As an addendum to James’s post earlier on potential tensions between No.10 and the Treasury, this from Benedict Brogan:
“I hear persistent reports that No10 took so long to fix the date for the PBR because it tried with some difficulty to persuade the Chancellor to go for a thumping great tax giveaway. The Treasury quite rightly resisted by pointing out that impact is one thing, recklessness is another. We will discover who won on Nov 24.”
