Maybe AD can use that bit of insider knowledge to reduce the deficit at the expense of the Irish

It's going to be a radical budget. The labour party really has nowt to lose. I think you should expect banker spanking, a VAT rise, fuel duty rise, and some substantial cuts in public spending. They are going to try to get the conservatives to commit to doing more to reduce the deficit than is really prudent.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

What will be interesting is the growth forecast for 2011 , which in December was put at 3.5%. This forms a key plank to economic recovery and generating tax revenues. Many have since questioned this level of growth. Any downward revision will require a fiscal tightening. Something the markets will be watching for.
Expect £ to slide a little tomorrow against the $. Down over 15% in 2 months this year already.
Only GB will be off to Disneyland at this rate.......0 -

According to the Telegraph yesterday:
In a statement last night the Chancellor could not resist a barbed comment directed at Gordon Brown. Mr Darling said Britain had come “through what had been the most difficult circumstances for well in excess of 60 years.”
When the Chancellor stated in the autumn of 2008 that the crisis would be the worst for 60 years he was attacked by Number 10. Last month, in an uncharacteristic intervention that lifted the lid on tensions between him and Mr Brown, he admitted “the forces of hell” had been unleashed on him by the Prime Minister’s advisers.There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more...0 -
