theyāre all imitating #bbclaurak
