I didn’t have much hope for #Labour Lovers of Israel’s Genocide, or #Burnham Bribed by Israel & certainly not for this budget, but seriously it would almost have been better to change nothing as it would have been less insulting. #wealthtax #votegreen

Pathetic. Gherkins and sweets wtf!

Glass beads and trinkets yet again.

What a great benefit! Especially for all those gherkin marmalade sandwich eaters, double dunter!

Marmalade never tastes better than when you make it yourself. Sure, it probably costs more and takes more time … but cheaper isn’t always the solution. Cultural obsession of having more for less can never reconcile with climate crisis or global poverty. This will not end well for the many.

Not sure what the fish reference is...presume it's the "happy british fish" promise that Mogg made from the despatch box.

Let them eat gherkins!

Write to your Labour MP to complain about the bank, water companies and fossil fuel companies subsidies, whilst all the while paying out huge bonuses, dividends- those paid abroad are UK tax free- and the rest!!

Couldn’t agree more! Asset tax the ultra wealthy!

Mmmm, Marmalade and Gherkin sandwiches. You are spoiling us chancellor!

👍 Best reply by far.

Fiddling at the edges is all a neoliberal chancellor can do. #MMT

It’s door salesmen distractions going on and on marketing themselves for a General Election … Far too much “Fluff” and kicking the can for their ten year plan…!?!

Phew..what a relief..except I don't consume either....

I suppose it's good news, but why on earth does all this stuff have tariffs on them in the first place? And for how long?

"Removing tariffs from 100 food items could save households up to £21 per year" 40p a week?! Is this supposed to make a difference?

🥂 so that's two bottles for 21...yay! Win win 🤔😁

If ukgov pledged cheaper cheese and jam Liz Truss would achieve orgasm.

They just continue to insult us all on a daily basis. It's been going on for decades, with little or no respite.

👍

Quite obviously you are privileged enough to not be affected.

Just increase the personal Allowance up to £25,000 and watch the economy lift off as people buy the things they actually need instead of fucking gurkins and thick cut marmalade.

Will grocery stores pass this reduction in import tax onto us through reduced prices? They don't have to. This government has such a strong capitalist faith. More progressive leaders worldwide are looking at state run supermarkets for a reason.

Stop housing benefits and buy back the social housing would be a start

A Socialist Labour Party, now there’s an idea.

Yeah, but boiled sweets and toffees...

Don't eat marmalade nor gherkins

🤣

What's the Happy Mondays song "You're twistin' my melon man". Seems apt... genius.com/Happy-monday...

Just "sticking plaster" politics from the Chancellor. Meaningless and unconvincing. Time for an actual Labour Gvt to be radical and transform peoples lives for good....if the Gvt has not been fully bought by vested interests of course.

Good Lord. We're now at the 'ketchup is a vegetable' level.

HEADLINE: “UK Chancellor doesn’t know who Ramsey is; thinks Britons still live in 19th Century when marmelade and gherkins were considered delicatessen.”

Life on the edge.....😂

Staple Gherkin ?

Let them eat cake.

The list is mainly crap. Thanks for nothing!

Healey has his hands tied behind his back and cannot do major things. I don’t eat gherkins or marmalade but he is doing something. The Tories spent 14 years wringing their hands and giving the big prizes to the Banks Oil Companies and their mates via PPE and subsequently and hollowed out the Army.

But we will all save up to £21 per year! What a dear dear government! My heart explodes with gratitude!

Clearly they have Trump organising the budget!

gherkins? who thinks gherkins are an essential foodstuff? I have literally never bought any in my life.

What a nonsense 🤬 I'd better see something. Don't take the piss Me Healey. We'll see you ‼️

Yes there are ways to do anything if the will exists. Sadly in our society/parliament that will is not there.

The water is full of piss and poisons, my mother is worried about affording heating but don't worry folks, pickles are fncking cheaper....

Sounds like someone just shouted, ‘ Release the bots’!

Reducing the govt take on fuel, which is at an all time high, would be a material benefit to everyone.

How can I misrepresent what you've said? It's literally (not) there in your post. If anyone is being "reductive", it's you. And so hostile? Why? I was just saying you were better than this but do you know what? I don't think you are, now.

Yeah and 98 other basics which will be important to many people - the bbc bias reduced it to marmalade and gherkins

This is the one budget chance that they have. Starmer blew the massive opportunity given to him to do the right thing. He was spineless and rudderless, a very good technical leader for a peacetime term in prosperity, but utterly useless in the fight against our fall to Russia in 2016. Big & bold.

Yes, we understand that you can't afford to heat your homes, the privatization of water has increased your costs but can we offer you cheaper marmalade? perhaps a gherkin in these trying times? Be sure to put these staples in your emergency kit we just told you to have ready.

So what are people supposed to do? Dip the gherkins in the marmalade and think themselves lucky?

labour are so corrupt. they're never gonna do anything to actually help ppl.

Cheaper marmalade and gherkins. This is up there with Andrea Leadsom boosting the economy by selling tea, jam and biscuits to Japan etc.

Well said sir. At a time when we need boldness and ambition we have a PM without a mandate who speaks first and has his officials row back later.

Is he having a laugh?

John Swinney was berated for considering capping prices on 50 food essentials. #scottishrepublic

Cornichons R Us😉

What use is cheap marmalade to a diabetic????

What happened to the Brexit dream of the UK leading the world in innovative jam & marmalade exports? "The Department for International Trade says it is time to start selling more “high-quality innovative British jams and marmalades” to countries such as France." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
