The "tax cuts for the rich" aspect of the mini budget was miniscule (and possibly not even a net loss of tax revenue) compared to the absolutely massive borrowing-funded subsidy of fuel costs this year, on top of the unbelievably colossal spending on the lockdown, all coming at the end of decades of generally living beyond our means. The only mistake the this new Government made was to drop the facade that we were ever good for the money.
