Tory MPs are out in force today blaming Labour for the state of the economy they inherited 13 years ago!

Let us all remind them of that #kamiKwasi "mini" budget that pilled hundreds of pounds onto our mortgages overnight

They know nothing about economics

Amidst the childcare noise in the #BudgetDay2023, we learn that those claiming benefits are going to face automated sanctions. Let’s be clear: there’s no evidence that sanctions work - instead, they push people into debt, or leave people even more stressed than they were already. https://twitter.com/tonywilsonies/status/1635949654561943557

"The number that really stands out is that there is going to be a 6% drop in people's disposable income. Taking us back to values we have not seen since the 1950s."

#Hunt: "Other parties run out of money ..."

A state cannot run out of its own currency, as long as they have monetary sovereignty.

That is to say, a government can no more run out of money than a football stadium can run out of goals scored.

I do wish he would stop coming out with this claptrap. 🙄

#Hunt: "I gently remind the parties opposite that 90% of all solar installation was done under a Conservative government."

17 Dec 2015 — The government decided to cut subsidies to householders installing rooftop solar panels by 65%

So, yes he's right, the installation was done, BUT it was done by and for the benefit of private companies.

Did you notice your personal fuel bills go down?

Can you afford your own solar panels now?

"Sanctions will be applied more rigorously to those who fail to meet strict work-search requirements or refuse to take up a reasonable job offer"

"Get in the fields and harvest the beetroot, you shysters!"

#Hunt believes stability is a large elephant that refuses to move anywhere no matter the incentive.

Jeremy Hunt has decided to focus on the ‘economically inactive’ as a key component of his (and the Government’s) strategy to respond to the skills shortage in the UK. While there are a range of reasons why people are not looking for work, a significant proportion report themselves to be suffering from long-term health conditions.

Free childcare for <3 year olds not being introduced until 2024 (& then only 15 hours).

So no extra free pre-school childcare for parents of current two year olds & none for parents of younger children for at least a year.

They never fail to disappoint do they?

It's not a 'pay rise' if it's lower than inflation.
