First in a desperate attempt it was the 10p tax, will it now be tax on fuel and cars?
I don't see how Gordon Brown can afford either politically or financially to give in this time - but at what cost? Politically if Brown can't stand up to the protesters then what chance will he have in getting the 42 day detention law through and if that also goes, then what credibility this government has left must surely follow. Financially after the £2.7bn attempt to buy votes in Crewe the Treasury cannot afford to lose even a penny more. However not giving in will surely hurt Brown's popularity even more. Whatever will the PM do?
