Brown Comes Out Fighting As The Tories Engage In Fantasy Politics.

Gordon Brown showed he has the stomach for a fight as he went on the offensive against the Tories' tax proposals.

The Conservatives' plans for spending cuts have been exposed as a sham.

On top of the £15bn in savings that Labour have already planned, the Tories plan to make cuts of a further £12bn once they win office.  This means cuts of a massive £27bn.

These plans are completely unworkable and many commentators and academics have been quick to criticise them. The Government described them as 'fantasy' savings.  I have been wondering where George Osborne has disappeared to; he is conspicuous by his absence.

This issue is set to run and run and has certainly brought the election campaign to life.
