The Labour Government

[Kirkstall Blue]

Personal allowance remains the same, the OBR sabotage the budget before the chancellor sits down nothing like this has ever happened before. The entire document has been released online.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Someone has fucked up big time or has deliberately just fucked the chancellor and government.

Budget leaked online before it's announced - what a cock up OBR 203 page detailed document released two hours early

OBR: - Freezing tax thresholds from 2028-29 onwards (raises 8bn)- Charging National Insurance on salary-sacrificed pension contributions (raises 4.7bn)- Increasing tax rates on dividends, property and savings (raises 2.1bn)- Charge on electric and plug-in hybrid cars from April 2028 (raises 1.4bn)- Reforms to gambling tax (1.1bn)- Changes to capital gains tax reliefs on employee ownership trusts (£0.9 billion)

Starmer can't use the Truss budget as a point score after this major fuck up.

It might be to see Robot Reeves short circuit after her budget has been leaked.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Kemi been thrown a lifeline.
She may be a poor leader of a floundering party but such incompetence as has been shown recently makes the Tories seem like a viable alternative again

She's quite rightly nailing him and the government at the moment.

The McSweeney line was a good one to be fair.

Budget details leaked before official announcement discussing on tv now…a total shambles

Absolutely shambolic

5th column or just incompetent?

Keith got a battering then

 

[west didsblue]

Markets have barely reacted to the budget.
The government will be breathing a sigh of relief.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

There doesn’t seem to be much difference between labour and the tories now, in terms of bad PR and absolutely messing up big announcements

 

[Lowtower]

5th column or just incompetent?

Both mate

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Both mate

Yeah I did consider that too.

Looks like the salary sacrifice thing not coming until until 2029.

Keith got a battering then

Rightly so.

He kept trying to throw back Truss and he looked weak.

On BBC 2 they're saying the budget has been received well by the market. Apparently up from before it was leaked. Very different to Truss' budget, more just a technical fuck up by OBR.

 

[TinFoilHat]

5th column or just incompetent?

Wouldn't surprise me if there's a bit of both.

Any russians work in the OBR? With Keir heading the European peace plan this could well be them.
