A Budget of potholes, petrol and plcs

Charlie Mullins, who launched Pimlico Plumbers in 1979 and built it into a £15m-turnover business, gives his take of yesterday’s Budget in the clip below.

While Mullins raves that it was “an absolutely great Budget for businesses”, Lord Alan Sugar is clearly disgruntled by the Chancellor’s announcements. This morning, the Apprentice star tweeted: “Mr Osborn [sic] will not be amused with my speech on the economy in the house of lords today, I can assure you.”

We’ll keep you posted on his speech this afternoon.
