Hybrid drivers face double tax whammy with 1.5p a mile levy The electric vehicle excise duty announced in the budget will apply to plug-in hybrids even when they are running on petrol or diesel

I have a phev and the proposal means that I would be taxed twice on all miles driven. Surely nonsense proposal by advisor that doesn’t understand phev! This is grossly unfair.

Quote from Adeela Warley, CEO at CharityComms that reads: “The sector is expressing concerns about how the budget will impact charities who are already feeling the pinch, though there are glimmers of hope for some causes. Effective collaboration across communications, policy, fundraising and senior leaders, as well as across the sector, will be paramount to ensure responses are coordinated, strategic and influential."

How will the #Budget25 announcement affect comms professionals?

In this In.Comms article highlighting sector leaders responses to the budget, our CEO, Adeela Warley, shares how charities can respond effectively through stronger, sustained communication: https://bit.ly/4rpS0tb

Yes!
I was trying to turn precisely this thought into a paragraph while driving. It’s comical.

I mean, I’m not a fan of #RachelReeves as Chancellor by any means, but the pivoting of the further-right must be making them dizzy! #Budget25 #Budget2025

BBC journalists are questioning the PM, Chancellor and Labour MP's with
anger and venom in the tone of their voices. They are incapable of hiding their hatred of the Labour party. Hardly a mention of the vile rantings of Badenoch at the dispatch box yesterday.

We're delighted Rachel Reeves has ended the two-child limit for good in the UK. We, alongside many of our partners, have campaigned for this for many years.

Read the update from our CEO, Justina Murray.

Leaders hope budget funding will boost Labour in next year’s Scotland and Wales elections Scottish Labour’s Anas Sarwar and the Welsh first minister, Eluned Morgan, both face humiliating defeat in next year’s elections, according to polling

Great to see #Budget25 include £1,447 for each secondary school in England to buy books, expert librarians can help ensure the investment is best spent assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6926eb...

A number of shoppers the Guardian spoke to were unhappy about the measure that got the biggest cheers from Labour benches on Wednesday - lifting the two-child benefit limit. “If you can’t afford to have children you shouldn't be having them,” was a repeated refrain.

Fucking Reform voters, so petty and selfish....

The key message for me is here....
Overall, in times that can often feel gloomy, this is a good Budget for the North.
Investment at record levels, the two child cap removed, fiscal devolution on the way.

Income tax thresholds: How the chancellor just took a chunk out of your future pay The point at which you start to pay tax, and the point where you tip into paying a higher rate of tax have been frozen for three more years.

A new crackdown on tax evasion is forecast to glean £2.6bn, making it the 3rd largest revenue-raiser in the budget.
But research by TaxWatch shows that HMRC is already struggling.
Just 26 of 6,700 new compliance staff promised in 2024 are recruited and working.

Yes, Matt Goodwin is very, very, very racist.

Very stupid, obviously, and doesn't understand the policy, but also, very, very, very racist.
