    Miliband's 10p tax rate proposals

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21453444 This is an interesting one. Presumably Ed. was anticipating it might figure in Boy George's March budget. In any case it makes quite a nice Valentine's day gift to the voters of Eastleigh, rather undercuts the Lib/Dem's own mansion tax proposals...
  5. Social Care Proposals

    I'm really hoping someone can explain this to me because I don't understand it.
