Good government is, I think, in a position of trust. Whether you compare that to a parent or teacher, or to the trustee of a charity, the same principle applies. As a trustee they must balance short term wants and needs with long term interests.

While this #UKLabour government is a definite improvement, and certainly less self-serving, I remain unconvinced that they have or can attain that balance. I don't particularly like #RachelReeves and disagree with her on several key policies, but I think she is taking a longer term view than just the next election cycle, which is something I definitely respect. She is the only one I feel able to say that about. #KierStarmer has compromised on too many things, which I'm very disappointed about, but I'm pleased to see him taking a firmer position with #Trump about #Ukraine.

I guess promising us MORE Austerity after 15 years of Tory Austerity combined with our super best friend, Gilead calling a Trade War isn't helping.

Tell you what chancellor, why don't you punish the Poor for the Economy not going the way you naively assumed it would, teach us a lesson, yeah?

More evidence of who exactly Rachel Reeves is listening to, when (re)formulating policies.... and if I tell you its investment firm Blackstone's CEO, who made representations about NonDoms interests right before the 'crack down' on NonDoms was softened, would you be shocked? Sadly, its all too predictable.

No doubt he'll have been whispering to her about those benefits scroungers & disabled people robbing the benefits system, too

Worth remembering that #uk rearmament in the 1930s was not funded by further cuts in benefits - those in 1931 took place before #hmtreasury abandoned 'the no major war in ten years' assumption - this was scrapped in 1932. If #nevillechamberlain and #sirjohnsimon - the two successive chancellors of the exchequer - preferred to resort to taxes and borrowing why should not #rachelreeves - or any #labour successor - do the same this time round ?

Rachel Reeves will unload savage cuts to Welfare in her Budget, and she'll do it with glee.
Public services will deteriorate, people will blame Immigrants and Wokeness as guided by the media, then they'll Protest Vote Labour out of Government and Rachel Reeves will carry on with her merry life, believing she did her very best.

All this is a choice, and a choice not made by us, but by a group of men a year ago in some anonymous room paid for by Oligarchs.

2mago 16.06 GMT The IPPR (Institute for Public Policy Research), a leftwing thinktank, is urging the government not to adopt a “cuts first” approach to organising the public finances. Responding to the reports today saying Rachel Reeves is going to cut billions from welfare spending in the spring statement (see 9.23am), the IPPR issued this statement from Avnee Morjaria, its associate director for public services. 44 The world has changed fundamentally since the government took office, and its approach to fiscal policy and the spending review will need to reflect that. Defence spending may yet have to rise further and faster, and the radical policy changes now coming from countries like Germany show the scale of the challenge. The UK needs a fiscal strategy fit for the volatile world we now find ourselves in. While cuts and savings can fill some immediate gaps in the chancellor’s budget this isn’t a viable strategy for the future.

The UK needs a fiscal strategy fit for the volatile world we now find ourselves in. While cuts and savings can fill some immediate gaps in the chancellor’s budget this isn’t a viable strategy for the future. The cuts that are being trailed today would come with significant risks. Some public services are already in crisis, and further cuts could undermine government commitments on health, education, crime and more. Waiting lists in the NHS are stubbornly high, councils are on the verge of bankruptcy, backlogs in the criminal courts are at record levels and prisons are at bursting point. Welfare changes could deliver real savings over time by supporting people into work, but a ‘cuts first’ approach is likely to undermine efforts to reform the system and worsen child poverty just as the government sets out its new child poverty strategy. We know that the government will be judged on public services and whether families feel better off - cuts will make both more difficult to achieve.
