LETTER: Why are we helping the rich get richer?

A reader discusses the latest budget.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak

The Budget proves that the Conservatives favour the wealthy.

The new tax regime means that I, as an OAP, will be a mere 14 pounds a year better off whereas a fat cat earning 100,000 Pounds per year will be even richer by 68 Pounds. Shouldn't that money go to the NHS instead without detriment to the affluent life-style of the well off?

In relative terms, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
