I wonder it it'll be sugar-coated for the electorate :)

I'm sure there will be some things buried in the small print that will require us to bend over and take it. There always is.

Got a car? A house? A dog? Smoke? Drink? Eat? Expect to be hammered.

I expect it will be a tax neutral budget with little to say. I will be at the IFS Post budget analysis the next day and it will be interesting to see what they think of it.
