I read a piece in the finance pages of Scotland On Sunday on 24th October. It was be Teresa Hunter and in this piece she stated that the world will not come to an end as a result of the coalition government’s emergency budget or spending review.
The article was based on some calculations done by PricewaterhouseCooper for SonS. They looked at what will happen in April next year when most of the things talked about lately will actually start to impact on people.
And what a surprise: the analysis showed that a single person on £25k will be better off by £76 per week; a couple with 2 kids earning £40k will be £251 per week better off and a couple earning £75k between them will be £220 worse off.
Who says the coalition government have got things wrong then?
It’s not the end of the world
