‘I’m asking ordinary people to pay more’ just isn’t acceptable. Ordinary people shouldn’t be paying more to account for woeful financial mismanagement and to support the percentage of people that won’t contribute

I read somewhere that it was a saving of £88, but it probably depends on how many TV's, tumble driers, electric blankets, set top boxes, laptops you have . . . and how often you charge the (soon to be) compulsory electric vehicle :D

haha, that 'triple lock' will soon see even the poorest pensioners paying tax.
I know it won't be much, but 'indian giver' seems the apt phrase here.

They'll be taxing unemployed and disability benefits next :D

It was the Tories that were responsible for the debt and the situation we're in ! The Govt for 14 years, not the ones just for the last 14 months. If they had won the last GE they'd have to do the same. Cutting NI as a pre election bribe , was a disgrace that we couldnt afford and didnt work. Just one example their financial mismanagement.

Remember Liz and Boris.....

And you still have the triple lock, increased cash isa allowance. Pensioners never had it so good :)
However taking kids out of poverty gets everyone booing!

It was a budget for the welfare class, but then again what else would you expect from a socialist Labour government.

Wealth distribution, but not take from the rich and give to the poor.

Take from the slightly better off from the poor and give to the welfare class, which includes career scroungers and immigrants that have contributed zip to the economy.

It’s a target and promise he can’t meet, another broken promise by Labour.

By the end of this term god knows what it will be, it won’t go down that’s for sure.

Due to the U.K. energy pricing structure cheap electricity is not passed onto the consumer……..so what’s the point?
