The #SpringBudget may be the chancellor's last opportunity to make changes before the general election.

We’ll examine how this will impact the people we help on the 18th March at @CitizensAdvice’s next Data Insights event ⤵️

In case you missed it among the already terrible headlines of today's budget, there is an additional 4.8bn for the War Ministry.

This budget is madness. Instead of making disabled people poorer, the government could fairly tax the rich. These are clear political choices in the interest of money and power. #Budget2025 #SpringBudget #UKBudget

Anyone else earning more than the average UK income willing to be taxed more for fairer distribution of resources rather than seeing more benefits cut? #SpringBudget

Our letter in @financialtimes.com calls on the government to resist spending cuts in the #SpringBudget. After years of stagnation, we cannot cut our way to growth. Public investment is essential for delivering sustainable growth and strengthening our economy.

I've begun reading 'The Conquest of Bread' and 'An Appeal to the Young' both by Kropotkin and they are both extremely enlightening and the words speak true to this day, even if the examples used being dated to the mid-late 1800s
political literature is always worth reading and i encourage it to all!
Exerpt from 'The Conquest of Bread', it reads: 'We cry shame on the feudal baron who forbade the peasant to turn a clod of earth unless he surrendered to his lord a fourth of his crop. We called those the barbarous times. But if the forms have changed, the relations have remained the same, and the worker is forced, under the name of free contract, to accept feudal obligations. For, turn where he will, he can find no better conditions. Everything has become private property, and he must accept, or die of hunger. The result of this state of things is that all our production tends in a wrong direction. Enterprise takes no thought for the needs of the community. Its only aim is to increase the gains of the speculator. Hence the constant fluctuations of trade, the periodical industrial crises, each of which throws scores of thousands of workers on the streets' Second exerpt from 'The Conquest of Bread' which reads: 'All things for all. Here is an immense stock of tools and implements; here are all those iron slaves which we call machines, which saw and plane, spin and weave for us, unmaking and remaking, working up raw matter to produce the marvels of our time. But nobody has the right to seize a[Pg 11] single one of these machines and say: "This is mine; if you want to use it you must pay me a tax on each of your products," any more than the feudal lord of medieval times had the right to say to the peasant: "This hill, this meadow belong to me, and you must pay me a tax on every sheaf of corn you reap, on every brick you build." All is for all! If the man and the woman bear their fair share of work, they have a right to their fair share of all that is produced by all, and that share is enough to secure them well-being. No more of such vague formulas as "The right to work," or "To each the whole result of his labour." What we proclaim is The Right to Well-Being: Well-Being for All!'

Writing for @chamberuk.bsky.social with analysis of the Chancellor’s #SpringStatement, I ask why we’re STILL all in this together. With a #SpringBudget reminiscent of George Osborne’s in the early 2010s, how has a Labour Chancellor found herself in such a corner on economic growth?

Solidarity with anyone under the age of 22 with a disability that makes it impossible to work. Not all of them will have parents or a supportive network to support them financially. The terror they must be feeling. #SpringBudget #RachelReeves #Labour

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

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirmed £billions in welfare cuts in the #springbudget — hitting the poorest hardest.

Instead of taxing the super-rich to fund public services, clean energy & more, billions will go to military spending.

The UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has just confirmed £ billions in cuts to welfare payments in the #springbudget, while also announcing a £2.2 billion increase in military spending.

The money is out there – and if the UK government taxed the wealth of the super-rich, there would be plenty.
