So... George Osborne will be standing up to deliver this year's Budget at 12.30pm, with announcements expected on property tax, stamp duty and the personal tax allowance. Here's what you were hoping (and dreading) would come up; time to find out whether George has been reading Wink

We'll be watching the Budget over here and posting about the key announcements for those who are at work unable to view the live stream; come join us, and tell us how you think he's doing ...

24 tax rises introduced since Osborne became chancellor, he says. 350,000 people going to food banks. 400000 disabled people paying the bedroom tax. Cuts to tax credits, too. Only group better off are millionaires.

Manufacturing, construction, infrastructure investment all down. House building actually at lowest level since 1920s, and rents have risen at twice rate of wages. THis is a recovery for the few, not the many, Miliband says.

"an economy of the privileged, for the privileged, by the privileged."

we needed a budget to make the long-term changes the country needs, but the Tories won't do it, says Miliband; they won't stand up to vested interests.

"Will you rule out a further tax cut for millionaires to 40p?" asks Miliband, asking the prime minister to nod his head if he will. Cameron's head appears to be motionless.

Miliband's talking about Eton now - more old Etonians in the cabinet than there are women ..
