The reality is, the govt failed to release the impact assessment with Kendall’s reform announcements because they wanted the reality of 250k people (including 50k kids) falling into poverty to be buried. Forcing worried people to wait another week to know the truth. Disgraceful.

Self-employed people and small businesses who do self-assessment face hefty new penalties if they pay their VAT or income tax late. Fined 3% of overdue tax if 15 days late, another 3% at 30 days, and then 10% a year after that. The changes will bring in £105m in 2028/29

Balancing the books on the backs of disabled people is not just unfair; it’s cruel. A million disabled people stand to lose vital support, while the wealthiest are protected. This isn’t necessity, it’s a choice—and it’s the wrong one. #SpringStatement

Just so we’re crystal clear. The Labour Government are taking £4.8bn from disabled people via welfare cuts, and they are only able to gather up a predicted extra £1bn from tax evaders. I think that’s very interesting, no?

UC was a huge cut as it combined entitlement and housing benefit, a big financial loss compared to the prior scheme. However, Labour’s reforms will compound 14yrs of austerity and the impact of Covid on mental/physical health. It’s frankly disastrous. It’ll not just increase poverty, but haunt them.

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.
