Darling: The Treasury didn't leak the £15bn tax cut figure

James Forsyth 12:06pm

One more thing worth noting from the Darling interview,which Pete commented on earlier, is his rather barbed comment about who floated the idea of £15bn worth of tax cuts:

Mr Darling insists we will have to wait for the details, but plays down speculation that the tax reductions could be worth £15bn. That was "not out of here", he insists.
One wonders whether Darling is hinting that it came out of next door. It seems that the Number Ten Treasury tensions are still going strong.

Maybe Darling is wise to the fact that GB is destroying our economy!

The mixed messages from the government are disgraceful and the wise are selling their pounds, they realise that the policy makers are confused and don't know how to save our economy.

This is a national disaster and that is why Cammie must bring back the Big Beast, Ken Clarke.

Boy George should be sent to ponder why Carl Rogers is rubbish for group therapy.

Cammie must get real this is economic war and decisive action must be taken.

For the sake of Britain get a grip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a fairly standard "non-denial denial" surely?

You could almost feel sorry for Darling having to deal with a nutter for a boss and neighbour.
