March 3rd, 2010 by Alex Baker

Here are your Fab 5 for today:

  • Nick Robinson, BBC Political Editor, gets excited about the more detailed agreement for the leadership debates.
  • Will Straw of Left Foot Forward blogs about a poll which suggests the public prefer protecting front-line services over “age of austerity” cuts.
  • And Freethinkingeconomist gets increasingly irritated with proponents of a “Robin Hood Tax” on financial transactions.

      I am going to try to contain my irritation, and answer Nigel honestly on his blog. I am not against any transaction taxes at all – I just want them debated as a difficult tradeoff, not a win win (us versus the evil guys).
