    Already announced, 18% down to 10 and 28% down to 20, apart from 2nd and further houses, no further changes since too soon. Probably a good idea, especially taking out property speculation. If he announces anything worse for ordinary taxpayers, that Osborne has already pencilled in, the new administration honeymoon will end pretty fast. Besides May has already raised expectations for savers.

    Not a budget. It's the Autumn Statement. A review of the UK's finances.
  • There's got to be more help for savers on the horizon. Possibly some type of bond issue from NS&I, an/or an increase in the Premium bond limit. The banks always cried foul when the Government offered more competitive rates but as they are simply not interested in retail deposits anymore NS&I have more scope.

    You've got two hopes and one of them's Bob!

    The government can borrow cheaper than NS&I and there's no election due.
