    I have a feeling that this “uninteresting” budget will impact the general public in ways not clearly seen at the moment. You are correct that the NI change and the minimum wage don’t impact most people directly; but indirectly they make the average worker a much more expensive proposition than before to an employer.
    So it will be tempting for them to off shore jobs to cheaper countries (call centres in India etc) or more immigration from poorer countries to compete with indigenous workers thus driving down wages and the average wealth of the population. I think we can expect an increase in redundancies over the next few years.

It's more important and relevant as to whether she can do the job, not her gender! Indeed considering last position in employment, she must wonder what's she's done to obtain such an important position! Although she probably isn't wondering as much as the rest of us!

    Leveling inheritance tax on farm land above 1m (less than 20 acres in most of Southern England) will mean it will no longer be trendy for the rich and famous to buy up large tracks of farm land but will also be the end to the remaining UK family farms.

    I've not yet had time to investigate the smallprint for any background adjustments and concessions, but one group of people who I believe this will unfairly impact on is the one man band working through their own company. In the past, this may have been a setup for tax, but there are many instances today where a client company is only interested in contracting another company. As a one man band, they will not be entitled to the employer's allowance of £10,500, meaning the £5,000 drop to the threshold at which that NI becomes payable and the increase of the rate to 15% will cost a company earning less than £50,000 about £496. These are just ordinary people trying to get a job done. So much for not impacting on the working man/woman.

    Abolished Non Dom status for foreign multi millionaires Increased tax on private jets and toff schools.
    Ended the £200 tolerance for shoplifting.
    Increased IHT for farmers and some pension inheritors.
