It was like watching a hungry seagull try to lecture on metaphysics.
Despite her obvious lack of ability, Haigh still trotted out stock insults aimed at her opposite number. At one point she suggested that Alex Burghart shouldn't read out his questions, before reading out her answers (and not answering his questions).
In fact, I got the sense that Burghart was being gentlemanly in his reticence to go in for the kill: had Labour put up an open can of sardines in the bottom of a barrel, it would have been a less obvious target than Haigh. But if anything, his stoic demeanour seemed to rile her further.
Burghart's questions were mostly about benefits. He highlighted the fact that the bill was higher now than it had been even during Covid.
Again and again Haigh – who yelled like an unlikeable landlady – insisted that the bill was coming down without explaining in any way how it would do so.

It’s so much worse than I imagined. This is his closing message to the voters.
h/t—R.E.M.
“Because the pipes are very old and in bad shape, but we wouldn't have been able to do that. So we closed it, and we started to do that. We had — we opened it quickly, and there was great vandalism with slashing. We have pictures of it. We have photographs of it. In fact, I must say, Jesse Waters of Fox did a whole long piece on it. And it was sad to watch because the vandals really went to town. A lot of people tried to protect the vandals. But we got it done. We opened it just now with the pipes. The pipes now are totally renovated. They're brand-new pipes put in. And the pipes being very important in terms of the algae and other things. And it's a complete job, and we're very proud of it.”

Replying to @videolan
You’re talking nonsense; the tax is capped, and in your case, it wouldn’t apply at all. Read the text of the amendment instead of just jumping into the fray along with the rest of the pack.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Is that it?
John Healey had a big job to do cleaning up Labour’s mess. This Budget fails to do it.
Britain is overspent, overborrowed and overtaxed. This Budget does not come close to meeting the moment.
