I did the calculator and was shocked that Ian is £1000 worse off and I am only £230 worse off plus inflation. I believe the average is £405 so does that mean those on higher incomes take less of the pain? Can't be right. Ian (entwi) is consierably richer than I!!!!

One thing seems clear, most people if not all are worse off by a considerable amount. What is worrying is growth has been downgraded 3 times now just for this year. From 2.6% to 1.7% and falling.
