The Budget

1301: From next year, with the exception of pension and pension credit, benefits, tax credits and public service pensions will rise in line with consumer prices rather than retail prices - saving over £6bn a year by the end of the parliament, the chancellor says.
 
1309Corporation tax will be cut by 1% per year for four years from next year, bringing it down to 24%, while the employers' National Insurance threshold is to rise.

1307Housing benefit will be limited to a maximum of £400 per week for a four-bedroom house under radical reforms, Mr Osborne says.
 
I think it's good, people will start to realise what a horrible mistake it was to vote the tories in when they announce they're going to destroy this country like thatcher tried to.

Perhaps, but Labour did an even better destruction job with 13 years of reckless borrowing and profligate spending.

Undoubtedly it'll be designed to crap on anyone who has no money and give the rich man lots of tax breaks.

Unless I have missed something the only people that seem to be getting crapped on are the workshy.
 
20% VAT as expected. I was speaking to a shop owner on Oxford St the other day and he said they would be screwed if it went above 22%.
