Is the government on course to meet its fiscal rules? – Full Fact Full Fact examines whether Labour is on track to meet its “non-negotiable” fiscal rules for the government finances.

Following Tuesday’s #SpringStatement, we’ve updated our Government Tracker, where we’re still rating Labour’s promise that its fiscal rules are “non-negotiable” as ‘appears on track’.

The OBR says watering down the inherited farmland tax plan will raise £100m less each year — another Budget U‑turn with real revenue impact.

Pubs and music venues also get softer business rates, costing another £100m. carbonaccountancy.co.uk/resources/

"Obfuscation personified!" -> Basically, this week, the Chancellor got paid £500, to simply spout economic nonsense, rubbish, hogwash, drivel, and baloney! Beats working for a living, eh?

Is inflation up or down under Labour? – Full Fact Whether Rachel Reeves or Mel Stride is right depends on the time period you’re looking at, because inflation has fallen recently, but is still higher than it was at the last general election.

In the #SpringStatement, Rachel Reeves said “inflation has fallen”, but Sir Mel Stride said it was “up”.

Who’s right (or wrong) depends on the time you’re looking at, because inflation is higher than when Labour came to power, but has fallen recently.

UK stock market calms but oil prices rise over fears Iran war may drag on UK and other European markets opened a little higher but gas and crude prices remain volatile.

💷 The #SpringStatement demonstrates that Labour has the right economic plan for Britain.

This Government is cutting the cost of living, cutting borrowing, and growing the economy👇🏻

Yesterday, Rachel Reeves delivered her #SpringStatement, outlining an updated outlook for the economy & public finances through to 2030/31. While no major new tax measures were announced, the updated projections are significant in shaping the fiscal environment for the remainder of the Parliament.

Rachel Reeves kept things low‑key in her 3 March update — no big tax moves, but the OBR’s latest forecasts paint a mixed picture.

Growth nudged down to 1.1% for this year, with steadier progress expected from 2027. carbonaccountancy.co.uk

The UK Gilt or bond market remains under pressure this morning as the futures contract falls again. The ten-year yield is now at 4.5%.
Not what Chancellor Rachel Reeves wanted as a backdrop to her #SpringStatement

#BBCBreakfast hammering the fact that yesterdays #SpringStatement figures might well be in tatters due to the USA/Israel/Iran situation... Demanding to know right now what they're going to do in a constantly changing & developing situation...... If only they'd been this demanding for last 10 years 🙄

Following her spring statement, I asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, about the benefits of economic stability to residents of Wolverhampton and Willenhall.
