So what did people make of the budget today?
I thought it was very very good from a personal perspective. The tax allowance increases was very welcome, as was the freezes in fuel duty and beer duty.
And a bonus was watching McDonnell completely avoiding the question on the BBC News about where he would cut spending even though he is trying to claim economic competence. The SNP are a massive bunch of hypocrites IMO, wanting huge tax breaks for the oil industry but then criticising Osbourne for cut business rates and increasing tax allowances. Yet if Scotland were independent right now it would be facing bankruptcy with the oil price where it is and the SNP spending what they want to.
