I earn £30,000. I'm angry there was no fuel duty cut in the Budget

People on a range of incomes from £4,062 to £150,000 a year tell the BBC what they made of this year's Budget.

BBC News has been speaking to people on a range of incomes on how they feel about their finances and how the Budget affects them.

Dave Herbert, a professional driver who moves cars between showrooms and does deliveries, says fuel prices have been "crazy" this year.

He spends around £350 a month on petrol for work and personal use. That's 40% to 50% more than at the start of the year, he says.

The £100 household energy allowance over a year is less than £10 a month, he says, while action on tariffs on food items will save only £21 a year, or £1.75 per month.
