'Return to austerity'. It never ended! They mean more austerity than we already have.

[DecMurphy]

They keep going on about how we just don't understand it like we're too stupid to fathom their genius. It's not difficult, they're making the rich richer at the expense of the poor and we cannot stand for it.

The UK urgently needs an intelligent PM. Call for an urgent vote of no confidence against the Liz Truss government. Get rid of clueless Liz, Rees Mogg and her career politicians before they cause irreparable damage to the country. #BringBackRishi

Scotland needs to leave the UK before it goes bust.

Its not a budget. Its a sit down on how we can cut even more funds from people cut even more public services how we as mps can get even more richer

[stevebartley]

"No such thing as society". We are getting there.

[katokaoula]

It's disgusting what the 1st prime minister is doing to the country 🙄.... British people is condemned!

[OldHickoryAndyJackson]

Greed always killed the British empire

[Bullcutter]

The conservative party members who chose Truss, are responsible for this mess! Blind PM leading the blind chancellor! What a mess! (Please note a correction I made to the start sentence).

So basically it's cut taxes for the wealthiest and then strip yet more bones away from the poorest and weakest in society.

[almacharles]

I thought taxes were to fund vital public services, if they are cut where will the money come from to fund the NHS, schools, etc 🤷‍♂️

[extrude]

Because the last 12 years of austerity worked so well? This is a disgrace

[xeviphract]

Austerity never ended in the UK. If we have any more, we'll be back to feudalism.

[gringadoor]

Time for referendums on the unification of Ireland and an independent Scotland. Time to get away from a country that wants to self sanction, tank its currency and make fiscal decisions like an emerging market country and currency.

[gerrypowell]

This is not incompetent, it’s intentional and all planed👹👹👹

[czgibson]

Never forget the damage the Tories have done to this country.

[jackpot]

I DO NOT TRUST; THAT CAUNT LESS TRUST. SHE GAMBLED WITH OUR PENSIONS & LOOSE YEARS WORTH OF CONTRIBUTION IN A MATTER OF WEEK. WHERE IS THE ARREST WARRANT!!

[darrenstrudwick]

It should be a rule that politicians aren't allowed to make important decisions

[hansweissmann_xviii]

From an asset liability matching perspective, the duration effects just blown the liability to such a level that is driving the pension funds towards bankruptcy!!! That’s why this situation is a crisis in the making…..
