I can appreciate people's concerns surrounding the budget. Especially those who run businesses. It could have been better for some but there's no way to please everyone, especially given the year we've had.

Whilst it could have been better it could have been a whole lot worse. Being Chancellor's not a job I'm remotely qualified for and it's most certainly not one I'm interested in.

All in all I think the one we've got's trying his best. Whether that's good enough only time will tell. As a society we'll be paying for the consequences of Covid for a long time to come.

The budget kicks the can further down the road for many who can't afford to pay for it today. But we've got to face up to the fact we're all going to pay some day.
