Taxing times for Brown

As James said earlier, things aren’t looking great for Gordon.  And now – as Ben Brogan points out – our Prime Minister’s got a revolt on his hands.  What makes this one particularly damaging is that it’s over matters economic.  Says Brogan:

“Bad news for Gordon. At last count 26 of his MPs have signed an EDM calling on Alistair Darling to review the scrapping of the 10p rate of tax … When Mr Brown was Chancellor the idea of a revolt by Labour MPs on tax was nigh unthinkable. Times have changed.”
