Where is the Labour defence? Why aren't they on here making their case so that people can share their posts and help to clear up any ambiguities?

Why aren't they talking about the few good or reasonable aspects of the benefits changes they are making?

Leading economic think tank, @theifs.bsky.social warns the Chancellor may have to increase taxes at her Autumn Budget if she is to meet her fiscal rules - calling it a “coin toss”. There is a good chance economic forecasts will deteriorate. #springstatement. #springbudget

“Robbing Peter” by Joe Cunningham, 2015. The title comes from a traditional patchwork design with alternating colors, where segments are "robbed" from one block to form the design of another. The #springbudget made me think of this quilt, big blocks of govt. spend squeezing out smaller ones. #quilts

Funny how the adjective ‘radical’ invariably stands for ‘cuts to those in need’ but never for ‘ditch the neoliberal orthodoxy’ or ‘tax the rich’ #C4news #RachelReeves #SpringBudget

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

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

The #springbudget is so god damn depressing. Reducing foreign aid & how far benefits go. How is this any different to the 14 years of Tory rule they’ve been trying to distance themselves from?

I don’t care if it’s just at a local or devolved level, you just aren’t defending a left wing party […]

🌍There is a big potential in the UK’s green energy transition and protecting that investment is vital. Reducing energy demand first is the cheapest and cleanest option. This is good for the economy as it’ll boost jobs and improve security.

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

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?
