The Budget

'No more tax rises and no more spending cuts in Budget', pledges Osborne

 

There will be no more tax rises and no more spending cuts in this week's Budget, which will set out a package of measures to boost growth and jobs, Chancellor George Osborne said today.

 

But he left no doubt that he will resist Labour calls to scale back the pace of deficit reduction, saying: 'That's not going to happen.'

It looks like there will be few surprises or giveaways in the budget which isn't surprising given the mess Labour left the country in, but neither will there be more tax rises. It'll be a few years before we see the real benefits of public sector reform - particular the removal of non jobs, but this is key to our future prosperity so it's really good to see hear that there will be no scaling back the pace of deficit reduction.

 

Finally we have a decent government sorting the country out.

They are ruining the NHS though, quite unnecessarily as well.

It is to be hoped that Gorgeous George will address the many anomalies in his previously annouced plans. For example:

 

"The figures underline the impact on families if there is just one main earner, with a partner staying at home to raise children. David Kilshaw, chair of private client advisory at KPMG, says: "The analysis shows how the change to the higher rate threshold affects families where there is one main breadwinner in that bracket. Our family on £43,500, where there is a single income, is £645 worse off next year, whereas a family with a combined income of £44,000 is £22 better off.""

but the combined income family will spend thousands on childcare

Goodness me - you're a very fast reader

 

So you would have realised then that the articles weren't controversial or denigrating but quite simply stated the facts.

 

Is that what the Sunday Sport does? http://www.sundaysport.com/

 

So it does

I refuse to read Guardian articles after that scum newspaper mocked Wooton Basset renaming it Wooton Deathfest.
