And staying on the subject of fiscal break up,Iain Martin over at three line whip maintains that relationships are rocky between the chancellor and his master.
They are long-standing friends but Darling's demeanor is now that of a man who has had enough of being pushed around. Whether he'll stand up to Brown on specifics, we shall see. But rumours swirl of rows, it is said Darling has twice threatened to resign and there is a growing rumble from the Whitehall machine which suggests officials in Number 10 and the Treasury are despairing of the PM's inclinations and mode of working.
I agree to an extent with Martin and as he points out,Darling's interview with the Times yesterday the Chancellor said that the public had reached its limit with taxation,thus effectively closing one fiscal solution,perhaps shows he too has reached a limit.
As Iain says
Some mysterious person spent all the money in good times and left Darling, and by extension the rest of us, in this dire position. Once again, his name begins with G and ends in N.
