Hammond has bottled the NI increase on the self-employed. Truly bizarre and now leaves a £145m gap in the budget,

Can't wait to see how easily he gets out of what is, at best, a humiliating u-turn.

They'll just target Insurance premium tax again, as they have done for the last 3 years.

He will get an easy ride from MSM but will PIP ,S get the same help? I doubt it, not an area the Tories care much about.

Purely political, one group who will heavily lean to wards the Tories.  I'm surprised Hammond wasn't advised of this before the Budget.

The other group he will have pissed off is those with dividend income but hopefully he won't succumb to the pressure from them.

I've just seen some chinless wonder from the backbenches on the news saying it shows he's a strong chancellor because he can recognise when he was wrong and do a U-turn on it :lol:

Apparently, at this stage, a Rutte/D66/two Christian parties the most likely to form governing coalition.

Though since WW2, average coalition forming time has been 72 days...
