Re: (Emergency) Budget 2015
I cannot even begin to express how happy I am to have moved to Yorkshire, and a 4 bedroom house where the mortgage is half what I was paying in rent for a 2 bed flat.
Hom3r - I honestly think your anger would be better directed at the absurd housing costs in your area alongside the level of your own wage, not that the minimum/living wage might be 80% of yours.

Our mortgage is half that of the rent we were paying. It leaves us in a better position to swallow any increases in other costs.
We have also halved our gas/electric costs since daughter and boyfriend moved out (£80pm)

Re: (Emergency) Budget 2015
Quote:
Labour will not oppose Conservative plans in the Budget to limit child tax credits to the first two children, its acting leader Harriet Harman has said.
She told the BBC Labour's big defeats in the last two elections meant it could not adopt "blanket opposition".
She said the party must listen to the views of those who had put off having "bigger families" for financial reasons as well as those getting state support.

Re: (Emergency) Budget 2015
Seems Harriet is speaking out of turn:
Quote:
The party’s acting leader found herself at odds with three of its four leadership contenders as the battle to succeed Ed Miliband became more fractious ahead of ballot papers being sent out.
She also appeared to take a swipe at the two male candidates, Andy Burnham and Jeremy Corbyn, when she urged activists to “wake up” and not to pick a leader who made them feel “comfortable”.
