A real old scattergun of a Budget. No clear policy thread running through it at all.
Giveaways for some (shale gas explorers, middle income families with children, buyers of new build houses, beer drinkers), kicks in the teeth for others (further cuts to public sector budgets, pay rises capped at well below inflation).
Basically, a whole load of tinkering around the edges of the economy while it continues to lurch further away from the Government's own targets on growth and borrowing. Quite how Osborne has the cheek to insist that everything is still on track I don't know.
Mind you, when you've got News International on your side you can convince the public of anything (apparently the Sun front page this morning massively understated the debt position - accidentally or otherwise).

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.
