Retailers

Can you mention any retailer of day to day items who is prepared to pass on the so called tax cuts. I think these changes aren't for Joe public but to make it easier for the traders to continue in business a little longer.
Am I wrong or have they said they will reduce the VAT on beer tobacco and fuel but increase the tax?

Its getting a bit silly now, everyday i feel like the governments just insulting our intelligence

These cuts don't take effect till Monday so retailers will have next to nobody in their shops this weekend

this VAT reduction will save dave consumer about 70p on a £30 bill. have i worked that out right?

Bravo Labour. Massively increase our government debt to borrow our way out of a recession caused by borrowing. Talk about digging yourself out of a hole. FFS.

I've been getting my usual dose of chronic 'wander-lust' again today, seriously been thinking of jacking in the lot, buying a tourer and F*&%'ing off until I run out of money (that unfortunately won't take long...)

The day I FINALLY clear my student debts will be an interesting one, as the ties keeping me here/in my current job will be lessened considerably.
