This year's Finance Bill is published today. It is 443 pages long. There are 1,148 pages of Explanatory Notes. It is another filthy tax bill from a Government dedicated to the great cause of complete bamboozlement.
This tax bill underlines the need for change. Rather than an ever more complex tax system which makes us personally ever poorer and as a country ever less competitive we need simpler fairer taxes and to promote competitiveness and wealth. This tax bill will make us weaker. Britain should be stronger.
