Is anyone else worried the upcoming budget will cause the sale of your house to fall through?
If everything lines up we are due to complete first week of Dec but I’m just waiting for news it’s all going to fall through.

I agree with you. I think it's the only way they will be able to force cuts through. People simply won't accept cuts or tax rises unless there is a crisis.

Saw Scottish Labour guy, can"t remember his name, on SKY earlier saying that if KS doesn"t persuade Trump to stay invested in NATO things like the triple lock would have to be scrapped to provide adequate defence budgets.
