Just got in after a hectic day which I spent giving briefings and analysis on the finer points of today’s budget. Interesting (and depressing) how the Chancellor always manages to hide all the bad stuff in the press releases. This year, we had 81 Budget Notes, some of them containing the hidden tax news. The Chancellor has been very sneaky, as usual.
Off to bed now. Will post some more on the Budget tomorrow, if I’m not sick of it by then.

Who do you brief then bel ?…I `m feeling quite preened at the moment in that CU was nice about an economic thing wot I wrote. I think you will find that the press will have a very short dalliance with this budget they have little time to get the copy in and already by the evening the tone was changing.
Still If I were you I would have been staying up all night to give the world my views…. tsk tsk no commitment these uber Bloggers
