@AndrewLilico :"As I listened to George Osborne speaking, I couldn’t help but wonder what he said that Alistair Darling couldn’t have said." — 2 months 2 days ago

My verdict: 5/10. Osborne was saying the right things in places, but the real test will be in people's wallets. — 2 months 2 days ago

Osborne and Cameron looking a little uncomfortable as Miliband pointing out borrowing £200b more than planned. — 2 months 2 days ago

Osborne clearly thinks that he's listened and been bold. But still too much complexity in system. Will it have impact on household budgets? — 2 months 2 days ago

Osborne is wrapping up "we are on your side", "a budget for an aspiration nation". Wat was Pickles saying about not talking in slogans? — 2 months 2 days ago

Personal allowance will hit £10k in April 2014. £700 less in tax than when came to power. Good news. Balls & Miliband looking nonplussed — 2 months 2 days ago

Beer duty is being cut by a penny. To the pub! ;) #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

Fuel duty rise cancelled in September again as expected. Victory for @halfon4harlowMP, but at £1.40 per litre, British won't be cheering — 2 months 2 days ago

This government will be using taxpayers money to guarantee mortgages. Prepare for a UK version of the subprime fiasco. — 2 months 2 days ago

Osborne annoucing help to buy homes. Committing £3.5b to shared equity loans to anyone with 5% deposit. — 2 months 2 days ago

@bbcpropaganda Osborne hasn't understood that internet allowing more and more people to shop around for lower tax rates. — 2 months 2 days ago

Flat pension rate of £144 brought forward to 2016 #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

Osborne will be naming and shaming those who promote tax avoidance schemes. Why not just simplify tax code and close loopholes? #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

Rich paying more under this government than under Labour. Stopping tax avoidance / evasion measures. — 2 months 2 days ago

Little bit of bank bashing there, seemingly not going out of fashion on either side of chamber any time soon. #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

Osborne wants to send message that Britain is open for business - by dropping Corporation tax to 20% from April 2015. But why wait? — 2 months 2 days ago

If Osborne understands the stimulating effect of tax breaks in some areas, why not apply logic across economy and really get Britain going? — 2 months 2 days ago

help for employers / employees through various tax breaks for small businesses. Also very welcome. #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

Shale Gas Field Allowance and planning guidelines to allow local communities to benefit. Good to see Osborne getting behind shale — 2 months 2 days ago

Some indistrial processes have been exempted from climate change levy. Gov picking winners? What about householders? — 2 months 2 days ago

As Laffer pointed out, if gov is spending money somewhere, it's been taken from elsewhere in the economy. Thus is zero sum. #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

note introduction of 'rolling' into 5 year plan. Makes it essentally meaningless as eternally moveable. #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

deficit fallen from 11.2% GDP, forecast 2.2% by 2017/18 - good, but missing target to wipe out by next election by a mile. #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

for every one job lost in pub sec this year, six created in private sector. more people in work than ever before #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

UK exporting more to non-EU countries than EU countries admits Osborne. Not going to play well against UKIP challenge #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

Osbourne planning to annouce budget for aspiration nation. Keep going, George, we're listening... #budget2013 — 2 months 2 days ago

Osborne stating will be using supply side reforms - clearly hes been reading our recommendations! Promising so far but can he live up to it? — 2 months 2 days ago

Listing achievements: deficit cut by 3rd, 1.2mil new jobs — 2 months 2 days ago

Here we go. #Budget2013. Osborne starts by annoucing will be budget for those who want to work hard and get on. — 2 months 2 days ago

@bbcpropaganda true, but with the state of economy as it is, need to stop stifling commerce with taxes as much as possible. — 2 months 2 days ago

#PMQs Cameron regretting his Tweet remarks I guess! Bit of a rowdy crowd in HoC today. — 2 months 2 days ago

@bbcpropaganda even Lady T was only human :) — 2 months 2 days ago

#PMQ's: gain by raising personal income allowance has been wiped out by raise in VAT and inflation. Too little from Conservative Chancellor. — 2 months 2 days ago

@cavendishpc no no - tweeting that author of our recommendations @DonnaInSussex would LIKE to see a flat rate of tax in Budget 2013! — 2 months 2 days ago

Labour asking for 'tax cut to millionaires' be cut. Cameron responds 'higher rate is higher than under Labour' Not a good thing, Cameron! — 2 months 2 days ago

@libdemsalter only works for those who can afford to buy new efficient cars. Millions can't. It's a tax on poverty. — 2 months 2 days ago
