Lib Dem Plans Don't Add Up

Issue

  • In a speech on his election priorities today, Nick Clegg has shelved a number of Lib Dem policies.

Key points

  • Like the Tories, the Lib Dems are starting to realise their plans don't add up at all.

  • Today, they're in disarray, making u-turn after u-turn and still failing to make their plans add up. Even now they still have their £22 billion promise on personal allowances they haven't remotely explained how they'll fund. And while they talk about fairness, they want to go even further than the Tories on scrapping Child Trust Funds that help provide for children's futures.

  • Just like a large part of his own party, the British public are still no clearer about what Nick Clegg actually stands for.
