Cameron v Osborne over 50p tax

As Peter Hoskin points out over at Coffee house it appears that David Cameron and his sidekick are getting rather confused over the issue of the 50p tax rate.

Whilst Mr Cameron predicted that Alistair Darling's measure would not be staying in place if elected,Mr Osborne told this morning's conference that

The new 50p tax rate and associated changes to the taxation of higher earners should be kept in place for at least as long as the public sector pay freeze, in order to ensure that the richest in our society pay their fair share of the burden of tackling Labour's debt crisis."
