No Shit Sherlock
It appears that Reeves is just waking up to reality, having screwed (along with Her boss(?) around for so long. As reported today in the Gruaniad and in interview with the BBC.
While it is always good to see a sinner repent, this is more a cretin finally realising that hitting your face against a concrete wall still hurts.
UK Chancellor, Rachel #Reeves flies to US to kiss #Trump’s ring and get into bed with the fascists.
She wants to let #Musk, #Bezos and #Zuckerberg pay less tax, risk our children’s safety watering down online safety bill and who knows what in terms of freedom of speech…just so we can sell a few Rolls Royces and Aston Martins to the US tech bros.
Did Parliament get to see the draft?
Can you imagine 'Rachel from accounts' in the same room as #Trump. Her Embassy minders will be pissing them selves with laughter whilst desperately keeping a stiff upper lip. I can barely type this through my tears of laughter. #UKPol #USPol #Reeves #Trump

Children are our future society. Children have no choice as to which size family they are born into. What happened to the Labour Party of Gordon Brown that fought to end child poverty?
I wish more traditional #Labour voters would acknowledge how heartily sick they are of #Starmer and #Reeves chasing #Reform votes. Because it is a race to the bottom.

These are #Trump’s red lines that he wants the UK to submit to:
1 Drop Big Tech Tax
2 Abandon Online Safety
3 US Companies in NHS
4 Block Monopoly Rules on Big Tech
5 Scrap Regulations on AI
6 Flood Supermarkets with Chlorinated Chicken and More
Have we really heard loudly and forcefully from #Starmer and #Reeves what the UK red lines are?
#Trump not only wants the UK to have these items in play for a US-UK #TradeDeal, they are his red lines
1 Drop Big Tech Tax
2 Abandon Online Safety
3 US Companies in NHS
4 Block Monopoly Rules on Big Tech
5 Scrap Regulations on AI
6 Flood Supermarkets with Chlorinated Chicken and More
#Starmer and #Reeves have so far played along with him…how much will they give up for a deal less important than EU?

@davidho Take note fellow Brits. When an Administration seeks to diminish, marginalise & persecute sectors with which they have (for ideological reasons) a bee in their bonnet, they revoke tax-emption. Continuing & lasting shame on you #Reeves #Starmer & #UKLabour for your vindictive assault on non-state education in this country masquerading as a fiscal necessity. You have baked-in a generation of antipathy among up & coming young electors, & you deserve it.

#StarmerTheSpineless and his toxic right-wing #RedTory #Liebour PARASITES aren't fit for any office or power just like the other Westminster dinosaur and parasites #ToryFascistParty and #ReformUKFascistParasites
The Labour MPs considering rebelling need to! Not just THREATEN it! Sod the Whips and their threatening and bullying and grow some balls!
#StarmerTheSpineless #Reeves #Kendall #Streeting & all the other toxic extremist #Liebour government aren't fit for office
Why are #Starmer and #Reeves so poor at communicating what they are doing?
Does this press release do anything to encourage you to buy a new EV?
Or does it suggest some fudgy back pedalling is going on to give the ICE automotive industry longer to sell us petrol/diesel cars, because instead of saying they need to act now - tomorrow will do, hybrids will do and no sticks for industry.
In many respects, #Reeves has been given an excuse, a reason as to why her decisions have failed.
Your proposal makes absolute sense…but these were Rachel #Reeves words leading up to the tariff announcement yesterday:
“the prize on offer is an economic agreement” and businesses do not want the government to do anything that would put this at risk.’
She wants a trade deal with the US regardless of the fallout.
#Reeves' budget constraints are self-imposed constraints she is under no obligation to keep them
So what will UK government response be to 10% across the board and 25% on automobile #tariffs?
Early indications are they’ll expect the UK to take the hit:
“We don’t want to be posturing here. The prize on offer is a good economic agreement between us and the United States. We are not going to do anything to put that in jeopardy,”
Says Rachel #Reeves. Ever heard a Chancellor more desperate to kiss a fascist leader’s ring?
And Keir ‘keep my powder dry’ #Starmer is against ‘kneejerking’.
All goods sold to the USA will be subject to a 10% increase in cost as of midnight tonight
#Reeves economy will be ruined
1,000s of people will lose their jobs
Starmer has been so desperately naive and owes the nation an apology tomorrow morning

“If Starmer is trying to take the #UK into #fascism, we may have found the one thing he’s good at – 13 Cabinet ministers set to lose seats”
