Jeremy Hunt's Budget was more radical than it looked

I think where Faisal Islam uses the term 'more radical', I'd have 'making it up as it went along'

Faisal Islam was useless on SKY.

He hasn't changed.

Why the Beeb decided to employ him is beyond me.

As to the budget, as one of the pensioners paying increasing amounts of tax on my pensions I think they will regret this whole drag thing.

Ending the double taxation of work is arguably, all well and good, but if you've spent your life under that system, and you then get clobbered again as a result of being of pensionable age, you begin to feel a bit annoyed. I will not be the only one feeling like this.
