Glad to hear Local Housing Allowance uplifted to 30th percentile of local rents. This must now be springboard to build zero-carbon council homes, help tackle homelessness & deliver mass home insulation programme

Hunt on a different planet to the rest of us – his chirpy cheeriness & braying from Tory backbenchers is utterly misplaced. Cost of living scandal still here, inflation still highest in G7, prices still going up, constituents still suffering from 13 years of cuts

Chancellor confirms £4.5bn for manufacturing & green energy.
But no ££ until 2025 and emphasis on white 🐘s & technofixes like CCS & nuclear.
Where is the Green New Deal we need to deliver good green jobs, warm homes & cheap energy?

Relieved benefits to be uprated with Sept CPI at 6.7% & LHA unfrozen (after 3.5 years) but this is bare minimum in a threadbare system that remains grossly inadequate, with many still not able to make ends meet, afford sky high rents & cost of living

Denying free prescriptions to punish people is immoral & will have dire health impacts. Life on benefits is grim & sanctions counterproductive. Govt's persistent pejorative language towards those not in work will drive people further from support, not towards it.

If anyone knows truth of PM's claim that “we can and will cut taxes”, it’s fossil fuel giants. Is Hunt ok with Shell paying less in UK tax last year than they did to their outgoing CEO? Time to close windfall tax loophole handing huge subsidy to climate-wreckers.

National insurance cut is a tax con, not a tax cut. Threshold freezes mean most people, esp those on lower incomes, won’t benefit at all. One way we could all benefit? Introducing wealth taxes on ultra-rich & fund public services, decimated after Tory austerity

The brass neck of Jeremy Hunt claiming Tories have lifted people out of poverty is breathtaking
