Budget 2013: what do you want to hear?

This year's Budget is just a matter of days away. What do you think George Osborne should be doing to kickstart our economy?

On Wednesday, Chancellor George Osborne will deliver his fourth Budget speech and the stakes are once again very high.

Despite the economy spluttering and the cost of living rising faster than incomes, the chancellor seems determined to stick to ‘Plan A’ – spending cuts and tax increases.

As ever at Budget time, there have been calls from left, right and centre for the chancellor to look at different policies. From cutting VAT to scrapping a planned increase in fuel duty due in September to increasing the Cash ISA allowance, opposition parties, special interest groups and campaigners have offered a plethora of suggestions.

But what do you want from this year’s Budget? Where should the Chancellor focus his attentions to get the economy moving again?
