RT @EdnaMurphy12: Only wealthy benefit from minibudget, all others lose. Currency trashed. Interest rates will push up mortgages. Inflation already causing misery with cost of living with more to come. A budget for the 'have & have yachts'?

RT @LibDems: If you work in a shop or a factory, in an office, in the health service, if you're a teacher - your taxes are going up.
It's only if you're earning more than £155,000 that you're going to see your taxes cut.
That's wrong and it shows this government is totally out of touch.

RT @KimSJ: When I was young, the pound was steadily worth around $2.40. I remember it well, because an old penny had parity with the cent! It last hit that level in 1980. That’s how far we have fallen in four decades of poor Governance and no industrial strategy.
