Blair: It's a con trick, but this time no one will be fooled
Article Abstract:
The UK government's 1996 Budget does no more than make empty promises, according to Labour party leader Tony Blair. He claimed that taxes will be higher at the next general election than at the last, and highlighted that the Conservative party has made 22 tax rises. He pointed out that previous Conservative chancellors had failed to keep their promises, and claimed that ordinary voters are no longer naive enough to be taken in by apparent benefits.
