Quite a few promises broken by this budget, even going against their election manifesto. :(

Tax credits earning limit slashed, 2 kids only to qualify. That will sting some of the fast-breeding couples.

ESA claimants in the Work group to get a massive drop in income down to dole levels.

Parents with the youngest child at 2 years old to "prepare for work", and when the youngest hits 3 years old they have to be "actively seeking employment".

Flat rate Car Tax after the first year. £140.

Tax on insurances to rise from 6% to 9.5%.

Well, well, well. All the cry babies seem to have got it all wrong and we're even seeing turncoats extolling the virtues of the Tories.

Notice the ideas now being hailed by last week's detractors. Hilarious :D.

Yep, and old Cleggie had all the answers too...right up to the point that he found himself in Government. It's easy to criticise; less easy to achieve.

Indeed. This wasn't exactly 'good' but it was way better than the past few months of rhetoric have lead us to believe.

I believe grown ups are happy to change their minds when proven wrong, children are intractable.

I have been proven wrong and am delighted to have been so proven. The budget was far more moderate than had been anticipated and much of it was quite centrist.

I may be wrong but I understand this only to apply to new cars, along with Zero & 'Premium' bands, older cars will be taxed as they are at the moment.

Shame I could have halved my tax if it was retrospective.
