Whatever the reasons for doing it, I'm happy. It was going to hit too many people too fast. Now if its all still going to happen just over a longer time, surely this is better than what was originally planned?

I don't believe he 'listened to the people' or anything though, there has been something else going on Maybe Dave told him off or something. Honestly, Osbourne has no soul.

I believe they did listen and act accordingly. But I strongly agree with your point that George Osborne has no soul. That's very easy to accept.

Nice to see you Vicky!

They, I imagine would be Cameron. For all his faults, he does seem to have some compassion at times. Also hes not stupid, this would have been an absolute vote killer for them, even if they do mainly rely on the grey vote. I can just imagine the tantrums Osbourne would have had over all of this..

I am really warming to Cameron recently strangely enough. I was thinking the other day, if you take out what seems like contempt for the lower paid among us..he is exactly the right person to be in charge right now. I voted Labour (though was never Millibands greatest fan) and honestly, I feel MUCH safer right now than I can imagine feeling if this mess was down to Ed to sort out. I agree with Corbyn on a lot of things, but I would never vpte for him with the worold how it is right now. His world peace vision is nice and all, but not whats needed when we are..at war.

Went off on one a bit there, but not deleting

Thanks, nice to be back

Osbourne for PM? No ****ing chance. Even the Tory voters I know (few and far between up north though) cannot stand Osbourne

Noooo... that'd be as bad as Labour electing Corbyn as their leader. Well, almost as bad.

Nowhere NEAR as bad - despite Osborne being a knob.

He most certainly didn't listen Vicky you are spot on.
He had a rebuff from the Lords and he was also likely told some of his own MPs after they had been bombarded by their constituents against the tax credit cuts, that they now could not support the cuts.
Some of the more decent Conservative MPs listened but not Osborne himself.

With even with his magically found 27 billion, and things supposedly looking better,(which in reality it is not),had this bill sailed through the House of Lords, he would be on the way to implementing it in full, never even slightly considering looking at it again.
The man is rotten through and through and not to be believed or trusted at all,in my view.
