Harriet Harman prevents Legg from telling us about the MP's expense claims which were turned down. Given the dubious nature of some of those which were approved, it could have been interesting surely?
Meanwhile the proposed death tax is approved by Labour and the Lib Dems.
Quoting from the BBC report:
"The meeting with charities, council chiefs and care providers agreed a levy payable on death was the best option."
so as you can see, we, the people who will have to pay this "levy" (ie tax), were fully represented.
and it gets better:
It is understood Health Secretary Andy Burnham is now considering whether it would be feasible to introduce the comprehensive system through a staged process.
This could involve a voluntary scheme to start with before a compulsory one was introduced once or if it had gained popular support.
A source involved in the talks said: "This would allow him to sell what is a controversial policy to the cabinet and then the electorate."
Some selling job that I would think.
