MORE U-TURNS FROM THE SHAMBOLIC, OUT OF TOUCH TORIES . . .

… but on their most disastrous decisions, they’re going straight ahead

Within hours of Labour’s call for the August fuel duty rise to be put to a vote if it wasn’t dropped, David Cameron and George Osborne performed another massive U turn.

For months, Ministers have said that they can’t afford to help families on fuel – despite finding the cash to fund their millionaires’ tax cut.

This incompetent, out of touch Tory-led Government keeps making the wrong choices. That's why David Cameron and George Osborne are continually forced in to making these embarrassing U-turns.

Since their disastrous Budget, they’ve been forced to change course on the “pasty tax”, the “charity tax”, the “caravan tax” and the “skip tax” – because they hadn’t thought their unfair tax rises through.

I welcome all these U turns, but on their most disastrous decisions, they’re still going straight ahead.

For example, they are pressing on with their £40,000 tax cut for millionaires, while at the same time hitting 4.4 million pensioners with a tax rise.

And they also are going straight ahead with their failed economic plan which has pushed us into a double-dip recession, and which means borrowing is now higher than last year.

It seems to me that they are heading for a dead end – with a double-dip recession made in Downing Street.

Britain needs a change of direction.

The Tories promised change, but failed to deliver.

Only Labour stands for fairness in tough times.
