To true. It's as bad as every year.

Does anyone know what the help is for FTB mortgages? Heard they had something in the budget but they didn't say what?

Nice one Daz

Could be of some use.

That's the one. It's installed already - somewhere.

I'm disappointed that they didn't reduce the 3% stamp duty to 1% .

This is choking the housing market in the southeast. It's pretty pointless giving tax breaks to first time buyers if the people they are buying from can't afford to move on in the chain. Most people including ourselve can't sell because no one is prepared to pay the £12k stamp duty on our home.

Why tax pints ?

If you are going to raise alcohol revenues, raise it fior particular brands where people drink to excess such as Lambrini, WKD and various others.

Let the sensible drinker off for a change, even if it is only for a while.
