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%.
