Monday
It’s all v odd. As far as I can tell, until this week we didn’t have any tax cuts at all and people were jolly cross about it. Now we seem to have dozens of tax cuts which we are going to have to drop and people are even crosser. What I want to know is, how did we get from having a policy of no tax cuts which definitely was going to happen, to having a policy of loads of tax cuts which possibly isn’t going to happen? And isn’t the result broadly the same in both cases? So what’s all the fuss about?? I just cannot get my head around it. The strangest thing of all is why Ken is suddenly answering his phone at weekends and agreeing to our requests to go on Sunday television programmes to talk about the economy. That doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense on any level.
