   The trouble with the PBR is that the details matter, not the headlines. The speech will be written to generate crowd-pleasing headlines but deep analysis matters more than live-blogging. So keep your eyes open. For example we remember how the Daily Mail and backbenchers roared with approval when the basic rate of income tax was cut but behind this stunt came the 10p tax rate fiasco.

   [...] 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. [...]
