Default New budget in July

Is this where we get totally screwed with some new rises? He says it's for the changes he promised before the election but why do we need a budget for that?

It will be to announce the fiscal measures that will enable him to attain his deficit/borrowing targets

They explicitly ruled out tax rises so it will have to be done with "savings" which is simply another term for cuts in (social) services

Where they come from we shall see, I suspect a reduction in "in work benefits" across the board - child benefit, disability benefits etc

I never voted Tory, but can afford anything they throw at me, so please no whinging from the Tory fanboys in their white vans that put them in.

Yeah, hopefully to announce reducing the amount claimable in benefits to £23,000pa. Even though that itself is a lot more than a lot of people get paid doing a 40 hour shift. Yet they have to pay their own mortgage/rent.


Hopefully capping child benefits for the first 2 children only. That way it'll deter those popping out babies every year to claim more money.

Hopefully they will stop sending 23 pounds every day to overseas
And sending 55 millon pounds every day to the EU (and getting half back)

Imagine what Cameron could do useful with 78 million per day

But that's to simple isn't it
