What would you like to see in the budget.

I'd like to see investment in the NHS and all the public services that have been kept short of money by the tories over the past 12 years. We need to spend or way out of recession (Keynes) , not make people and services even more poor.

And dropping of this ridiculous notion of there being a 'hole' in the nation's economy. It's just accounting fiction.

Won't happen, of course...

Lower business rates for nursery provision, equate the energy prices for those on prepay meters to market rate.

Definitely not measures for austerity - neither necessary nor sensible.

Proper windfall tax on the energy producers, tax the international companies like Amazon on the basis of the revenues raised in the UK, cancel the tax loophole of "non dom status", increase the top rate of income tax to 50%, raise tax thresholds for low and middle income earners.

Pursue furlough fraud and crooked covid contracts, Invest in insulating homes, building more social housing, training more doctors and nurses, repairing school buildings and making the most of renewable energy resources.

I would like to see MP's expenses reduced and perks removed - absolutely no more subsidised bars or restaurants for them. Until they give up these benefits, they are in no moral position to impose cuts on the rest of us.

No, I know such things would never be in the budget anyway, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be!

A commitment to improved funding for health and social care.

I think that the NHS needs a major re think in lots of ways.

It would be good to see it removed from Government control and run on a cross-party basis and rethought before deciding to just through more money at it.
