This is absolutely chilling. x.com/amanpour/sta...

I’m STILL trying not to hate anyone. But I admit that I DESPISE RACHEL REEVES who thinks it logical to take PERSONAL INDEPENDENCE PAYMENT away from people who need it to raise their PERSONAL LIFE QUALITY to a level that makes it possible for them to work. #Delusional #EmployerWontPayForAWalkInBath

Chancellor Rachel Reeves needs to find an extra £500 million to help balance the books Here you go. Lord Bamford. May owe up to £500,000,000 in taxes. Sorted.

A bit of free advice for Rachel Reeves from me this morning to kickstart the economy - START THE EU JOINING PROCESS This will bring in immediate investment and introduce POSITIVITY and even JOY to this fractured economy. It really is that simple.

Rachel Reeves: i'm gonna sack a bunch of public sector workers PSWs: oh ok damn better apply for welfare Rachel Reeves: lol about that

Rachel Reeves is talking to Kaura Kuenssberg about our plans to tax the rich and rejoin the EU. Ha ha - just kidding! We're going to carry on targeting the most vulnerable in society as we launch Austerity II.

If Rachel Reeves were serious about growth, she would look to the EU There is one shortcut to prosperity: reverse some of the damage of Brexit www.independent.co.uk/voices/edito...

BREAKING: Rachel Reeves feels it's deeply unfair that she is criticised because you are £1,400 a year worse off as a direct result of her policies x

If it weren't for Brexit, Rachel Reeves would have another £50 billion in her purse; plenty enough to boost the NHS, welfare, and infrastructure, and allow for some tax cuts. What a happier and more optimistic Britain that would be. That's the price of the delusional idiocy of Brexit. #RejoinEU

BREAKING 🚨 Can you guess which 5 MPs have taken the highest total donations from people+companies linked to the private health sector between 2023-2025? 1. Wes Streeting - £179,575 2. Yvette Cooper - £165,439 3. Shabana Mahmood - £136,168 4. Tom Tugendhat - £106,297 5. Rachel Reeves - £94,043 ...

Today, Rachel Reeves is going to try and sell the idea of austerity 2.0 as an inevitable consequence of the Tory legacy combined with the external pressures of world events. But the reality is it's a choice, in exactly the same way Labour's decision to stay lashed to the Brexit mast is a choice.

🔴Spring Statement: ‘Rachel Reeves Must Remember What Labour Is Actually For’ Unless the Labour party reconnects with its founding economic mission, they will merely lay the ground for a Nigel Farage Government, argues Neal Lawson bylinetimes.com/2025/03/25/s...

Looks like Rachel Reeves has conveniently forgotten that Brexit brought about the need to duplicate many roles that EU bodies used to do on behalf of the UK? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Me every time Rachel Reeves appears on my telly.

The super-rich are getting richer while ordinary people struggle. Yesterday I joined @sarahwoolley1.bsky.social, @garyseconomics.bsky.social, @cathobbs.bsky.social and more to call on Rachel Reeves to stop savage cuts to welfare and instead bring in a #WealthTax now

Further benefits cuts planned as Rachel Reeves forced to find extra £1.6bn. It is continuation of the Tory austerity with the old, sick, disabled, unfortunate as targets. No talk of reducing corporate welfare, ending tax perks of the rich, redistribution of income/wealth.

Really hope Rachel Reeves is as miserable as she looks.

My prediction is that whatever Rachel Reeves does today, it will be bad news for her, and her days as Chancellor are numbered. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/03...

Rachel Reeves is right that the world has changed - so why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Rigid adherence to arbitrary fiscal rules & refusing wealth taxes is a political choice that’s causing huge pain & harm, as well as laying out the welcome mat for the populists at Reform UK

Does anybody else think that Rachel Reeves needs psychiatric help?

Left: Rachel Reeves repeatedly saying there will be no return to austerity Right: Rachel Reeves on her way to announce the Spring Statement in which there will be cuts to welfare and other departments, which is, in another word? Austerity

Happy birthday me, and Rachel Reeves is a tory x

Rachel Reeves is all about growth. So why won’t she admit that Brexit is its worst enemy? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Judging by Rachel Reeves Spring statement, she either does not understand the purpose of PIP or is choosing to deliberately misunderstand the purpose of it and even how it can benefit the local and wider economy. If she cannot be trusted to understand this one aspect, what else is she mishandling?

Rachel Reeves doesn’t appear to be here but is in Musk’s echo chamber; figures. She says UK WANTS to trade with its biggest trading partner - the US. I don’t. At present, I want to BOYCOTT US goods & services until the Felonius Cheeto & his flying monkeys are gone. We should be allying with EUROPE.

Yep, thought so; even Starmer, Reeves and Kendall’s designed communication of this #Evil plot is #Machiavellian. They should all be put on trial for this. Even the #CorruptToryParty didn’t dare to try this much harm to British Citizens #LabourGovernment www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

This initiative of Starmer’s may seem sensible at first glance but let’s wait for the detail and the actual consequences. Bearing in mind his other current proposals & his past actions I wouldn’t trust him not to take the milk out of my tea & come back for the sugar www.itv.com/news/2025-03...

I make a point of not hating anyone; it’s a toxic, wasted emotion. But if Starmer bullies his MPs to support this evil, I will view him with the same disgust as that with which I view Trump, Musk, Thiel et al #PIPcuts #Evil #DisabilityCuts www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Rachel Reeves’ behaviour re disability ‘benefits’ is like Queen Elizabeth 1st re Ireland in 1500s: Determined to impose harmful, unworkable reform upon it despite neither she nor her advisors ever having been there/knowing anything about it. #PerformativeIgnorantHighHandedCallous

Donald Trump sparked outrage with his shocking display of bullying at the Oval office meeting with Ukraine’s President Zelensky. Now, over 150,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Dear Policy Exchange, PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. So why are you trying to score political points by insisting young people on #PIP must work, volunteer or go into training? PIP enables disabled people to do these things. Cutting it will do the opposite. Thanks Dr Watts

Rachel Reeves MP doesn’t appear to understand the purpose of PIP or how difficult and traumatic it already is to obtain it. In which case she should find a job she’s more qualified for - perhaps stacking shelves in a supermarket. #IsRACHELREEVESStupidLazyOrEvil

Can’t stand King Charles but this is hilarious - and a kick in the stinking balls for Trump #IStandWithUkraine Zelenskyy is a hero

For the record Pres. Zelenskyy has thanked the United States and Americans - 33 times to date including in an emotional speech to Congress.

🇺🇦Slava Ukraini Slava President Volodymyr Zelenskyy🇺🇦

Trump & Vance’s behaviour with Zelenskyy just now was disgraceful. My blood is boiling.

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

Zelenskyy is a HERO.

Donald Trump has designated everyone in the USA a woman. #IgnoramusScience #Trump youtu.be/JkBKy6uWppk?...

Emma Jones, "We're also looking to the police, are you going to investigate what went on here?" "Unlawful behaviour that has been admitted?" "Surely now is the time for another police investigation into the wrongdoings here?"

I was prepared for the Conservatives to trash our economy and cultural ties with the EU I wasn't prepared for the disgusting gaslighting from Labour repeatedly saying their priority is to grow the economy,and then do everything except the biggest thing that will grow the economy

One son chose Murdoch when it mattered & called his mother paranoid, the other son chose truth because he knows it matters & vindicated his mother. Prince Harry, Diana’s heir.

“A host of senior executives and other figures at News Group are named in the claimants’ case – including James Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch, Rebekah Brooks, Will Lewis, Mazher Mahmood and Victoria Newton” bylinetimes.com/2025/01/21/h...

William called Diana paranoid and Prince Harry gets The Sun to apologize to his mother.
