HREF="http://order-order.com/" ID="9999" STYLE="LINK_Inline">Political blogger Guido Fawkes claims he has spotted an early gaffe by Labour. He says that an apparent show of spontaneous public support for Gordon Brown at St Pancras Station earlier was actually an organised group of activists from Young Labour and Labour Students. Paul Waugh, in HREF="http://waugh.standard.co.uk/" STYLE="LINK_Inline">his blog for the London Evening Standard reports on an interesting idea by Kit Malthouse, deputy to Conservative Mayor Boris Johnson. Mr Malthouse has suggested a novel revenue-raising strategy for government - "lump everything together, phase out all taxes and just charge higher VAT". Paul Waugh says VAT would have to rise to 120% if that was the case. "Kit Malthouse is, as Sir Humphrey would say, very brave," he adds. Labour MP Tessa Jowell says the remark "shows that beneath all the rhetoric, the Tories haven't changed".
