He's found out our car is too small and we ned a bigger one, he's gonna bumpup the car tax on big enough cars.

He needs big famillies to compensate for no kid famillies and an aging population, then famillies with lots of kids get hit in other ways. How does this make sense?

And I know about the big cars clgging the cities- but some of us are rural and can't even get to a supermarket without a drive.

Glad about the cigs personally - filthy habit.

But what about raising the other stamp duty threshold - the £250K one?!
