£15 billion is a lot of money.

Just imagine how much more headroom Rachel Reeves would have in her budget next month if the government allowed asylum seekers to work so they could pay for their own accommodation.

Especially since then they'd be paying taxes as well. And spending more money on goods and services so the businesses they spend their money with would also pay more taxes.

Mark Carney is an economist. So why is he ignoring decades' worth of data showing austerity makes things worse?

#Austerity "has significant and persistent negative effects on employment and the size of an economy (...), with the damage lasting more than 15 years"

In the struggle to get Britain working, the long shadow of austerity could be part of the problem

Recent research shows labour markets are slower to bounce back from the effects of austerity than economists previously assumed.

"When governments cut spending, firms delay investments. This, in turn, lowers productivity growth and reduces job creation."

If Mark Carney can't set aside his own conservative ideology long enough to actually help Canadians, he should step down and make room for a Liberal leader who can.

Le budget proposé par le Gouvernement présente comme des évidences des données contestées par des rapports officiels. Loin d'un "effort équitable et partagé", les mesures envisagées contribueront à appauvrir les plus modestes et fragiliser encore davantage les services publics.

Le budget doit être établi à partir de données solides et faire l'objet d'un véritable consensus démocratique !

Voici quelques exemples pour illustrer ces incohérences ⤵️

Le Gouvernement a ajouté un cadeau empoisonné pour les microentreprises dans le PLF 2025.
