I sensed that “dull” is how the Budget would remain. I was fighting a losing battle. If I mentioned the £100 million extra for science, incentives to encourage charitable giving, the enterprise zones (including Greater Manchester), funding for thousands more apprentices (250,000 by the end of the Parliament) or £250 million to help first time buyers get on the property ladder with support for raising deposits I might have sent him to sleep. We will have to wait and see what Newsnight has to say, but I’ll settle for “dull”.
Is Michael Crick Right? Was it a "dull Budget"?
