Sunak steals my rhetoric but no substance. Working people hit by income tax rise as thresholds frozen, council tax rise, pay freeze for public sector workers, cliff edge cut in Universal Credit in months, nothing for disabled on legacy benefits and over 2 million still excluded.

This #Budget2021 has done nothing to address the vital issues of deepening poverty and inequality.
Whilst the Chancellor says he has done whatever it takes to protect people, he has not even raised the miserly rate of Statutory Sick Pay to a living wage level.#SickPayForAll

Shocking that 47 out of the 56 constituencies that will benefit from the #budget2021 โTown Fundโ are Conservative constituencies – including #RishiSunak โs own Richmond constituency.

Rishi Sunak was sent to an elite private school & Oxford, before becoming an investment banker & marrying the daughter of a billionaire. He's the richest MP.
A single policy in his budget โ the Universal Credit cut โ will plunge 500,000 people into poverty.
That's class war.

Tory NHS Priorities:
โข Nursesโ pay up a very measly 1%.
โข Then the Tories increase nursesโ income tax.โข Meanwhile ยฃ37 billion (not ยฃ22bn as first thought) for profiteers running test & trace.
โข And 2,300 Test & Trace Managers on ยฃ163,000.Totally shameless profiteering!
