Martin Lewis’s Mini-Budget Instant Explainer

- Stamp Duty cut (Eng & NI) how it’ll work
- National Insurance & Income tax changes, how it affects you

[tarana]

Thank you, Martin. I hear commentators are taking offence at your bank balance. I can say you are one of the few public figures who deserve whatever it is you have in there. You have served-actually served not just pretend served, us dutifully for years. I'd vote for you any day!

[appoNo]

Thank god, the bankers will survive the winter 😒

[johnbhoy]

Martin you are the only person working in media that is honest and has a conscience, such a shame the vast majority of Media do not possess the same qualities

[patmartin]

Thanks Martin, you work so hard campaigning and keeping us all informed in plain speaking.

Thank you Martin. You are the only person in the Media I trust, and understand. You have saved me so much money over the years. Keep up the great job.

[JellyLancelot]

Thanks as always Martin and the lovely folks on the MSE team working hard to keep us all informed!

thanks as always for clarifying things, infuriating changes, especially reducing the taxes on high eearners by 5%, but only 1% for the lower earners. Absolutely criminal.

Does nothing for people who are not earning or don't owe or are likely to own a house, those that need help the most. Thanks Martin

[chrisbluebird]

Very well articulated; I wish I had more time for trial and error, but I'll be 56 in October and I need ideas and advice on what investments to make to set myself up for retirement, especially with the looming inflation and recession; my goal is to have a portfolio of at least $500k at the age of 60.

[garycarmichael]

So all these tax cuts are going to mean cuts in services. Hospitals, schools, public transport etc are all going to see more cuts.

[Acolyte]

Thank you Martin, because you made this mini-budget easily understandable, explaining easily so we can all understand and, whatever age. Even my teenage daughters who have a loathing for mathematics enjoy listening to you. Your channel is a massive blessing to my family and doubtless many others. Very best wishes, with grateful thanks, Wendi UK 🌻

[eleanorkidd]

Of course no mention of a cut in VAT, the only tax cut that might be helpful to low and no earners!

[DanTheStripe]

90% of the stuff you talk about doesn't apply to me, but as an Economics student I'm absolutely engrossed in it. You're a top man Martin.

[macartancaughey]

Martin you are working hard keeping us all up to date Thanks

[salus]

Basically if you're well off, this budget has been tailored for you

[bigpants]

I'm sure the people who cant afford to eat or pay their energy bills will be delighted at the new stamp duties!

[davefranklin]

It would be nice to see you on Charlie’s first honours list Martin - I feel your service to the British public more than warrants it!

[europainvicta]

At last! A brexthick benefit. The bankers get uncapped bonuses. It was worth it after all.

[garyrobertshaw]

Cheers Martin and thanks for all you do to keep us upto date. Keep on at the government
