If you wanted great paint brushes for brilliant smooth internal room finishes, sizes in 1inch and 2inch, not too heavy on the price, perhaps less than a fiver each, which ones would you go for please?

Harris are ok for under a fiver. ( toolstation)
Axus are ok.
Depends on paint type.
I bought a 3 inch purdy cutting in brush for £18 cant get on with it. Maybe there is an on/off button on it somewhere?

Hi Bitzz.
This is a diy forum. You or I might spend a lot on brushes or rollers. A lot on here are keeping costs down by diying.

I bought a cheap Pro Dec set from Toolstation and have been quite impressed. Nice handle and bristles, I can't remember losing any.
The really cheap black no-name set is awful, but useful as brushes when the hoover isn't around.

Bronco, thankyou for your welcome pic, if you look I have been on here since 2013.
If my initial answer was a too sarcastic reply for you and I apologise.
a simple answer for you cheap brushes = false ecconomy. Pay more for a better quality brush, look after it and it will last longer, saving you money in he long run.

I use Harris (a multi pack from Costco is amazing value, I think less than £2 per brush)
This £3.99 Seagull brush below is the best brush I have bought recently. I highly recommend it. I have just painted my UPVC windows with this brush, and bedec MSP paint, and the result was good. Very fine finish indeed.
I asked the shop (Leyland SDM) to recommend something, and they gave me a £3.99 brush. I said, "are you sure? it's only 3.99" and he said - this is the nuts. He was right.

A bit more pricey would be these, which come recommended by some professionals:
