Prentice's Budget threat over 10p tax row
PENDLE MP Gordon Prentice told Burnley's May Day rally in Towneley Park yesterday he would vote against the Budget next month if people who lost out as a result of the abolition of the 10p tax rate were not compensated and reimbursed.
The Finance Bill which puts the Budget into law comes back to the floor of the House of Commons in mid-June.
The MP also told the crowd Labour would have to change and acknowledge the mistakes it had made.The alternative, he said, was a Conservative Government.
Speaking afterwards, the MP said: "I don't want to live in a Britain run by old Etonians but that is what is on offer. Boris Johnson is now the Mayor of London. And David Cameron, the Leader of the Opposition, is an old Etonian, as is the shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer."
