It wasn't even pain today and jam tomorrow
It felt like jam in some parallel universe or fairytale future
No clear strategy for actually making that jam

Mixed message from Reeves is threat to economic confidence
Her policy approach seems equally confused
https://nitter.privacydev.net/TheGreenParty

In infrastructure, public services, home insulation, green transition
The only route to economic success

😔 UK consumer confidence takes drastic fall
😠 Labour posturing around ‘tough decisions’ is undermining economic sentiment
🤦🏻♀️ Undermining the economy is the last thing a chancellor should do
💚 What we need is investment, fair taxes and optimism

I'm speechless at the short-sightedness of this
I can't think of another organization that has cast such light into an area of such political darkness
A serious error of judgement

'under-investment has resulted in a vicious circle of stagnation and decline and greater social and environmental problems'
For our health, wealth, and happiness, we urgently need investment
Reeves must abandon her commitment to further austerity

'Starmer’s swift rejection of EU priorities such as establishing a youth mobility scheme and rejoining Erasmus has gone down badly in European capitals and is taking a toll on early optimism about the new British government'
Such a shame; such a waste

EU Commission scores stunning court win in €13B Apple tax row
Great victory by EU's competition commissioner, Vestager

It’s likely poorer pensioners will die this winter without winter fuel allowance

consider this a price worth paying to establish their reputation for fiscal toughness
Taxing wealth fairly could fund this and so much more

'Dozens reported dead after Israeli strike on Gaza school'
We've got a Labour govt now but what's changed?
What pressure are they using to urge an immediate ceasefire?
What are they doing to put pressure on the US to stop this horror?
