Employment Minister Tony McNulty told me this lunchtime that taxes may have to go up longer term to pay for current borrowing.

who is advising these people?
Anyone watching the bond markets can see there is a problem selling them. The uk might not be able to borrow more and even if they can they might have to do it at 15%.
the way out is through job creation in industry with growth potential like a feed in tariff. So why have the govt blocked the feed in tariff that has proven to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. Do we not need those jobs?
the govt isn't fooling people in the markets with the more debt less tax fantasy so the only people they are fooling is the public.
the guardian class do not protect the public because they are in love with their false beliefs. which is why we are here in the first place?

What I don't understand, is if we've got a big economic crisis on our hands, why aren't our MPs sat down to a debate in the House of comments, required to thrash out all the arguments and reach an agreed conclusion. A way forward that everybody can subscribe to.
Isn't that what parliament is all about ?
I don't see why we have GB making his announcement in a PM press conference, DC making his announcement somewhere else and the debate then procceding via the BBC and Channel 4 news.
Get everybody sat down in Parliament and talk about it constructively please, until you reach a conclusion.

gordon isn't interested in the public which is why we have no feed in tariff. he only does things if it makes others look bad regardless of if they are right or not.
so his policies are not the right thing but only there to spite the tories etc. which is why we are here in the first place.
