Liberal Democrat Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander has announced details of a plan to raise an extra £1bn from a supplementary corporation tax charge applied to banks to help finish the job of eliminating the deficit.
Only the Liberal Democrats can be trusted to continue the economic recovery, and continue it fairly.

Employment figures released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show further encouraging signs that our economy is recovering. In the quarter to August, unemployment fell by 154,000 to 1.97m. This is largest fall in unemployment since records began.
Despite a Liberal Democrat challenge the Conservatives voted as a block to brush aside reasoned argument from Cllrs Nick Hollinghurst (DBC) and Garrick Stevens (Berkhamsted Town Council). The concerns and protests of residents and business were also disregarded. Just as in the case of the Moor End Road Bus Lane we were treated to the spectacle of Conservative councillors insisting they know best and everyone else is wrong. It was a foolish and expensive strategy in Moor End - will it be similarly disasterous in Berkhamsted?
