Er, I mean, budget...

Almost halving the threshold for Employers NI is a pretty effective way to totally opps over business growth. Which in turn will mean fewer people employed and will cost the State more in welfare whilst also reducing overall productivity and in turn revenue, not only for those businesses, but also the State by way of reduce tax income.

Cue a very slow, sarcastic hand clap.

You'd like to think they were being ironic... Unfortunately they aren't.

These people are like football managers. There's a finite amount of them, so they just get recycled between clubs. 'Your last club got relegated but it wasn't your fault? Ok, you'll do'

Which is what HS2 needs to survive until completion of the current route from Brumingham to Wormwood Scrubs (the bit into Euston isn't funded yet).  So makes perfect sense to put him there, as he can then tell the government how wonder the pointless vanity project is.

We all know it needs scrapping.

In the news

David Goldstone, who was announced in the Budget as chairman of the Office for Value for Money, will be paid £950 a day for an average commitment of one day a week, the Treasury said yesterday. The compensation amounts to £49,400 over the course of a year - equivalent to a full-time salary of £247,000 and significantly more than Sir Keir Starmer's £166,786 salary.
