Fuming about private jets and nondoms being targeted. Fuming.Rishi as animated as I've ever seen him. Jeremy Hunt's eyes look like they're about to pop.

No the land was purchased etc then scrapped and sold back off. The Hastings bypass is a joke.
Some budgets will never be enough for some people, but this is a very fair and even-handed first budget. The hard left won’t be happy with anything short of hardcore socialist policies, so just ignore them. As I say, the WFA implementation is a bit of a dark cloud, but that today was much better in terms of Reeves establishing Labour’s identity. Sane, dull politics.She didn’t go after the 3.6m business people who receive dividends.
Armchair lefties had spent a few weeks licking their lips that SME’s would be attacked with much greater taxes.
Imho Reeves acknowledging that they employ 60% of workers, make up over half of the private sector.
Appallingly short notice for anyone int he conveyancing game!From tomorrow SDLT extra rate goes from 3% to 5%.
My Antiques shop is in Rye. Recently a holidaying couple popped into the shop. The chap said he hadn't been to East Sussex for 20 years though he loves the area, then he remembered why, the awful roads.If ever I’ve travelled to lovely Rye, all the way back to the early 90’s, I bolt on an extra hour over reasonable expectations, for Polegate to Winchelsea.

I think the markets will like that a lot too, as well as the public.
Indeed.Not sure who wrote Rishi's speech, but I think the country voted pretty clearly that it was fed up of austerity-style cutting. That he's berating Reeves for not cutting like he would have is a remarkable lack of awareness.
Most of those on the left were just hoping for a solid and uncontentious, fair budget that started to take the UK into a direction that begins to address some balance between the haves and have nots after 14 years of rich Tories protecting their own and running the country ever deeper into debt.
Whilst raising bus fares, not the right thing to do IMHOSurprised at not raising fuel duty.
