What a douche bag.

This is very uncouth and lowbrow but when did the neo nazi from Peepshow become the speaker.

Nope from the leaked Evening Standard front page, before he even stood up to talk.

Lol, how are the markets reacting?

Can't wait for Ed's response. After the outright lies from the chancellor wrong-footed him in the Autumn-statement, I feel today is the day revenge shall be had

GAC · 20 Mar 2013 at 12:55

How much of that aid is not tied aid?

Don't know, don't care. Bottom line is that it's going to foreign countries, not Americans.

The US at least from my time in Political studies, does a lot of tied aid

Yep, just like every other major western economy—including the UK.

Did someone just fart or something?

Forecast growth of 0.6% in 2013, downgraded from 1.2% in December. Prediction that we will be out of recession this year.

Shadow chancellor Ed Balls has a copy of the London Evening Standard's front page - which includes lots of details of today's Budget, tweeted before George Osborne stood up in the Commons. Questions are already being asked about how the paper got this information: a Budget leak to an evening paper once cost a chancellor his job.

Do tell more....

Hugh Dalton, for leaking info on tax changes whilst financial markets were still open.

Doubt it means anything now, the government is busily involved in the biggest market rigging scam going since the Hunt brothers.
