Oof. The employer's NI decision will cause some froth.

Reducing % of UC that can be taken in debt repayments.

Certain people will hate that one. But it is a good decision.

The NI changes for small businesses will upset the doom and gloom mongers who think Labour wants to destroy small businesses

Certain people need to learn some basic economics. 😂

Small businesses protected.

CGT increase.

Small businesses taken care of - threshold changed so more employers won't have to pay NI

And yet lots of them were fine with Brexit screwing small businesses for some fake idea of of sovereignty.

I think she is making some good decisions here.

Frothing thread already started.

Oh, good call, Rachel.

Some good decisions on IHT.

This is all good so far, isn’t it? Suspect the more frothing the better it is.

The frothing started as soon as she opened her mouth.

It is good. Some really sensible, pragmatic decisions. Good speech too, with a few jokes thrown in.

So much for the "they are coming for your house and savings".

Increased APD on private jets. Direct dig at Sunak there 😂

Private jets air duty goes up. This budget is really gunning for the super rich

I'm loving this. I think she's played a blinder. Leaked/pre-announced the stuff she knew would attract the most negative feedback and kept back the positive bits which balance out the decisions she's made

That made me laugh, Sunak wasn’t even listening!

Not changed the CGT on residential property. That’s one to shut the frothers up.

Non-dom tax regime abolished

Non dom tax regime removed

Tax on vapes. Have to go now will catch up later.

That will put the bots into overdrive.

I loved her speech about this and her quotes from the IsF
