Suspect the departure of Javid means the end of Mansion Tax and Pension Raid talk.

Javid was quite keen on fiscal discipline, Boris less so. Spending pledges now more likely to go on the national credit card than matched with tax hikes...

Well surely that is OK, it was the approach you were shouting was the right one before the election, and after all, austerity is evil and doesn't work. You should therefore be happy.

I'm relaxed about borrowing to invest in quality infrastructure projects.

For me, austerity failed but then it was always a political rather than an economic project.

So you don't believe the deficit figures?

You mean pfi. I.e. Deffered taxation.

Mansion tax allegedly shelved. No word on pensions. They will need money from somewhere...
