It's Neoliberal or death, and this lot don't care how many of us have to die. So much for vote for change. The only thing that changed were the suits, we've still got exactly the same Tory Neoliberal politics as we've had for the previous 14 years. Protect the rich, punish the poor.

Reeves is not being “forced” to make cuts. It’s a political decision. Good god our newspapers suck (with the exception of a few journalists)

We're not allowed to admit that Brexit was a terrible mistake. We're not allowed to admit that neoliberalism was a terrible mistake. Until British politicians are willing to acknowledge reality, we're stuffed.

Just seen a BBC report asking people in an affected clubhouse of disabled and old, not one of them when asked the question said tax the rich. It seems the good old bbc may have had a word before the report was going live. 🥳🥳

Forced to find an extra few billion? I wonder where the vast majority of their voters and those that didn't vote for them think they could find the money? It's a mystery that may never be solved

They were only ever allowed into power because they belong to the corporate establishment and would never think of increasing taxes on their own peers. Nothing they do is a surprise. We live in a world run by the rich and they have co-opted our leftwing movements. Only one thing left to do.

Neoliberal economic cult in a nutshell. Running a complex, dynamic economy with a handful of stupidly simplistic levers based on a conjectural notion that govt spending is always bad. Despite 50 years of evidence that their analysis is wrong, they continue to apply the rules religiously.

Totally disgraceful to punish those who are disabled for being disabled! Tax the richest and the polluting companies making a fortune from disabled people and those suffering from a near austerity budget who are trying to heat their homes or charge essential equipment.

This too will fail. It will fail to produce growth, it will cause an exponential growth in mental illnesses, it will lead to capital flight, it will increase inflation, and then a recession No one will be able to blame it on immigrants gayness religion race culture or any other Heritage Foundation

The policy should have been a 2% tax on the richest and recovery of corrupt covid contracts to support, amongst other things, a programme of ADDITIONAL SUPPORT for the disabled, including retraining, provision of transport to work, and a demand that councils improve social services.

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be cruel. Even if cuts are forced to appease, let's say, big finance, the choices are many and not forced. I'm minded of a salivating Iain Duncan Smith cheering in the Commons when the Cons shoved through the Welfare Reform Act and disability PIP test torturing. 1/2
