Stamp duty threshold to remain at £175,000 until the end of the year.
£80million for the HomeBuy direct shared ownership scheme.
Scrappage scheme - £2000 subsidy when you trade in a car over 10 years old
It's all a bit meh.

This reminds me of the story of a mad scientist who tried to revive a corpse by infusing blood. Weird.

Just heard Daling dupe the pensioners (and it appeared the entire House of Commons)
when he announced that pensioners would get a 2.5% increase which would be a true increase against 0% RPI figures.
How many pensioners do we know with a mortgage ?
As mentioned here yesterday RPIX (which I assume is RPI without mortgage payments) is 2.4%. & CPI 2.9%.

I'm not a fan of Cameron, but he's completely taking Darling apart at the moment. Great performance.
"Based on the Chancellor's forecasts, this wouldn't be a U-shaped recovery, this would be a trampoline recovery"

Cameron comparing the scrappage scheme to the labour party -
Get rid of a 10 year old banger, clapped out, out of scheme, ready for the knacker's yard - what a good idea!

At current house prices a recovery is not possible and Darling knows. Credit scoring is completely diffrent today that it was back in 2007. However it makes sense to keep building new homes.
