Scottish Child Benefit Supporting 740 Children in Orkney

Have read a free things about the budget. My favourite takeaway so far so far is “Rachael from accounts”.

Interesting to observe that the to-be-introduced per-mile EV tax will add 50% to the cost of driving at today’s rates- assuming you pay 25p/KWh and get 4 miles per KWh. Less if you’re not charging at home, mind.

I’m not too fussed. The treasury are going to lose out big time on fuel duty as EV adoption rises, this tax was only a matter of time. And by the time it comes in (when, not if) cars and batteries will have got better - lighter, more efficient, more kWh/Kg.

Worth noting that Sterling is up against the US Dollar and Euro. So, markets are scared by this #UKBudget

(Unlike the Truss budget that tanked the UK bond market. A reminder to #NeverTrustATory )

With the significant exception of freezing tax thresholds, the #UKBudget seems very carefully crafted to extract revenues from those with the most discretionary incomes and most expensive houses.

Meanwhile, massive boost to pensioners and the lower paid workers.

IMO, a very solid Labour budget.

Thank goodness - I was so worried: houses worth >£2M are going to be subject to an annual tax of

wait for it

£2500.
A fiver a week.

Edit: decimal place error - £50 per week

It'll cost slightly less to administer than it'll raise.

Terrifyingly, Rachel Reeves seems to be in favour of PFI for NHS projects. This is proof that she is not competent to run a bath, let alone the UK fisc.

The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is also a chance to assess and reduce the UK’s dependence on large US corporations for vital government infrastructure.

Other countries like France and the Netherlands are already debating how to do this, such as through open source software.

As we saw with the AWS outage, we need digital sovereignty to keep the UK economy switched on.

The UK government must take cybersecurity seriously to get growth.

Key to this is strong encryption for all.

They must put guarantees in the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and quit trying to force a backdoor into secure systems like they did with Apple.

Otherwise we'll be open to more attacks.

Seeing safeguards over our data as barriers to growth is folly.

The UK's new Data Act has put into question the adequacy agreement with the EU.

Losing it would impose £1-1.6 billion in legal and compliance costs on UK businesses alone, as well as threaten EU-UK trade agreements and the Windsor Framework.

What’s data protection law got to do with the UK budget?

Information security requirements contained within are key to growth.

Just look at how the Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack hurt the UK economy.

That’s why the data watchdog must start enforcing these rules properly.
