Election roundup
Not a good day for those believing the Tory party has changed its ways.Ed Matts should resign. Not just because he is clearly stupid, but because he has no decency. In an election campaign to take a picture that shows one thing, and doctor it to pretend it means something exactly opposite, is despicable. Where will it end?
It appears Michael Howard has scrapped a flagship policy, the Tax Freedom Day public holiday - or at least as Nick Barlow notes it's not in the Tory Party's manifesto. I pointed out the stupidity of this policy here, but it's still pretty shocking if Howard has scrapped it. Perhaps he'll mention it in his tax plans, because if you recall his first party broadcast was all about this, and he said, "That is part of our commitment to be straight and honest with people"...
Talking of his tax plans the Conservatives today confirmed their pensioner council tax rebate won't happen in the first year of a Conservative goverment, they will only legislate for it.
