A brilliant piece of trickery from a master of the art. The cut in the standard rate of tax will be financed almost entirely by scrapping the 10p lower rate which Brown himself introduced.

Personally, I don't mind paying higher taxes for the likes of the NHS, provided it's used for more doctors, nurses, hospitals and the like. But, as Cyfr says, this government will use it for more management consultants and, of course, Tony's pet project - the nationwide NHS computerisation which is currently budgeted at a ruinous £12 billion and rising and whose value is questionable to say the least.

New Labour - same old spin.
