A couple of comments to add perspective to Jeremy Hunt’s Budget
Jeremy Hunt: this image is from his financial statement last autumn but the suit is the same, apparently.
This is just to provide a little depth to the Budget coverage yesterday:
£9 billion in tax cuts to corporations, £6 billion cuts to fuel duty & at least £2 billion tax cuts for pensions of highest earners & yet nothing from Hunt for teachers, lecturers, nurses, junior doctors & health workers & civil servants striking against low pay today. Appalling

Except for senior doctors that is. Who are being wooed back into work with the promise of being able to top up their pension pot.
Junior doctors, nurses, midwives etc not so much!!

Does that give you a clearer picture? There will probably be more of this over the next few days, weeks and months.
