After a budget that seemed to champion the rights of shirkers ahead of workers, we look at some of your best responses to Rachel Reeves budget. These responses were all gathered on the day of the budget and haven’t taken into account Reeves falsely claiming Britain faced a £30bn shortfall in finances. I should imagine your anger has now hit the roof following this latest news.
One message comes across loud and clear from the confusion of initiatives announced in the Budget; whatever it might say to the contrary, this is a government that prioritises welfare – and appeasement of belligerent backbenchers – over enterprise, self-improvement and growth.
Peter Gladstone
The Government know that they are haemorrhaging support from voters up and down the country, so they want to get more and more people claiming welfare, becoming dependent on the state and that’s how they will win their vote; UTTERLY SHAMEFUL
Jane Featherstone
High taxes on the only productive parts of the economy to fund the under productive parts of the economy. Taxed up to our eyeballs and literally milked dry. It’s impossible to have any sort of entrepreneurial aspiration. People will leave the UK and that’s exactly what’s happening. Hardworking Brits are being treated as a piggy bank to fund migrants in hotels and shirkers who want to have as many kids as they like.
Andrew Garland
I lived through this in the 70s, I never thought I’d have to go through it again. Genuinely thinking of retiring elsewhere to give my Grandchildren more opportunities. It is regrettable that Britain has allowed Socialism to flourish. I really fear for the younger generation, unless that generation is a load of layabouts.
David Howard
I thought Kemi Badenoch absolutely destroyed Reeves at the dispatch box; it was a joy to watch. I’m not a fan of the Conservatives, but it was a fantastic takedown if this shambolic Chancellor.
Pam Osborne
Work hard, build a business, buy a home, pass something on to your children. These are the dreams that I had when I was in my teens. I’m proud to say that I achieved all of them. I wouldn’t stand a chance under this lot. 2029 cannot come soon enough.
Dennis Hudson
This budget exemplifies everything wrong with our government – why do we keep giving money to people who contribute nothing to the system. “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money” Never have these words rung so true. Well, they’re not taking anymore of my money; I’m off. I always wanted to retire abroad, and this budget is the final straw.
