I was going to do a post on the VAT rise, however, I stumbled across Lib Dem Voice’s version and I feel I couldn’t have put it better myself.
Additionally to this, and pointed out to me by my colleagues in Birkdale, is Evan Davis’ interview with Shadow Chancellor Alan Johnson on BBC’s Today programme. We now have it confirmed that Labour agree the size of the structural deficit and they agree with the coalition about its size. They agree that it will not be eliminated by growth. They think that there should be more tax rises (so quite how they think they could avoid VAT given Alistair Darling's statements as Chancellor).
