1115: The Labour party has suspended its candidate for South East Cambridgeshire following newspaper allegations about his conduct. A party spokesman said the actions of John Cowan were "totally unacceptable and well below what the party expects of its candidates" . A decision will now be made whether to expel him from the party. The Sunday Telegraph claimed that Mr Cowan had made a number of offensive comments on online forums. Mr Cowan's suspension comes too late for him to replaced on the ballot paper.

The tax on sanitary pads was reduced from the full rate to 5% in 2001. Strangely, there is, apparently, no tax on incontinence pads :confused:

Ask him a question from me, will you (because his appearances in here - his constituency - are staged managed and I can't get in)? Ask him why the Tory leader of Kent County Council disagrees with his education policy, please.

Apart from the fact that, in your missive above, you have talked about taxes other than VAT, the simple fact is this. If VAT goes up, people on low and fixed incomes will find that many everyday items will become more difficult to afford. If you've only got £20 a week to spend on 'stuff' and VAT rises by, say, 2.5%, you'll have 2.5% less to spend on what might be essential stuff. If you've got £200 a week to spend on stuff, your essential stuff will still cost you 2.5% more but you've got much more room for maneouvre. The economy thrives just as much on people with low incomes buying stuff as it does on people with shedloads of money to spend. All the time we all spend, we're all wealth providers.

Sanitary and maternity pads are taxed at 5%. Equipment for the blind is taxed at 5% as are mobility aids. Power is taxed at 5% (gas, electricity etc.) http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/forms-rates/rates/goods-services.htm
