But then the package may be just what the Tories and Tory-Lite want. And clearly they are very happy with what it will do to the various sectors of society:
Some key highlights:
- Below inflation rise in benefits (that's a cut in real terms). Rather than creating jobs and protecting the vulnerable, they are pushing poverty as if it were a good thing for the masses
- No rise on fuel duty. Stuff the planet! I would have put fuel duty up and made sure that money went directly into investment in public transport
- More people into the 40p tax rate. Surely better to properly tax those on £100k first?
- Corporation tax down by 1%. Why? What about the tax avoidance? Go after Starbucks, Amazon and others.

Always bizarre is that one, you would think their donors would like the profits that spending would have on their profits... oh well.
