January 2009 budget surplus has come in at £3.3 billion against a forecast of £7 billion.
January is normally a surplus month and in previous years the figure has been around £15 billion surplus.
This is a shockingly low figure and just shows that the expected low revenues could actually be double the received figure.
Net debt is now £703 billion or 47.8% of GDP

I think the best we can hope for now is that we can 'have it so good' like in the 30's
