Damp squib!

Looks like my rental income is up 17.5%

Thanks Jezza !

Was always going to be a budget for growing the economy. Fiscal drag remains in place. While making going to work to earn money more attractive.

In the small print has been tinkering with ISA's it seems.

Reducing national insurance by 2pts but not adjusting thresholds in a high inflation environment is a real terms personal tax increase.

It's so disappointing to see that the ordinary people do not even realise they are getting materially poorer every year, both on an absolute basis and relative to their peers in other countries. All this while the 'old money' continues to be protected.

It's shameful how steeped in elitism the country still is but is only to be expected under a Conservative government

Everything goes back to the idiotic spaffing away of £400billion on Covid to damn all impact.

Why on earth Johnson and co ever thought that was remotely sensible is beyond me.

Get elected - spend absolutely massive amounts of public money on a short term passing mock emergency - spend it on things that deliver zero long term benefit, just pour it down the drain, nothing to show for it now, nothing at all - 4 years later reap what you sowed, huge national debt costs of almost £100 Billion every year.

The economic literacy of an ameoba from the Tory party.
(Of course labour wanted to spend even more, even faster, lockdown for longer etc)

Politically insane - if you just won an election why are you worried about your popularity to the tune of £400 Billion - by the next election covid will be just a distant memory for most people.
