Reeves’ Budget Dread

I’ve listened to the budget from Rachel Reeves today and can’t help a feeling of dread.
what she’s produced as her budget compared to the Labour Party manifesto and it’s like night and day.

Why do politicians treat us as idiots? Why can’t they tell the truth? And why don’t they appear to give a sh#t about their lack of honesty? Or AIBU?

Like I said in the other thread, I'd rather tax rises than £300 per month on my mortgage interest payments (thank you Kwasi Kwarteng)

Were you listening to the budget?

I voted labour, i read the manifesto. I'm a higher earner & i'll be impacted by the capital gains tax. this was what i was expecting, I'm ok with it.

Can you rewrite your first paragraph in English?

What are you a bot? It was a very good budget and I actually feel hopeful now for the first time in years!
