Invest in the nhs, new facilities, buildings, machines and those to operate them, get people healthy again and get them back into the workplace.
Fantastic.

Some initial reaction from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation on the budget...
Responding to the Chancellor’s Budget, Paul Kissack, Chief Executive of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation said:
“Today’s actions won’t be enough to fix the foundations for millions who struggle winter after winter in devastating hardship. The Chancellor is right that change must be felt. The people who needed to feel the most change are those living in and at risk of hardship.
“Limiting the devastating impact of deductions is a good step. There was also welcome investment in social homes, help for carers to work and care, and a rise in the minimum wage.
“It’s deeply worrying that we haven’t seen changes to social security that will seriously bring down hardship. In particular private renters will feel let down by the choice to keep Local Housing Allowance frozen meaning that it will become further out of step with local rent levels, which have soared in recent years.
“People receiving sickness benefits also face a fearful future at a time when almost two thirds of those experiencing destitution have a long term health condition. The government has failed to explain how they will save £3bn from the benefits bill and will offer no certainty and more anxiety rather than the respect they deserve”.

Better than shooting me ...... The big crux is frozen tax bands IMO will hit the low page worker .... notice they will lift them in their last year of this term ....
The Tories reduced it unfunded ....1.2% N.I increase? No -- 13.8% to 15% is a 9% increase
CGT from 10% to 18% is an 80% increase & 20% to 24% is a 20% increase.
I think this will be just the beginning and I suspect many entrepreneurs will be off to Dubai etc.
80% CGT is an amazing increase

Do find it almost comical how people genuinely react to the cost of beer increase or decrease, like what the government does has any real effect on the price you pay in a pub, unless you're drinking like Shane McGowan you'll save or lose at most about £4-5 maximum over a year due to a budgetary change.
Geoff Capes budgie tree ain’t looking too good lately
The big-eared boys on farms seem to be upset about something. Upset enough that Clarkson has chimed in against it, which means it's probably a good thing for the country.
These are valid concerns, but balanced by recognising positives. Of course Rowntree will push for more, it's their mission essentially.

A sneaky trick not to specify where the welfare cuts are coming.
Poor families with > 2 kids
Pensioners
Welfare recipients
...all will bear the brunt of cuts to come.
Austerity.
If it's unspecified how do you know where it falls?
One might argue working to reduce or remove the need for UC for in work people would help.
Work should pay enough to live off.

Reeves nailed it at the start of her budget speech, skewering the Tories for their fraudulent lies and for not making the decisions they needed to, except for lining their own pockets.
The spending is clearly desperately needed to fix what has been broken by the Tories - the NHS, schools, education.
Anyone who didn’t see tax hikes coming is deluded.
Hope we see some positives from these measures, after a few years of personal pain.

Do you really think the need for UC payments to the working poor will be secured that way mate?
