An Unprogressive Budget

Left Foot Forward have published an analysis of the Conservative / Liberal Democrat budget. Essentially, it argues that far from being progressive, the richest ten per cent of the UK population will be hit least, and the impact gets steadily worse through each decile until you get to the poorest being struck most. It also reports that some Liberal Democrats are preparing to rebel against their own budget tonight. We shall see if Sarah Teather is among them.
