Not even mentioning Brexit, possibly the single biggest change in the fundamental economic underpinnings of the UK in the last 50 years, feels deliberately misleading to me.
Living in Britain right now, I can tell you nobody I've met believes in capitulating to Russian demands - any dissatisfaction is purely on the reaction to that, and mismanagement of the response.
And a completely tone-deaf political stance - the proposed budget just said the quiet parts loud of the general Tory stance and highlighted just how "different" they are to the average man on the street.
