    One thing confused, earlier he said that benefits and pensions would be linked to CPI at the time I assumed this meant State pension? what pension was he talking about.

    "They", whoever they are .... never seem to bother saying how things will affect a single person, living alone, earning £14-17k. We don't count.

    People just go to Calais to stock up if duty is to high.
    Only if those people are near Calais, or similar port. Most people aren't near a port, are they?

    28% for higher rate earners, remains at 18% for basic rate.

    no reliefs or taper, but allowances remain the same.
