UK Budget 2023: The Main Points

'UK Budget 2023: The Main Points'

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has used a £25-billion-a-year improvement in public finances to expand access to childcare and offer tax breaks to businesses and wealthy pensioners.

The 2023 Budget is aimed at increasing the numbers of people in work.

However, the size of the UK economy is still expected to shrink this year and living standards are the worst on record.

Idk why people think capping energy at £2500 per year is a bonus. Not to long ago I wasn't paying no more than £600 per year. Now I gotta pay £1900 more and I'm supposed to be great full. Have people forgotten what they were paying

We are in recession. Costs are through the roof and wages are stagnant

[zoolook]

It does not really matter who is in power....the opposition always seem to have all of the answers and all of the solutions! ....but when elected they are just as clueless as each other! ...But both sides get rich regardless and show complete contempt for us!

Independence is always better than dependence...

OK Mr. Government I never voted for, and the government no one wants. Step aside while you still have a little bit of dignity!

[stephenwebster]

we willl not go into a recession this year. only because we are already in one

[Deathwish]

why are we paying so much for energy when energy companies are having record multi billion £ profits ?

Even when he smiles, I want to replace the 'H' in his surname with a 'C'. These people make me sick to my stomach, they really do.

Cannot wait to vote this lot OUT in 20 24

Best bunch of unelected liars we've had in years .

Small, though significant carrots promoted, the deeper hidden agenda hidden. Nothing unusual. I am of pension age, and candidly I miss the 1980s where what I earned, ca £10, 000 a year, covered a lot more than now, despite my earning over £40, 000 a year. We are getting poorer, and I do not know why.

we've all had a pretty grim year says chancellor, whose boss Rishi Sunak just paid to upgrade the electricity grid in his North Yorkshire constituency to power his new heated swimming pool.
We feel your pain Rishi - The struggle is real.

Children out here starving and they’re laughing at our faces

[roysanderson]

Why has he always got a sickly grin on his face. We've all had enough of this tory government.

"We will not enter recession. Because we followed the American's lead and changed the definition."

[LogicPak]

Recession is when your next door neighbour loses their job, depression is when you lose yours.

[chickedee]

Oh look yet another budget that benefits the rich and keeps the poor poor.

[Evelynlouise]

0:08 reminds me of when u pick your child up from school and they’re stood there so proud waiting to show u the scribble they did on paper.

[Lionboy]

here is an example of how prices are rising : 8x4 ft x 12.5mm plasterboard was roughly £9 last yr £7 in 2021, they are about £15 per sheet now, . 4" blocks have doubled in price too .

[gwaredd]

Jeremy Hunt.. shuffling the funds so he can build a third Death Star.

[chrisblyth]

I'm still waiting to hear how Labour will tackle the economy .
