#Budget2021 starts with a scolding from the Deputy Speaker for pre-briefing the media on details of the budget before it has been presented to the house.
"Let there be no doubt our plan is working" says the Chancellor. We reckon young people, low-income families and not to mention the planet itself would beg to differ. #Budget2021
The Chancellor says we need to strengthen our economy so we're ready for the next crisis.
Presumably we'll be seeing investment in a #GreenNewDeal to tackle the impending climate crisis then Rishi? #Budget2021
Itβs been a month since #fracking resumed in the UK for the first time in six years.
Hereβs some things that everyone should know about the first few weeks of drilling for gas - in eight numbers!
15
The percentage of the British public which supports fracking, a number which has fallen from 18% in April. We don't want fracking.
37
The number of tremors which have been caused by fracking so far. Anyone in Holland can tell you that gas extraction can cause heightened seismic activity, and weβre experiencing an average of more than one quake per day.
