Spring budget 2024: Five key points 

£650 in a year is about what we pay in a month extra nowadays for fuel , food , insurance etc so that ain’t much help .

5 key points are 1: We 2: Are 3: All 4: Absolutely 5: Fucked

They’re so unbelievably out of touch it’s depressing.

£450 a year while we pay £2000 a year more just for heating what a joke!!! Not to mention mortgage and many other things vote them out!!!!!! Millionaires understands working class people 😂

I've just saved £650 a year! Wow... I bet the bosses of the energy companies can piss that up the wall within a minute.

With council tax going through the roof that £650 is wiped out in one stroke! These people haven’t got a clue, and that goes for the whole gravy train House of Commons!

No Labor. No Tory. Only change.

The public have seen prices rise for non luxury essentials by over 20% in real terms. Mortgage costs dramatically increase in some cases by 300% due to £400 Billion in spending during the lockdowns and inflationary pressure. We now pay more for less, this budget doesn’t even touch the sides. If Starmer and his equally inept lot get into power it won’t get any better! We need radical change!

Lots of nice juicy big contracts for Sunaks families INFOSYS company I noticed!

Awful just awful

For the record, UK National Insurance is used to pay for: - The National Health Service - Unemployment Benefit - Sickness and disability allowances Understanding what these announcements mean is important because this one is an announcement of funding /cuts/ to those benefits as a UK citizen, not extra funding to bring it back up to normal, further cuts. They /could/ hard close any tax loopholes via offshore accounting, create dynamic corporation tax structures that scale like personal income tax so that large corps heavily in profit can balance small startups that are struggling. Or hell, even merge NI into income tax (which is what NI basically is but raising tax sounds scary to voters) so that people understand what large scale changes are actually needed rather than just a bunch of little changes that aren't fully understood happening. Add to that, you (the citizen) are getting paid £54 per month to not whine about or ultimately change your voting habits from the last decade. Congrats! Maybe it's time we started reading up on what political parties actually achieve in their terms, not what they advertise they'll do (see the brexit bus) before we're complicit in literally driving the UK into a depression. In 2025, the US debt cap is re-assessed. It almost defaulted last time until the extension was agreed to 2025 (which would be horrifying for everyone that uses it on the global stage, ie. the UK). In that time, we've been panic off-loading this massive debt problem to other nations via lend leases and security deals (Ukraine, Israel etc). If the profits from this off-loading and our GDP combined doesn't out-pace the debt ceiling, it's gonna make 2008 look like a cake walk. As it won't be the price of housing, it will be the price of money itself (i.e. everything). But you've registered to vote so you can take part in making sure this kind of bait and switch government behaviour doesn't keep happening, right?

And in the meantime your savings are gobbled up by greedy insurance company hikes.

And yet, £35b (ish) was 'wasted' on a computer programme NOT a full system, just a SOFTWARE programme. Yeah right . Really look forward to that smirk going bye bye

RHUBARB RHUBARB RHUBARB , oh by the way Mr Hunt do I have you to thank for the additional -25p per week my husband receives now he is 80 years old, he’s not exactly sure what to do with at present , suggestions On a postcard perhaps !!!

That red handbag suits him

Arrest Him!

What a great great guy, giving people an extra cup of coffee a week, keep muggin people off

Disgraceful cutting national Insurance, all the public services that are funded via this will have further continuous reduced funding because of it.

What the is the point in cutting National Insurance? They should be raising the tax threshold or cuttng the income tax rate if they want to help people? I always thought National Insurance was for the NHS?

AWFUL

What a massive Hunt.

how can they talk so loosley about nhs and yet the world sends billions overseas? help your own country AND THIS IS A iMIGRANT TELLING YOU

Rearranging the deckchairs on the the Brexit Titanic, everyone knows that the country is sinking and that there aren't enough lifeboats.

I joke about the French as much as the next Englishman, but their tactics and herd mentality look so appealing. I'm just a normal guy. Not rich. Not destitute. But when I struggle to save or enjoy myself when I work 60+hrs a week, out the house for 14hrs a day somethings wrong. My life is work. And millionaires up top can't prove why they're deserving of our taxes. I won't give anymore of myself to these clowns. Vive la resistance 😂

Give in one hand take from the other , same old Bull

Oh yet, an ISA that I can't use because we have no f'ing money to save!

O no Just missed out Am retired State pension and private pension After working 45 years Am tax again Suppose I better join the food bank.......

3:09 and the petrol stations will conveniently raise there price by 5p just so that 5p saving means absolutely nothing , they did that the last time .

And what does hunt rhyme with, says it all really!

So pretty much nothing as usual.

Yuck

Pensioner....Just got my Tax code....did a few calcularion to find out that the money I get from my pensions including the state pension after tax will be about £100 more per annum. Before Tax it looked pretty good by after tax no good at all, but at least I will be £100 better off next year. I reckon a lot of pensioners will not be impressed with the increased tax from last year. The budget will not alter the fact that in reality there is no increase at all....But no doubt some people may be worse off and some better off. I hope the better offs are from the less well off.

Yeah, the NHS needs more IT, not more STAFF! Have you learned NOTHING FROM BLAIR'S NHS REFORMS?

Post Brexit economy meant to be much better. What happened to all promises and all these money and opportunities? They delivered resection for taxpayers and free holiday for everyone else

they should have announced a scrapage of inheritance tax increase to 1.2 million to cover the astronomical increase in large cities , and 900.000 for outer

We are waiting for the Gold Rush,and the reversal of fortunes,only ours will all be legal.

FJH, is that it???? Tick tock, tick tock!!!!!!!!!!

Far to little Far to late. Time for these greedy grasping lets looks after our already rich beyond belief chums to go !!!!

2 pence??? Fark thanks mate

What a Hunt he is!

Tax tax tax.

It’s costing home owners £400 a month extra because of high interest rates. This budget is a total waste of time.

U want to help the most then lift the tax free band.

Imagine how much the 10 billion + pounds you gave Ukraine would of helped the NHS and OUR country.

We can flog endless Billions to Ukraine and Israel, but we must be grateful to update the NHS computer system and some 5p cuts.

Lady in green clearly has the hots for Jeremy, does she not?

Thanks Tories. Thanks Conservatives. Thanks Brexit.

£900 a year is £75 a month, while it's better than not having it (that number is an average as well) what does that get you really? They are cheering and clapping like the solved world hunger... not going as far as they think they are xx

proper knobs you lot

The only key point is the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

Its just waffle.

Nice briefcase. It'll be going into their pockets in a couple of days.

What a joke.. Alcohol never gets taxed because of effecting the pub trade 🤷🏻‍♂️ so why should other business have to pay more tax..

Completely pointless as they have allowed councils to increase council tax, we WILL be worse off.

"Oooo we're giving you an etra 650 a year! you should be so lucky!" - out of touch, out of their minds.

But you can spend 1 million on a tribute to a group of people who despise us.

As a pensioner I have saved nothing from his budget !

Keep your case mate before Christmas I nearly had everything and now

But yet the tax threshold should have been raised in scotland to match Englands and Wales and N/I..... as of now in scotland if you earn more then 42.5k a year you are taxed 42.5% on anything after......where as in England, wales, N/I it if you earn 50k per year you are taxed on 40% its a god dam joke in all honesty..... we as scots are part of great Britain are we not? But we are taxed more on less pay.... ridiculous

Loves he he goes from ‘cutting national insurance by pennies’ to 30+ billion for NHS😂

More money being poured into the insatiable NHS.

You people keep voting for these kind of people

I can't sleep I can't wait to Go to court looking forward to it

Love the way they sit there on a £300 a day hand out and tell US how OUR money will be spent. Make hay while the sun shines as its setting fast and people are waking up at an alarming rate.

How is cutting NHS waiting lists going to help with the dental industry when you can't even find an NHS dentist nowadays its a joke and the sad fact of it all is i can't see the Labour government doing any better the Conservative government has screwed the everyday people in to the ground and is leaving this country in taters.

He wont gwt involved in food prices and energy prices, WHY, BECAUSE THE HIGHER THE PRICES, MORE TAX FOR GOVERNMENT.

Well the rich have benefited from another budget.

You should have done this a long time ago to late richer get richer poorer get poorer

2p national insurance cut….

Groceries have doubled in a year, there making a fortune on food - especially when they can lower the price on food items every other month oh said item is £2.50 and your now selling it on deal for £2.00 if your making a profit on £2.00 that’s an extra 50p difference on top of that, and last year it was £1.25 .

It's not enough

And what are we all going to pay in the long run because everyone knows we will all pay in the long run, and that's for shure😢😢

Behind that smile is knife in the poor people back 🤧 who can't afford to pay for electric gas council tax Mafia 😕

that buget announced today for the NHS upgrade must NOT use fujitusi

Yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Bring back guy folks....

They need to provide frer accessable mental health for the front line workers

Additional allowance for British ISA when they historically underperform.

You damn well know we all aint here April 16th-19th 2029😅🛰🌌☄

How about a reduction back to 17.5% for VAT? That would make a difference. Increases should be cigarettes and alcohol as these are harmful luxuries.

The most embarrassing Budget in history.

Cut v a t.

Only elites and corporations will gain. As per usual. We the people will get screwed even more. If council tax alone keeps going up at 4.9 % every year, by the time i retire (if i live this long) my state pension won't be enough to cover council tax.

😂😂 alcohol and fuel duty frozen...

Freeze on alcohol and the Tories are on a winner in England! Sigh...

How can he smile ?

So for holiday let , is section 24 on holiday let from 2025 since can’t deduct the mortgages interests ?

Whoever takes over will still be saddled with the Truss inheritance. A poison chalice of power.

What a waste of time fuel duty frozen ?????? its went up twice in the last 2 weeks liar crooks

OUT OF TOUCH AND SOON OUT OF GOVERNANCE

Blah blah blah! Makes no difference in cutting taxes when everything is going up and pay packets aren't going up. All of our our tax money goes to the Ukraine government. 😑

Wow the budget for industry and migrants what do we expect from the Tories disgusting

Im out from this shitty place...

His photo with the red case he actually looks proud or delusional that he thinks or is making a difference (either way none of it will effect him ) these budgets should be made by people who it effects not a twat with a case full of bearer bonds

"You have decided" ffs

Please can you bring down fuel gas and electricity and water 💧 Water is not coming from Ukraine 😮

Woooooow!!! Massive help!!! 😂😂🙄🙄

Managed decline

Blaming Ukraine for the energy costs is ludicrous when any thinking person knows that renewable and zero emmisions policies are the cause. Only 4% of UK energy came from Russia. UK govts are responsible but they'll fix it if we pay more tax 🤣 They all think we're stupid.
