I mean, this is lunacy. The UK has a shortage of doctors so what did the Tories do a few years back? They cut the number of university places to study medicine by about 15% because it is the most expensive degree to study.

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

My carefully considered, nuanced and balanced policy view is that we should tax gambling profits, including sports betting, at like 98% and one executive's kidney per quarter.

I went for a longer post-budget take last time. I think the conclusion still stands.
The potential criticism of today's budget is that it's further can-kicking. Maybe growth holds up and they manage to avoid touching income tax. Maybe.
