The cost of capping bus fares at £2 would have been tiny compared with keeping the fuel duty freeze. We should be incentivizing public transport which would help reduce carbon emissions - rather than continuing with this regressive fuel duty cut. #AutumnBudget

Reminder: Repeated fuel-duty freezes since 2011 have cost the govt at least £80bn and raised UK CO2 emissions by as much as 7% carbonbrief.org/analysis-fuel-…

Disappointingly timid changes to capital gains tax, which will only raise £2.5bn. Equalising CGT with income tax could have raised £15bn Income from wealth should not be taxed less than income from work #Budget2024


Lots of talk on affordable housing and new building, which is commendable, but what are the plans to protect natural environments, ensure they utilise renewable energy, are energy efficient and adaptable to climate change? #AutumnBudget


Just going to leave this here 👀

Chancello r"I have come to conclusion that extending the freeze on tax thresholds would hurt working people. There will be no extension of the freeze in income tax & NI thresholds. From 2028/29 thresholds will be uprated in line with inflation" So keeping the huge cost of fiscal…



50% increase in private jet air passenger duty is a HUGE win

HUGE and unexpected win in #Budget24 on private jets: air passenger duty hike. Good for climate, good for the economy. Total no brainer.

Stamp duty extra cost for 2nd homes to rise from 3% to 5% (so that's on top of normal stamp duty) - start TOMORROW #Budget

BRAGGING about having the lowest tax rate on rich people’s investments in the G7?? But yeah, this government’s definitely on working people’s side. #Budget2024


Where are the incentives to use low carbon and public transport? Sending the wrong signals to consumers and increasing the cost of climate change

Disappointing to hear the government won't be reversing the fuel duty cut - this is a regressive move that actually benefits the wealthiest and makes it harder for us to tackle climate change. #AutumnBudget



So no tax increases on highest earners but we push the cost to businesses? Increasing costs to SMEs already struggling is not the answer - why aren’t we asking those with the deepest pockets take on the biggest burden? Poor move Ms Reeves…. #AutumnBudget


Positive news there will be an increase in national living wage up 6.7%, which will especially help young people, those most often in the lowest paid jobs to help them with the growing cost of living #AutumnBudget


Major moment for women empowerment with Rachel Reeves, first female Chancellor of the Exchequer, giving her first autumn budget. Iconic line ‘let there be no ceiling on hopes, ambitions and dreams’ #slay

From subsidies for polluters & profiteers, to huge spending on military violence & hostile borders, public money is exacerbating the interconnected crises we face There is an alternative - see @ukycc's call for public money for common good! tinyurl.com/ukycc-call-to-… #AutumnBudget

@ukycc's call to action demands that public money is invested for public good in today's Budget. We agree, the needs of people and planet should be the priority! 🌍
