What's the true figure?

The black hole seems to have jumped from 16 billion to 50.

Let’s all pretend to be cross party, what are people hoping from this budget?

Do we want money rebuilding our public services or are we more worried about our own funds?

Personally, I’d like to see a start to alleviating the housing shortage, especially in the social sector. NHS, schools and Defence, a start on them would be good, as well as some mitigation for the change in WFA payments.

They better give me some more dole money
to carry on the life I’ve been accustomed to over the years

50’ telly, I-phone 16, vapes and fags on tap, and takeaways every night. What's not to like ;-)

I’m mildly concerned about the opaqueness of “working person”.

I’m self employed via a limited company. Fully expecting to be fucked and treated as if I’m Logan Roy.

I was / am a supporter of Starmer and Reeves, and am firmly of the Tony Blair wing of politics but if they come after small business owners I’ll never vote for them again.

All depends upon whether you’re a working person or not.

If you are then you’ve nothing to worry about.

If you aren’t then you deserve it.

Not that the current Labour Party would ever peddle some absurd and divisive nonsense of course.

All the signs say they’re going to jack up tax on dividends, which will make me poorer.
