Milliband

I didn't like Mr Milliband's question to the front bench opposite, asking if they personally benefit from the changes.

It reinforced the idea that MPs are insular, concerned with their own needs.

It was also destined to fade away as a damp squib, no one was obviously going to answer.

I didn't hear him say that at the time, but you are right, that was a 'cheap shot' comment and was never going to get him anywhere.

There should be a presumption that everyone believes that they are acting in the best interests of the country.

I think it's in the public interest to disclose conflicts of interest, including those that will benefit from the lowering of the highest tax band threshold. Individual MP's private interests may well put them in that bracket.

No he isn't.

He is thinking he is... but it is a trap and he has walked right into it.

Every word demonstrates how economically incompetent he is.

Rubbish, he had an easy target.

It was with reference to 'see through' taxation and he was looking for an answer based on how 'see through' (honest) the current government were.

Parliament is full of cheap shots, hell they even had them at the speaker today, dont comment if youve only ever seen pmq's once.

Going back to his intent his argument against 5p tax reduction was simple. the people earning this much don't need it, the response from government..... silence. As for making it up on £2mil + properties and stamp duty, well lets have a look at how many of them sell, ludicrous idea, thats just extremely unlikely to generate any form of substantial income, a mansion tax wouldve been better. Those properties will rarely see the market now


I was initially quite impressed with the budget with the large investments in infastructure, something this country needs more than anything. Then was let down by the higher rate tax reduction based on people avoiding tax last year by hiding profits in the earlier year, well yes bell end, that was obviously always going to happen, my question, where are they supposed to hide this years profits?!?!? They cant legally. He just threw away billions needlessly.

And also increase tax on cigs and not on alcohol?!?! 'well increase the tobbaco tax by 5% because its bad for you.....' well why not do both?!?! Again throwing away a few quid. All youll see form this is increased trade through dover - calais that will not match the loss in revenue from less tax recieved from smokers.

Its brilliant to see all the parties trying to polish a turd.
