          Much easier than getting Amazon, Starbucks and Vodafone to pay their tax.

          I honestly think Corbyn could hardly do any more harm to the freelance community.

            I reckon the one and only reason they say they're supposely ending austerity (as if there ever was much if any!) is to dangle the threat of reinstating it in the event of a no deal Brexit.

            Combine that with a second referendum that includes a remain option, and quite a few stupid gullible sheep voters, even some Brexiters, might be swayed to vote Remain.

              I expect them to feck up Entrepreneurs Relief - which was brought in to deal with removal of CGT taper relief, but who remembers it niw?

                    Alternatives for that new leaving the EU 50p coin wording of "Friendship with all nations" should be changed to

                    "You lost get over it"

                    or

                    "Nobody likes us we don't care"
                    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                      Leaked backgriund is very wirrying - “Budget 2018: Hammond set to give 30 million taxpayers Brexit boost by bringing forward income tax cuts”

                      That means in reality there will be heavy tax increases

                      DOOMed!

                      P.S. 3:30pm is the Budget time, outrageous change
