"I've been really clear that the Budget on 30 October will require difficult decisons, on tax, on spending and on welfare," Rachel Reeves tells Faisal Islam "I'm in this job to make Britain better off," the chancellor adds

@faisalislam “You have to make decisions”, says @RachelReevesMP. Maybe she needs to start listening to @UniteSharon. Attacking pensioners won’t solve her problem (which she herself helped make, btw!).

@faisalislam Welfare? How about stopping benefits for those that refuse to get a job or that arrive here illegally.

@BBCNews @faisalislam In other words, if you're a hard working tax payer, prepare to be rinsed of every penny you've got under the Labour government.

@faisalislam I’m no Tory but there’s a patent dishonesty about the origins of a “£20bn black hole” and it’s clearly codshit that the only options are to hit kids and pensioners. They think if they do the unpleasant shit early you’ll forget it in 2028. One term I think.

😂 'Difficult decisions' means one thing: austerity for the poor, business as usual for the rich 💸. And 'make Britain better off' means what, exactly? 🤷‍♀️ More of the same neoliberal policies that benefit the 1%? 🤑 #AusterityLite #TaxTheRiches (but only in words, not in action)

@faisalislam Austerity for the whole country.

@faisalislam @RachelReevesMP won't make anyone better off but at least she can claim 4.4k to heat her home while granny freezes. #grannykillers

@faisalislam Will these difficult decisions affect billionaires and bankers or the poorest and most vulnerable? #RedTories

@faisalislam Have you considered making the easy decision to tax the ultra rich, clamp down on ridiculous profiteering and exploitative enterprises instead?

@faisalislam Sadly, like the Tories before her, she sees 'Britain' as meaning govt finances, not the people who live here.
