The reaction to yesterday's budget has got everyone talking.
The budget – which had been leaked before Chancellor Rachel Reeves reached the dispatch box – included plans to raise the State Pension by 4.8%, National Wage to rise by 4.1% and the current two child Universal Credit limit is to be lifted.
Prescription charges will remain the same, but those making use of the ISA saving system will lose out - from April 2027 if you are under 65 years old, the amount you can put into a cash ISA will fall from £20k to £12k.
In 2027 there will be more tax on savings interest, and from April 2028, owners of properties worth in excess of £2million will be forced to pay more with a new Council Tax surcharge.
Electric vehicle owners will also face a new charge based on mileage use.
