It's the thing that most irks me about the Tories. They're not stupid. Philip Hammond isn't a moron, he knows it's complete bollox, a teenager can work out the concept of supply and demand. Yet he'll happily implement it for a headline and undoubtedly many average guys on the street will fall for what is complete nonsense. The people asked on the street and also post graduates in Bristol on channel 4 can't see it as bollox and have fallen for it. As soon as you heard that sh1t you knew it was sh1t. Oh yes, sellers will suddenly go out of their way to help buyers and either not be the first to up the asking price or not follow those who already have. May as well have kept the £600 mil tax receipts and put them to some use.

That is my experience of Labour. Why move the goalposts. I think the subject was investment.

Remember the tory pledge to clear the nation of debt within 5 years? The OBR forecast is that could happen by 2031. That would be sixteen years late.

Pretty uninspiring budget. Chuck a few quid at the NHS to keep it limping on for another 6 months- check. A headline grabbing but ultimately fairly piss poor attempt at grabbing young voters- check. Guaranteed to be all over the front page of the Mail and Express tomorrow. Oh, and a bone thrown to the plebs- no rise in alcohol prices- check. In context though, as long as the Tories don't back down or U turn in the next few weeks (as has been the case with the previous 3 budgets!) it'll go down as, if not a success, at least not a total failure

The CBI and the FSB said it is positive. CBI said it's time to grow our way out of austerity. This is not what has happened. They said change from RPI to CPI basis for rates ratcheting good, but don't forget the rates system is a mess to start with. The CBI's response was fairly muted. Good in terms of mentioning tech innovation and R&D. They've also said it's a wait and see on Brexit transition and industrial strategy. So it's basically not that bad from business. No tax increases so OK from them. But reality for people is pretty crap. It also doesn't address what CBI wanted pre-budget.
