"Options kept open on stamp duty"

Priceless.

Nulab are so mindblowingly incompetent that they can't even get a good headline out of a tax cut - see also the shambles they made of the 2% 'cut' in basic rate tax (that left the lowest earners worse off); the subsequent panicked increase in the tax-free personal allowance (a £2.7 billion bung to try and hang on to Crewe and Nantwich, which failed); the cut in CGT from 40% 'down' to 18% which left entrepreneurs worse off (followed by a bodged reintroduction of Retirement Relief). As it happens the true overall average CGT rate was probably closer to 18% than 40% anyway, once you take into account indexation allowance and taper relief, but that's details, and not what the headlines said.

What a bunch of morons. Of course they don't understand economics, let alone free-market economics - they're socialists - but they can't even put a positive spin on a f***ing tax cut, Jeez.
