Another budget one. Sorry.

I keep seeing posts about how this budget will be so bad for us all, am I the only one who won't be (personally) directly affected? Or at least, in a negative way?

I get the issues around businesses and NI but I am a civil servant.

I will get a pay rise! Yep, you read that right. I earn NMW so my wages will go up.

And I don't have a 'gold plated ' pension.

I totally get there will be a lot affected but I can't be the only one who benefits can I?

I'm not sure how my original post differed from the second one. My family live in the US so my inheritance is on a US estate and therefore hmrc will never get their grubby hands on it, thank god.

It won’t be that gradual, much of it will be pretty instant.

My nursery bill has just gone up £800 per year as a direct result, and that’s with them absorbing some of the cost.

EVERYTHING - food, services, goods, fuel, mortgages is about to get more expensive.

and this is just labours opening gambit.

|Did you watch Question time after the budget OP, lady who employed 600 people said can not afford the extra NI so says has 2 choices, cut her work force and expect them to work harder to make up the loss, or take her business abroad, this is a seriously bad budget for us all, effects yet to show.

I was wondering when people would start seeing increased nursery bills

It took about 24 hours

That’s also just for one child FYI

This. I’m a farmer. It’s written into my contract with the supermarket that when my input costs go up the price paid to me will as well. Wages are our 2nd highest cost. So the cost of you basic staples will be rising in the supermarkets.
