http://www.pcs.org.uk/en/news_and_events/news_centre/index.cfm/id/D5B93D7B-F65F-4E7F-A73D0E5E2063E527The budget has widened the gap between rich and poor and will do nothing to create jobs, says the Public and Commercial Sevices union (PCS).
The chancellor’s financial package includes:
•Cutting the top tax rate on earnings over £150,000 from 50% to 45%. Someone like Barclay’s boss Bob Diamond earning £6m per year will be £325,000 better off.
•An extra £10.5bn of welfare cuts will hit poor people hardest.
•Corporation tax being cut even further, taking £3.76bn from public services and handing it over to big business
•Confirmation of local pay rates in the public sector – meaning pay cuts for everyone outside London, and taking money out of hard hit economies.
It has also been announced this week that the minimum wage for young people will not rise this year – for the first time since it was introduced.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: “This is a budget for the rich, and is outrageous at a time when unemployment is rising, people's pay is being frozen, pensions are being attacked, and social security slashed.
"It is a very arrogant demonstration of the fact that we are not all in this together.
"There is an alternative. Invest in collecting the billions of pounds in tax that is avoided and evaded every year, and use the money raised to create useful jobs doing things like building homes and improving public transport."

http://www.camra.org.uk/beertaxpetitionhttp://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/29664/Stop the beer duty escalator
Every year, the beer tax escalator increases the tax on beer by 2% above the rate of inflation, thus adding considerably more pressure on the British pub, the cornerstone of many of our communities. Removing the beer duty escalator at the next budget will help keep beer more affordable and go a long way to supporting the institution that is – the great British pub.
Going to the pub is a core British tradition and so is enjoying great beer. If you want to continue enjoying your fresh pint in your local pub then it’s crucial that you support our campaign to grind the beer duty tax escalator to a halt.
If we don’t show our support for the great British pub, we risk losing more pubs and more jobs within our local communities.
Support great beer in the great British pub and sign our e-petition now..... British Pubs Need You. http://www.camra.org.uk/beertaxpetitionhttp://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/29664/
