They are off
The conference season kicked off this week with the Lib/Dems in Liverpool with their leader Nick Clegg seeking to calm the fears of his activists and declining supporters, thousands of whom are rejecting him and his Party daily. His plea to activists to trust him and the Conservative Party to save the country may ease critics inside the conference but the hollowness of this facade will ring louder and return to bite them when the ConDem coalition’s Spending Review is announced in October.
Lie detectors
The Deputy Prime Minister also announced that compulsory lie-detector tests are being considered by HMRC to stop tax evasion and avoidance. An interesting concept coming from a multi-millionaire whose personal wealth is off limits to public scrutiny and where 18 of the 24 Cabinet members are millionaires. Sorts of “not for me but okay for you” view from the Cabinet table. This ConDem coalition also wants to stop universal entitlement to child benefit; winter fuel allowance and the State pension. Pomposity, egos, and the gorilla chest thumping are in abundance with Clegg and his gang four in Liverpool this week.
