Hardly. An income tax cut for 70% and a stamp duty abolition for 95%.
The only place that doesn't affect "the vast majority" must be where George Osborne lives!Please be polite to OPs and remember this is a site for Claimants and Appellants to seek redress against their bank, ex-boss or retailer.

Which undermines Mersey's claim that 'the majority of people' will be helped by this.0
