As shoppers plotted a course this week through the complicated array of bargains spewed into stores for Black Friday, the Chancellor was hatching a plot of his own to keep news of a £91bn tax raid out of his Autumn Statement. Editor Simon Lambert and consumer affairs editor Lee Boyce join Share Radio presenter Georgie Frost for a fun look at this mini-Budget - and shopping. As with all of these things, the devil’s in the retail. Are graduates really going to foot the bill for increased pensions? Are the buy-to-let tax changes going to kill off buy-to-let? What are these help-to-buy Isas? The Chancellor may have announced that he’s going to build 400,000 new homes – but where on Earth is he going to put them? ‘I want to see a map, George Osborne!’ demands Lee. Simon admits to getting very excited about negative interest rates, where banks charge customers to look after their savings. Also being discussed: The latest news on Isa rates When phishing scams arrive by SMS and become smishing And shopping. Does anyone actually like the Black Friday shopping event?
