Anyone watching the Budget 2024?

[LadyofRutshire]

I couldn't find a thread on today's budget. Anyone watching live?

Yes!!!...waiting in anticipation!

I'm going to as well.

I can't face all the heckling she'll receive to be honest ( or the negative stance on it from a lot of our press / media)
History in the making though

I don't think there's anything more galling than watching the house brayng and laughing right before a budget we know is going to hammer lots of people.

I am so nervous about this. I don't have a good feeling at all. Hopefully things won't be as bad as Labour has made out it will be.

Here we go!

Yes, PM Questions regardless of who is in always does my head with how much time is wasted with all the booing and lame jokes.

Hi just looking for a thread. I'm dreading it. Decent income, high outgoings, disabled adult child

Yep. Here I am.
Let the circus begin.

I am here too.

Watching here .

"Watching" on the BBC news app via Picture in Picture so I can MN at the same time.

Historic moment, first female chancellor 👏 reminded me of Kamala Harris speech when she became VP.

Yes, planned my lunchbreak in time for the budget especially.

Sadly turned on TV and I agree I can't watch it due to the childishness and 'ooh look labour are going fix everything'...by taxing the shit out of everyone and making middle income people poor and unemployable by companies that will offshore everything now

I’m currently hiding all the family money in the mattress.

yes although I have to leave for work 1.15pm so hopefully most will be revealed by then!

🤣

Load of baloney so far, just laying the groundwork so she can be excused for fleecing us.

Watching here too.

👏

Me! I’m so worried. I’ve noticed a downturn in new business at work and the job market has halted. It reminds me of 2011ish!

That's what I was thinking @Houseplanter Rishi on his phone keeps swiping right

Criminals not punished?! Somewhat ironic with their early release
Wish she'd get on with it instead of all this blame and posturing

Come on get on with it now

I wish they'd just announce this just as a list of bullet points. The faffing around (at every budget, not just this one) is tedious.
