What I don't get is effectively increasing income tax for everyone via freezing the tax free threshold, but then giving a cut on stamp duty for home buyers to "help the housing market".
Wages are stagnating and inflation is high, so who on earth does it benefit to keep house prices high, rather than let the free market correct itself?
