Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologises for the axing of the 10p tax band at Labour’s annual party conference:
“What happened with 10p stung me because it really hurt that suddenly people felt I wasn’t on the side of people on middle and modest incomes, because on the side of working families is the only place I’ve ever wanted to be. And now it’s the only place Iever will be.”
Well, is there any chance that he can regain any self-respect, and restore the 10p band immediately? As they say, don’t bet on it…
