The expected disappointment for small businesses came. The unnecessary increase in corporation tax could have been offset somewhat with changes to business rates and/or national insurance, but we saw nothing from an uninspired Chancellor who has lost his grip on the business community. This was a Budget with few ideas damning the country to stagnation for years to come.

Despite Mr Hunt proudly declaring new incentives and celebrating these supposed ‘wins’, the self-employed micro businesses remain stranded. Stuck between heat or eat, we are once again forced to sit on our hands and wait for our turn. Where is the help for the single woman, working from home with anxiety and chronic illness? Where is my break, my investment, my win? I work 60+ hours a week so why am I being punished?
