Budget 2009: Pick and mix Budget fails on all counts
April 22, 2009 9:06 PM
Nick Clegg has described today's Budget as "a pick and mix Budget of recycled announcements from a government skilled in raising people's hopes but incompetent at actually delivering help."
Responding to Alistair Darling's Budget, Nick Clegg said: "Today we got a pick and mix Budget of recycled announcements from a government skilled in raising people's hopes but incompetent at actually delivering help."
"The Liberal Democrats would get practical help to people who are struggling and cut the vast majority of people's Income Tax bills by £700, paid for by taking aggressive action to clamp down on all the loopholes and exemptions that benefit the richest people and biggest businesses."
"This Budget is a political supermarket sweep of random promises, without even a hint of a plan or any likelihood the promises will be put into practice."
"The country deserves something different."
