Mr Osborne shift to the right

The Conservatives’ ‘panic of the polls’ is now producing a shriller lurch to the right as today, like a bad magician, Mr Osborne started claiming he can cut taxes and the deficit all at the same time.

In a very short speech, he claimed he wants Britain to make things and then said he’ll put up tax on business investment in a way our manufacturers say would be a ‘disaster’ for the recovery.

He spoke about fairness but he stood by tax cuts for millionaires while cutting child tax credits, and the child trust fund for those on modest incomes, in just a few months time

We were promised a 12 point plan but I’m afraid and we got just one idea. The Tories would slam on the brakes just as Britain is starting to recover. This man is a chancer not a Chancellor.
