Their embargoed look at the budget has leaked before the Chancellor even stands up:

• Planned fuel duty hike scrapped
• 1p off a pint but cider up 2p, wine up 10p and spirits up 38p.
• Borrowing up to £61bn
• Income tax allowance will rise to £10,000 by April 2014
• Corporation tax cut to 20% by 2015
• Growth will apparently reach 1.8% next year, 2.3% by 2015. No Triple Dip.
• £2,000 cut to employer NI contributions.

Terrible economic news but cheaper beer.
