What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Resolution Foundation criticized the recently announced Budget, calling it 'scattergun' and stating it would do little to address sharp challenges facing Britain. The think tank warned that government decisions would become starker next year due to the failure to address current issues. The Foundation noted that the cost of living measures would not stop energy bills from rising above levels seen during the Iran War and Middle East crisis.
