The Spin

Right narrative

Labour's socialist budget exposes Reeves and Keir Starmer for their continued misleading of the British public. Having promised a changed party during the general election, Labour has returned to its high-spending, high-borrowing, high-taxation dogma that history has shown to fail time and time again. This anti-business and anti-growth approach will not succeed.

Left narrative

Albeit unpopular for the wealthy who will have to fork the bills, Reeves's budget is a strong and fair approach to finally putting the working people of Britain first. Having left the state of the UK's finances in disrepair after 14 years of self-centered short-termism, the Conservative Party has little right to complain about the painful yet necessary decisions made by the new government.
