Left Foot Forward’s Progressive PBR Live 2009

Print Friendly

Join us from 12 noon on Wednesday 9th December for our live coverage of Alistair Darling’s Pre-Budget Report. We’ll be hosting a discussion on the key points as they’re announced, with guest commentators from across the progressive economic community, including the TUC’s ToUChstone blog team, Rachel Reeves, and Howard Reed.

You’ll be able to have your say directly on the issues, by adding comments to the live event hosted here on our site, or by contributing via Twitter. Address your tweets to @leftfootfwd – we’ll be looking out for your contributions to bring into the live debate.

Leave your email address here if you’d like a reminder for the live event (we’ll not be using email addresses for any purpose other than to send the reminder).

    [...] And of course if you can’t close the deficit through painless invisible cuts and economic growth alone, then the only route left is tax. Labour has developed some confidence in this area, and we will see whether it goes any further in tomorrow’s PBR. [...]
