Ok, definitely my final comment on this latest budget fiasco.

In response to wealthier critics who are still smarting over tax increases - the OBR was enshrined in law in 2011 as a politically neutral (?) body independent of government to prevent manipulation of the data for political purposes.

He’s made himself look an absolute Wally here. Why would you pose like this for a newspaper?

This piece is excoriating. His bs gets taken apart piece by piece.

All I hear is the whinging of a “poor rich little me” type.

He can cry me a river.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

The Pigeon Post is giving the last word on the budget to some wallah from THE TIMES, interviewed this morning on Times Radio. He bemoaned how the budget for benefits will deny hard working folk their dream of owning second homes!

Maybe they will now empathise with folk who struggle to own one home?
