The post you are reporting:
The VAT break Dave has been superceded by Brown nicking the idea.
£50bn - the costs of the tax breaks annouced today is £4.2bn, if the beeb are reporting £50bn, thats just absurd, then they need to be taken to task. Doing away with the 20% tax on £100 gross interest saves £20 and 20% tax saved by the extra allowance for a pensioner (on £2,000) saves them up to £400 (dependant on income) - basic maths.
The fuel stabiliser, yes I missed it. The effectiveness of that depends on the point at which it is introduced, provided it is done so when fuel prices are lower then it is a good thing for motorists. It should not be introduced when low or they are falling, now is not a time for it.
The NI cut is indeed small but for such small businesses (5 employees) as this is intended, fighting to survive, anything is a help. A payroll of, say, £100,000 saves them £500 over 6 months.
Well, Dave - you may be willing to excuse Brown for getting us into such a mess but the electorate wont.
Sid - first, you are reading what you want into what I said.. I have decided not to involve myself in the petty and insignificant bull you spouted in the last post and stick to the important issues. It is pointless getting into that when it is Brown who is cocking up everthing he touches, he is the issue and his failing Government.
