The now infamous mini-budget has been a gift for Labour, not least because it happened two days before their annual conference and gave opportunist Lefties the chance to plug the narrative that the budget made the rich richer and the poor poorer and that the nasty "hard Right" Tories don't give a stuff about people on low incomes - just lining the pockets of the super wealthy.
Which is all tosh.
This budget will put billions back into the pockets of consumers and companies, many of which would have gone bust because they couldn't have paid their energy bills without government help.
The Tories had already helped the worst off with packages totalling £37billion. The budget is also taking 1 per cent off tax, cancelling NI and corporation tax rises and borrowing vast sums to help us all with soaring energy bills. Is that really the work of a hard-Right government that hates the poor? No, this is just the shameful narrative being peddled by the Left, forever pushing the lie that the Tories are still the "nasty party" that despises working people.
