        Rubbish, my guess is that these plans have been evolving from work done by civil servants in HMRC, rather than directed by politicians.

        If you or anyone else really believes that a Labour government would have refused to crack done on this area when we are faced with a deficit of around £70 billion, then you truly are living in the land of make believe.
        "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero

            I see HMRC have settled. So whatever has been decided is set in stone now. Throw those IPSE letters away.

              I wonder if Allister Heath ever gets the sense that he is banging his head against a brick wall? Or has he had titanium plating fit beneath his forehead?

                Labour would not have done it because they would fear it would deter investors and others if the party isn't "pro-business". Cons don't give a fook because they are assumed to be pro-business party.

                Labour would have put back 50% tax and used more funny money from BoE - they would be under a LOT less pressure to increase tax revenues because they did not set high target of cutting deficit in the first place. So yes, for majority of people on this board they would have been better than the current lot. Crazy though if you ask me going back to April, but that's how it is. Tory Scum are indeed scum.

                      Even if they despised us, at least their incompetence would ensure the opposite was achieved.
