Diary of an MP: What the Budget means for you in Northampton

When people stop me at my surgeries, they rarely ask me about the Budget by name. They ask whether they can afford to put the heating on, or whether their kids will ever be able to buy a home. Those were the questions on my mind as I sat in the chamber making notes whilst the Chancellor delivered his budget. So, I'm choosing to use my column this week to run through what the Budget means for us, as working people here in Northampton.
