Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury Dan Tomlinson took questions on the partial Christmas Farm Tax U-turn in the Commons this afternoon. He complained about Labour being criticised for its behaviour over the last 14 months…
LibDem Tim Farron congratulated the farmers for forcing a government U-turn and attacked Labour for continuing to attack farms with a value of over £2.5 million. Tomlinson moaned:
“One of the things that would have happened if the government hadn’t made these changes in December last year, is that members opposite would have been standing here asking us to make these changes. We are now coming forward with a revised position… and yet members are criticising us for coming forward with that change.”
What do you want, a cake?
Speaking about the Metropolitan Police, Nigel Farage told a press conference in London:
“Giuliani didn’t abolish the NYPD. He changed the leadership. He put those into positions of authority that shared his vision of the broken windows theory of dealing with crime from the bottom up. That’s what you have to do. So, I would suggest that rather than scrapping it, we need to find the right people in the right position.”
