What are we expecting next week? Pre-Election giveaway, almost certainly. But will it be tax cuts, pension reforms, both, or maybe something else? | |

Reduction of the maximum a family can claim in benefits
Raising of higher rate tax threshold to 50k
Reduction in wine and beer tax
Increase to lower rate tax threshold
Tightening of laws over tax avoidance so companies like Starbucks are taxed on earnings in the UK rather than profit?
Who knows... | | | |

"Who knows"….
That's not a bad attempt though OR. It would be good politics to do at least some of that. | |

To me Baz it just makes common sense
Yes - reduce the welfare bill a bit
Yes - Hit the tax avoiders especially the big companies using dodgy offshore HQ's
Yes - increase the top rate to 50k as quite a few people have now been pulled into it
Yes increase the lower rate threshold so less working people have to rely on top ups from the state
If we did all this it would stimulate growth as people would have more money in their pockets | | | |

Do you expect any more overt electoral bribes then, OR? | |

Robbie, do you think the Govt will have the time to change the law to allow people to cash in their annuities or is it an empty promise the coalition knows they cannot deliver as if Labour win they won't follow through any coalition policies? | | | |

Employment Up
Unemployment Down

Odin is wondering just what Red Ed is going to be able to stab the coalition with other than his fallback - The NHS
