Give Barry time He's got to read up at Conservativehome to form some sort of opinion on this budget. No doubt a contrarian view will emerge.

We need to re engage with the electorate (or they do)

Allister Heath tweeted this earlier:
"Osborne's shown yet again that he doesn't really have a supply-side bone in his body".
Sums it up really.

Peter - I would if I was in the Commons bear pit and so would you I am sure. The Commons is pure theatre after all, a place for debate and drama. The serious work is done in committees.

Philip - you really are making a very desperate point there. I need to know the implications of the budget for professional reasons and must look at the small print not in the speech as that is where the most important stuff is. Just been looking at a summary and the Alistair Heath point seems fair - he has still not done enough on the supply side. This is what I have been saying for years now, supply-side reforms are essential and not enough is being done. Osborn should, again as I have said many times, be standing up to the LibDems on this.
Anyway - back to some detail on the budget after a bite to eat. 6 bulletins to absorb from professional, not political, sources.

Good point Keith. But isn't that why they all spend so much on spin?

What hope is there when so called intelligent people think that is the way debate should be conducted. Maybe they behave like that having spent most of the morning 'networking' in their subsidised bar and thought it was fine to behave like drunken idiots.

March 2013..........non event.........Osbornes previous 3 budgets all non events ...
except the humilitating pastie budget.....all 4 budgets have had no positive effect on
economic growth.....Chancellors statement ```Government borrowing is down is a lie.
All previous budget predictions have all been wrong.
Ossie`sprediction for growth in the near future is 0.6 %......probability ....minus % age.
Conservatives are the master race for propaganda but little substance.
Majority of their policies over the last 2 years have been ill-conceived and ``U``turns
It is obvious they cannot go to the required Plan ``B`` because it would be the end
of their political carees..........they are not doing any service to the UK.......

You're probably right.
But what will it be replaced with?
Another cobbled together government?

Dungerness won't get another nuclear plant, Paul.

The article simply confirms what I stated, Paul: there won't be a Dungeness C.

Peter, there is alarmingly increasing phenomena of dead sea animals being washed up on the West coast of South America, particularly Chile.
Any idea? Try thinking radioactive....and go back a few years...then figure out natural disaster(s) that struck simultaneously and how man-made technology failed the test of nature.
And then try explaining the sanity of placing a new nuclear reactor right on the edge of England's shoreline, sticking out into the sea. Ahem!
