The chancellor was keen to position this Budget as one for our health service – even booking in a visit to University College London hospital immediately after her speech to show just how much this government values doctors and nurses, but I’d argue it was nothing of the sort.

Instead, Rachel Reeves has complicated things for doctors, and particularly GPs, by targeting their personal finances and upsetting practices’ operations – once again, they’ve been left worse off.

I’ll begin with what is perhaps the most significant announcement in all of the Budget: income tax threshold freezes. The chancellor is desperate to convince workers that keeping the bands where they are is not tantamount to raising income tax – but the fact is that many people will now have to pay more.
