Our review of the Budget

No rabbits, no hats and few jokes from the Chuckle Brother of decline.  Brian Jukes was not impressed, in fact he was irritated…..

In episode 2 of The Daffernomics Podcast, Martin Gibbs, Brian Jukes, Emily Ball-Goldfinch and Scott Whitmore pick over the bones of what might prove to be the last Budget before the General Election.

Once again the headline from this Budget was leaked in advance as Jeremy Hunt cut Employees’ National Insurance by a further 2% from April 2024, matching a previous 2% cut in January 2024.

Dafferns Review of the March 2023 Budget

Martin Gibbs, Brian Jukes and Keely Hughes give their take on the March 2023 Budget

This was a Budget that clearly attempted to tackle the most significant issues affecting the UK economy right now, even briefly mentioning the need to settle industrial disputes and get people back to work, although obviously with no measures announced as to how that will be achieved other than focusing on cutting inflation.

The November 2022 Autumn Statement

Still highly relevant in March 2023 – this was the Dafferns team’s reaction to the 2022 Autumn Statement, as new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt attempted to bring the UK out of recession, rebuild the economy and reduce the national debt.

It is often said that there is a fine line between genius and madness. Never before in my working lifetime have I considered that comparison to be more appropriate to UK fiscal policy
Having just sat through the so called Mini Budget I can summarise my reaction by a mixture of shock and fear – fear for the future of the UK if the Government’s tax gamble doesn’t pay off, shock in that I have never seen such a dramatic change of direction before
