Chair in Regional Economic Development Raquel Ortega-Argilés in The Conversation: Why the areas that voted Leave are likely to be hardest hit by Brexit.

Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay in the Birmingham Perspective: "Budgets are also political exercises, with the government suggesting that the tax and spending measures will boost the economy and help various sectors and the opposition castigating most measures as misguided or 'doing too little'. Thus, while the headlines indicate a 'no surprise' budget on the whole, we will have to assess the true impact more carefully as the various measures affect incentives and play out with the price system adjusting to the changes."

John Fender in the Birmingham Perspective: "The Chancellor's task in this Budget was by no means easy. On the one hand, there are real signs of strain in many public services and one would really like to allocate these worthy causes more resources. But, on the other hand, the public debt/GDP ratio is over 80%, and there is a budget deficit between 2% and 3% of GDP."

Kimberley Scharf in the Birmingham Perspective: "The Budget announcement and debate about it will continue until it is swamped into the background by speculation and debate about the next Budget. We will see analysts at the IFS and other think-tanks cranking the numbers that will allow us to see more clearly how much the spending will cost, how much the tax changes and other incentives will raise, who will be the losers and who will be the winners."

Andy Lymer in the Birmingham Perspective: "The Chancellor froze VAT thresholds for small businesses starting to have to charge VAT to their customers. This matters to the same people as this will mean more businesses having to charge people VAT than would have been the case before - the same people who will receive this 4.4% increase may find they get hit with a 20% extra cost on the services and goods they buy from smaller traders."

Simon Collinson in the Birmingham Perspective: "I am more disappointed in the announcements around regional funding, given there is also a real need to rebalance an economy that is over-reliant on London and the South-East. Inclusive growth is necessary for social and political as well as economic reasons. This should be driven by greater levels of investment and a set of policies that enable regions to improve their competitiveness and create more high-value, better-paid jobs."

As we come to terms with this week's terrorist attack, our thoughts are with the families of those affected by this senseless act; not just in Manchester, but across the North-West.
