I'm really pissed off with yesterday's budget, and not because they put up my taxes - I'm glad they did.

No, my problem is they pussied out, didn't put them up enough. They touched everything except VAT, income tax (on wages) and national insurance.

A few pennies on those would have raised money to spend on infra we need.

I'm all for conservativism, but we need bold spending, it's why Labour is in power. And I say that as a conservative. Labour should act like Labour.
