Tomorrow night is VAT night.
A key vote in the House of Commons will decide whether or not the Coalition Conservative government’s planned hike in VAT will come into force – and thereby hit millions of people who can least afford it. Vince Cable, who was clearly a bit confused over just about everything when he spoke to the Telegraph last month, still believes it is a regressive tax measure that hurts the less well off. Nice of him to admit, but like the rest of the Liberal Democrats he appears willing to march into the lobby tomorrow night with his Tory chums.
There is only one way to stop this – let the Lib-Cons know that they shouldn’t renege on their key election pledge and let down thousands of people in Clapham. You can either do this by contacting their MPs on the TheyWorkForYou site, or alternatively signing Labour’s petition which we’ll present to the 57 liberal democrats in the Commons.
Its not too late to send a message to the Lib Dems – so take action before tomorrow night’s vote!
