In response to the #Budget2024 presented by the Tories, @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour criticized the government's economic policies, highlighting high taxes, rising prices, and mortgage costs. They emphasized the need for change after 14 years of Tory rule. The Budget, led by Jeremy Hunt, focused on cutting personal taxes to their lowest level in almost 50 years, with a political undertone ahead of the upcoming general election. While some praised Hunt's measures, others, including @UKLabour members, labeled it as a desperate act of a failing party, prioritizing party interests over the country's needs.

No conceivable Budget could right a British economy that is structurally unsound. @TomMcTague: 👇 https://t.co/VFXiINFSiE
14 years of Tory economic failure. The change we need will only come from a @UKLabour Government #Budget2024 https://t.co/u4liCSUX4Z
“Keir Starmer is going to have to provide some balance and common sense. I think nobody else will.” 🖊️ @AndrewMarr9 https://t.co/xsRa0sQTvH
.@ExpressPolitics has been all over #Budget2024 today. Here's @DavidPBMaddox rounding up the winners and losers of Jeremy Hunt's changes - https://t.co/vSRL26FNEa
Today the Chancellor's budget has served to remind us all of the 14 years of Tory failure we have endured. Prices in the shops continue to rise, mortgages are higher and the tax burden is the highest it's been in 70 years. It's time for change. https://t.co/kcdxAINjCK
“Jeremy Hunt’s Budget lacked a sharp-edged election argument capable of troubling Labour.” 🖊️ @AndrewMarr9 https://t.co/WgczkHyEdG
This was @Keir_Starmer on #austerity only a few years ago. This guy is a charlatan. 👇 #Budget https://t.co/rA4Eq7nUsw
So @jeremy_hunt’s pledge to “end the unfairness” of double taxation looks like a long term ambition. Signalled in the budget - then placed in a Conservative general election manifesto? No doubt @RishiSunak would love to run a traditional tax cuts v spending campaign with Labour
#Budget2024 was the last desperate act of a party that has failed. @Keir_Starmer was spot-on. Party first, country second. 14 years of Tory economic failure, asking people to pay more and more for less and less. https://t.co/4P4L83QwYc
Fourteen years and bills are going up, wages are going down and still the tax burden is the highest in 70 years. It is time for change and time for an election. #ToriesOut #Budget2024 https://t.co/LxAoyCZHYy
Jeremy Hunt cut personal taxes to their lowest level for almost 50 years in a highly political Budget ahead of this year’s general election ✍️: @DavidHughesPA https://t.co/g0cHP7Xijv
“Jeremy Hunt stole the opposition’s main tax rises and avoided cutting overall public spending.” 🖊️ @freddiejh8 https://t.co/H9RxYZTk2v

.@Keir_Starmer smashed that Budget Response - he won the argument and exposed the delusion of the Tories. It’s not easy to respond to a Budget that you have no prior sight of, but Keir did it brilliantly. https://t.co/evv6aBkt0v
#Budget24 Keir starmer rips into Tories 14 years of failure & dishonesty. He exposes the nonsense of their claims to be a party of growth and low taxes and the desperate gamble of cosmetic measures that put party first and country second. A storming response

The Chancellor's #Budget2024 exposes the facts people feel every day: after 14 years in power, the Tories have failed the economy. High taxes, prices up and mortgages rocketing. Only @UKLabour has a plan to deliver the change our country needs... https://t.co/SrmPXtpHS9
