Budget next week

Abolish the Royal Family.

At last!! Something we have in common,*Frank*!

Demolish jails.
Dump prisoners in the middle of the Atlantic on boats without engines.

Now you're just being silly, Frank.

He's back to normal!

Flick just one update on your post, if you extend your house you do not pay extra council tax but as soon as it is sold the council revalue it and the new owner will have to pay more if the band is changed.

well he's delivered his speech. Must admit that I am mystified why last week there was a move to introduce a minimum price on alcohol and now wee Georgie had reduced the price of beer.
Some welcome concessions on tax I guess.
Don't understand why the infrastructure investment is not on housing - except that the other kinds (road, rail etc) are so slow to get going maybe they wont actually have to spend anything in this parliament?
Wish, wish, wish they would stop battering the word 'reform' into the ground. You have already clubbed it to death boys, really, just let it decompose in peace.

It's hard to judge it yet isn't it - there's always so much detail in the Red Book that changes the initial impression. I'm not sure about how wide the net should be cast for help with house buying- £ 600,000 does sound a lot - people could afford houses with spare rooms at that price!

Spare BEDrooms I meant of course
