Interesting, the first time buyers ISA looks interesting (I don't own, and never have owned), at a 50 in for every 200 I can see that being a) abused Have cigs gone up, I quit smoking in Jan I'll be livid if they haven't gone up this year. There must be a cap or some people will have deposits worth more than the entire property! Of course they have, by 2% above inflation. Up to 3k apparently. Whilst you still can't knock that as a saving scheme, it does seem like a sticking plaster approach to the housing problem. Blimey, that's rather generous. Better do something about net migration or mortality rates then. Except we can't.

At the end of the day they will give put £4 in your front pocket and take £5 out your back, irrespective who is in charge. The increase of PA to 10,800 is great but this will only increase to 11,000 next year. When does this come into effect? 5th April 2016 and 5th April 2017.
That said its not that good then: Now 10,000
In 2009/10 under Labour, the allowance was £6475. Oh of course I'm disputing that- just sad to see it slow down a bit thats all haha.

Very drab and boring like UK politics overall. I was expecting a pre-election enticement like "buy one pint of beer get another free!" It could have been a vote winner - a missed opportunity!

No need to mention the NHS. Have you seen the base rate of interest?

Was very good electioneering, but a pretty poor budget overall. The mendacity to make such a change in spending in the final year of the next parliament is breath-taking. Osborne I think probably wanted this budget to be his big pre-election giveaway. But the simple fact is he doesn't have the money available to do it. Whether you blame the current coalition, the previous government, or the global financial collapse for that will probably do much to determine who you're going to vote for come May.

I don't think anyone has a bloody clue what Labour's plan forward is, apart from to slate rich people and bleat about how much better the NHS is under them. Which it patently isn't if you look at how they're running the Welsh NHS.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money. |

Which it patently isn't if you look at how they're running the Welsh NHS. Had his deficit reduction plan from 2010 been in any way successful then he would have been able to make big giveaways now. The fact it has failed spectacularly means he can't and campaigns like the UKIP one attached are credible mockery of Tory claims in 2010. Given Labour haven't announced their manifesto then I think it's unreasonable to expect their economic plan to be clear at this point. But there is a credibility gap for all the parties now. The cuts that are going to be required per the OBR in the next 2 years mean people have to be much more transparent - especially the Tories - over what is going to be cut and what is not. And people shouldn't fail to acknowledge how lucky George Osborne has been - especially in the last year. Inflation falling away, driven by an absolute collapse now in the price of oil; and virtually zero inflation meaning that real wages are increasing for example.
