We are starting to hear a bit more around the budget coming up on wednesday, one of the big new ones is changing the soical / Council tenants rents for higher earners, effectively meaning they will be charged market rates not subsidised rents.
I am sure some will disagree but surely the majority will see this as a good idea.

Given the lead by Labour in the general election on Inheritance tax, it was not hard to see the tories taking some sort of action.

Further cuts to the civil service are expected as well but we will see what changes to the tax thresholds are planned over the life of parliment as he makes good on his commitement to increase the 40% threshold to £50k by 2020 and to take the starting point of tax up as well.
The big question though has to remain is how they fund the NHS to the levels suggested in the election and what that means to the overall benefit system.
Budget will pave way for up to 100,000 Civil Service job cuts - Telegraph
