Labour has pledged to impose no new tax rises despite being warned that increases are the only way to cut record public debt.

Yesterday, in a surprise intervention ahead of the Budget, Liam Byrne, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, ruled out further increases, including VAT, should Labour win the election.


There you go, you can all vote Labour now safe in the knowledge they have pledged not to raise any taxes for the next five years.

Deficit, what deficit?

IIRC, George Bush wasn't talking out of his lips when he said that.

So no tax rises and cuts to the deficit that means there will have to be cuts in spending. Hang on, hasn't the snot goblin promised continued spending increases?

The really worrying thing with all this is that far too many people fall for it.

Existing taxes won't rise, but new ones will be created - it's like that famous promise not to increase income tax...
