Liberal Conspiracy have teamed up with LabourList, Left Foot Forward and the TUC to host a joint, live discussion of the Chancellor’s Pre-Budget Report.

There is speculation the government may introduce a transactions levy and / or introduce a year-long Windfall tax on banker’s bonuses. The TUC’s Brendan Barber yesterday set out three tasks he needs to pull off.

Update: The discussion is now over

less reported, no doubt, will be Darling refusing to answer vast swathes of questions about his Budget (preferring to repeat manifesto style lines) and even avoiding answering a request to have the PBR submitted for independent review after Cable rightly asks upon what the “assumption” of growth is being made.

It “sounds” nice but the actions of Darling under questioning really shows that it is a shaky house built on sand
