@RachelReevesMP Perhaps we should trial an AI chancellor!!

This government will make the UK the best place in the world to start, scale and grow AI companies.

@PeterStefanovi2 Well who’d have thought it!!

BREAKING: Rachel Reeves says that Brexit did 'deep damage' to the UK's economy, equivalent to an 8 per cent hit to GDP She says it has led to higher costs for businesses, higher prices in shops and shrinking markets for exporters 'Brexit did deep damage. Recent independent studies indicate its GDP impact could be as much as 8 per cent. It has meant higher costs for businesses, and therefore higher costs in our shops. It has meant shrinking markets for UK exporters and our strategic industries exposed as protectionist barriers rise worldwide”

@LizWebsterSBF @AnnaClare_ @alexstubb Yes we know!! And we knew before the vote!! Well quite a lot of us did!!

🤩 “Brexit wasn’t just shooting yourself in the foot 👉it was like amputating your leg for no reason.” “A colossal mistake.” Finland’s president @alexstubb in the UK today 👏👏 Saying it like it is ❤️

@CathyMo41926708 @PeterStefanovi2 Clear by 2 %! You wouldn’t change a club constitution on that vote!!

Bollox - Brexit had done good for us and if her government/Tories had implemented fully would have done even better! The EU manipulated the stats to make it appear a fail, when in fact it saved us the constant barrage of money going out of this country straight into the globalists’ pockets! The referendum was clear, WE said “NO” and even more would say it now! We stand to gain NOTHING from further alignment with corruption and LIEbour just pass the buck for making decisions!!!

BREAKING: “We are not burying our head in the sand. We are not immune to the damage that Brexit has caused… where alignment is in our national interest we should align with European rules where that is good for business and where that is good for jobs in Britain” Chancellor Rachel Reeves 👏

@CheekyCommons @PeterStefanovi2 That’s because 17 million, if that’s the correct figure, were wrong!! Besides you should not be changing something as big as that with 52% of the vote. You don’t change a club constitution on that. Ludicrous!!

Over 17 million people voted to leave the EU. Not to “sort of leave.” Not to “align where convenient.” Not to slowly drift back in through the back door. To leave. And yet, since 2016, the political class on all sides has done everything possible to dilute, delay, reinterpret, or quietly reverse that decision. Now we’re told “alignment” is in the national interest. What that really means is rule-taking without representation. No vote. No veto. Just accepting EU rules all over again. Brexit hasn’t “failed.” It’s been managed in a way that ensures it never fully succeeds. That’s not democracy. That’s political reluctance dressed up as pragmatism.

@bphillipsonMP I’ve never understood how this lifts them out of poverty!!

Labour MPs just voted to expand free school meals to half a million more children, lifting 100,000 children out of poverty. The Tories and Reform UK voted against. Only Labour will give children growing up in our country the best start in life.

@MelJStride Whilst I agree, you are not best placed to comment!! Every government seems to say the same then do the opposite!!

Rachel Reeves was warned before the Budget that her tax raid on the betting industry would backfire - but she pressed ahead anyway. She just doesn’t understand that punitive tax rises end up being self-defeating. You can’t tax your way to prosperity. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

@UKLabour I suggest as leader of the opposition you make your points in private. Don’t try to make political points in a war situation like this!! Let’s have a grown up reaction to what’s going on.

Our Armed Forces keep us safe at home and abroad. Yet Kemi Badenoch says our brave RAF pilots are just "hanging around". She must apologise.

@GMB @susannareid100 @LouisaJamesITV Whatever your thoughts on what Trump and America has done and whether you believe Starmer and Britain’s stance is correct or not. Trump is not a decent man, more like a child who stamps his feet when he can’t get his own way! I would not want to work with him or know him!!

Sir Keir Starmer has been criticised by Donald Trump, who said the PM is "no Winston Churchill", after the UK initially refused the use of British airbases in the initial attacks on Iran. @LouisaJamesITV reports.

@UKLabour How can you support working people by continually increasing taxes on those that employ working people!! In the end they will employ less people!! Oh and by the way may of those that employ people also work!!!

Labour is standing up for working people.

@MartinSLewis I’m not sure it’s inside the chancellors bag!! But she has had a go!! 🤨🙈

Chancellor just stood up for the #SpringStatement. As noted yesterday, they say this'll only be macro-economic so outside my bag. There are many great commentators out there who know far more on this than me. So unless there's direct Consumer Finance measures I won't be posting.

@PeterStefanovi2 Trouble is I don’t trust her or Labour!! I didn’t and don’t trust the conservatives!! Can’t agree with reform on a lot of issues and don’t believe they can run the country!! Rock and hard place eh!!

Fiscal headroom has "increased from £21.7bn to £23.6bn", Rachel Reeves tells the Commons "Debt is now set to be lower in every year of the forecast compared to the autumn," the chancellor adds

@rosie_wrighting It’s absolutely ridiculous!!

Bringing down the voting age to 16 will give young people the chance to have a say in what shapes their future and is only right and fair. I was proud to see it pass second reading tonight!

@GreenJennyJones If they are tax exiles and don’t pay tax on this country, then surely they should be charged for anything including repatriation and NHS? Or maybe I am wrong, seems fare though. Although under Labour you can’t blame businesses for moving abroad!! So there is another argument!

I agree w Ed Davey! 👇👇👇

@EstherMcVey1 They don’t care about children if they think their parents have money!!

Alderley Edge School for Girls in my constituency has announced its closure blaming increased costs - fundamentally Labour’s VAT on school fees. Here I am asking what the government is going to do to minimise the disruption to these pupils’ education as this school closure is due to their vindictive, class warfare policies.

@IsabelOakeshott @TheGeorgePu @DeborahMeaden Seem a bit harsh that!!

@TheGeorgePu @DeborahMeaden Uh, you can simply drive out, you muppet 🙄🤣

No amount of money can get you a flight out of Dubai right now. Or Doha. Or Bahrain. Or Kuwait. The richest cities on earth - and you can't leave. Money buys you options. It doesn't buy you exits. The world changed overnight. Again.

@gorbalsgoebbels There is no wheel spin towards the working man, as you put it, as there will be no net gain. Also the working man is paying for private education!! That’s what these Labour 🤡 can’t see!!

Actually starting to think it’s the tax on private schools which has pissed off the Oxbridge elite and our media class. They’ve had it good for centuries. The wheel spins towards the working man when Labour is in power. And the rich do not like it.

@PeterStefanovi2 No need to over analyse correct. Labour are having a shocker.
