7 December 2012 07:34204877problem for the mouse now is, he has an election looming, he knows he can't go into the election with the shambles around him
he knows things are to get worse,
he knows he will have to find some sweeterners, but he is so out of touch and not trusted he will get voted out anyway.
As for Farage, yer alexander now you seeing UKIP may just be the protest party you highlight, not enough to win a seat
but enough to damage the 2 main parties
but is a protest party enough?ALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 7 December 2012 08:32204892Disabled hit back over benefit cuts.

She expands on some of the early points I made yesterday in POST 11.

Sandys: "Autumn Statement Helps Low Income Families"
The Chancellor yesterday announced a series of measures in his Autumn Statement that will help low income families, encourage SME growth and give a boost to jobs.
Key measures are:
· Fuel Duty Cancelled: This will save the average driver £40 a year.
· More Tax-Free Pay: Everyone's personal tax-free allowance was increased to £9,440.
This will lift 30,000 people in the South East out of tax all together.
· Boost to Small and Medium Sized Businesses:
. Corporation tax cut by a further 1% to 21%, giving the UK the most pro-business tax regime in the G7.
. A new Business Bank that will bring use £1 billion to stimulate the market for long term capital.
. An increase in the Annual Investment Allowance limit from £25,000 to £250,000.
· Protecting Support for the Disabled and Carers: Benefits for these two groups will be protected and will rise in line with inflation.
· Pensions Increase of 2.5%: Due to the Government's triple lock guarantee the basic state-pension will rise to £110.15.
· Expected Empty Property Rates Exemption: Subject to consultation, new commercial properties will be exempt from empty property rates for the first 18 months.
· ISA Allowance Raised: The tax free cash limit will now rise to £5,760 while the stocks and shares ISA limit will be raised by 2.1% to £11,520.
Laura Sandys, MP for South Thanet, said, "This Statement that will help low earners and give a boost to small businesses. By protecting motorists and bringing more people out of tax, while at the same time ensuring that benefit payments to do not grow quicker than earnings, we are making sure that it always pays to work."
"I have always been a strong supporter of small business and I am very encouraged by the steps taken today by the Chancellor to help them. By giving them the confidence to implement their growth plans without incurring high tax bills we are doing all we can to make sure that existing local jobs are protected and new ones are created."
"This was a pro-hard work Statement and one that I am sure will greatly benefit the residents of South Thanet".

7 December 2012 11:51204915yes of course howard thats the conservative spin
its what they dont tell you thats the problemALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 11 December 2012 15:10205414Osborne has no strategy for economic growth says British Airways CEO.
He accuses the government of failing to achieve economic growth and being ``fixated``with
immigration and the Autumn Statement having no economic growth strategy.
He tells Osborne `you cannot downsize to profitability` - 11 December 2012 16:36205420Willie is dead right.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 11 December 2012 16:56205422The problem is that Reg totally disapproves of the measures needed to boost growth.
To be less timid over public spending cuts, to cut taxes specially the ones that are most damaging to growth and investment, to cut the red tape costs to businesses including 'de-risking' employment and so on.
The block to these measures are the LimpDems. - 11 December 2012 17:00205424Barry is also dead right.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
- 11 December 2012 17:04205426At last it`s not Brown......................everyone is begging Osborne for economic growth......for two and a half years we have
been waiting......................Plan ``A``is in the way............ego`s again....... - 11 December 2012 17:09205427So tell me then Reg... Have you changed your mind?
Will you support what is necessary to have a plan for growth.
To cut those damaging taxes - the 45p rate to 40p or under.
To restore the nil rate band for those earning over £100k who are currently paying 62p in the £ in income taxes.
To chop pubic spending further.
To de-risk employing people to boost employment, making it easier for instance for small businesses in particular to get rid of staff.
That is just a start. - 11 December 2012 17:19205428you're in agreement with everyone today peter, let's see how far we can take this one.
ed b*lls is the only person capable of getting us out of the economic mess left by george. - 11 December 2012 17:30205430If you change it to......`economic mess left by Osborne``......I like the cut of your jib Howard......
- 11 December 2012 17:47205433The big danger is that Osborne will leave the same mess he found. In two and a half years there has been depressingly little change. Bold tax cutting steps are required and I no longer believe that the government are capable of it. So the Tories will finish this parliament having achieved very little. They haven't even stopped the rot yet.I'm an optimist. But I'm an optimist who takes my raincoat - Harold Wilson
