Osborne warns further spending cuts needed to fund his multinational tax deal habit

[AtW]

There might be no effective gov't soon too

If it stops them from increasing taxes then I am all for it!!!

"This arrogant government is bullying the middle-classes. And they're getting away with it because there is no effective opposition"

They are doing it because they are not only the spiritual heirs of Bliar/Brown, but also proud of it!

You can't expect Labour to oppose Tories increasing taxes.

Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells is increasingly disgusted.

Yes, but Labour would have done it anyway, so why should anybody be upset at Tories doing it???

Quite right.

All he has done is pump the housing bubble.



When that pops - we are looking at Armageddon.

Never mind. Its not like we're importing hundreds of thousands of extra mouths to feed every year is it?

Oh.

[AtW]

Yes - pensions tax deferment is viewed as a benefit, so will be "cut" instead.

HTH

AtW in "Waldork" mode!

[centurian]

What he really meant to say is bigger than expected tax increases - removal of "pension relief" he will present as "spending cut" - you've heard it on here first!

Was going to add that, but couldn't be arsed.

Unfortunately the Tory faithful, as in party members, are all Waldorks

FTFY

[AtW]

Wow, those look very nice - might get them for my future mansion ...

[AtW]

"Bigger than expected spending cuts" - no, he just needs to implement spending cuts he expected to do in the first place, show some fooking backbone and not fold like a stacks of cards at the first sign of a bit of heat.

But it had a hole in the roof. He could have fixed it in 2010 and blamed labour. Instead he just carried on. Encouraging people to borrow all they could. Spend their pension funds. Help to buy.

The electorate wont care though.
