I think peanut has a point btw. If this were a Cameron has lost the plot thread then some may be mocking it...;)

Well they'd be right to given the number of anti Cameron posts there have been recently. ;)

Sorry mate but it's like shooting fish in a barrel... :D

Odd how some folks will vote for people even though they can't acknowledge, let alone defend, what they've done. :rolleyes:

Two things..

a) Mansion Tax - is this an ongoing fee, or a cost when a house is bought/sold? (can't find details anywhere).

b) from the Telegraph
Quote:

Mr Miliband conceded that the plan was not yet a firm manifesto commitment for the 2015 campaign
So he has announced something that may not happen?

That's low. Quote away anything from me where I have just critised or whatever without putting in at least some valid opinion on the subject at hand regardless if it is right or wrong. And to make it fair if you do, I'll do there same. Then lets see who's calling the kettle black shall we?

A mansion tax only becomes applicable if the "mansion" is sold ,so to avoid it don't sell it above the threshold .A mansion tax has been examined and blown out the water already .
If Labour really want to help low paid workers then raise the tax threshold (already done by the coalition) and/or raise the NI threshold .

Quote:

Mr Miliband made it clear that he would not commit to put any specific policies in its manifesto at this stage.
Quote:

Asked on the Daily Politics whether it was a firm manifesto commitment, Mr Balls said they could not write their manifesto now, but the changes were something "we want to do... intend to do... plan to do" if the party gets into power after the next election.
so that's a yes and a no :confused:


Quote:

He said the detail "had to be got right" but he would be willing to talk to the Lib Dems who he suggested were "still keen" on the idea
do i smell another coalition in the offing? or just nicking each others ideas

If it was ongoing wouldn't that just be a raise in the council tax ?

That's odd, I thought Miliband, Balls et al were demanding the Tories commit to policies before the last election. Funny that. lol

Re: Millibands lost the plot
 
Get over it, it's just another bit of politicking aimed at appealing to lower paid voters by bashing the rich and hinting that a 10p starting rate would benefit them more than anyone else. It's also attempting to divide the coalition. When it's properly costed and in the manifesto, I'll believe it...
