Thanks to Dr. Vince Cable MP, Treasury spokesman for the Liberal Democrats, for noting the content of the letter and fact sheet we sent to him. 

Of interest to me is a comment by Peter Mandelson who can be seen on the BBC News Channel, Hardtalk programme at 11.30pm this evening, Friday 9th May.

I think it sums up the "general" feeling that we are all feeling at the moment.

"Asked later in the interview about his criticism of Mr Brown's decision to scrap the 10p tax rate, he said: "I didn't say it was a disaster, I said it was rather a large mistake and there we are, it was a mistake and now they're trying to put it right.

"It was a mistake because it violated that key tenet of New Labour, which is that we look after the poor and needy in society.

"It goes along, around with the other key components' of a New Labour whole and if you lose one section and if you lose one tenet then the whole edifice starts looking shaky and that's what's happened."
