George Osborne faces second tax battle, over pension tax relief…

… as he plans to go ahead with bank tax on UK banks
"George Osborne, chancellor, is to press ahead with plans for a levy on UK-based banks, in spite of the G20 finance ministers at the weekend scrapping worldwide plans for a banking tax. Mr Osborne is expected to outline his thinking on a unilateral British bank tax in his Budget on June 22, undeterred by the hostile reaction to the idea from some ministers at the G20 meeting at Busan in South Korea." – FT
We won't punish savers, says Cameron in new hint on CGT

Andrew Tyrie: Get Buggins off the select committee chair
"With the election of select committee chairmen by secret ballot of the whole House, Buggins' turn is out. The whips will no longer control the select committee corridor – a huge victory for those who believe in parliamentary democracy… Elected chairmen who can speak with the authority of the whole house, acting together, can do a lot of good for parliament as a whole. They should start by collectively demanding greater powers to send for "people and papers"– that is, to see who and what they want, like US congressional committees." – Andrew Tyrie MP in The Guardian

Dr Wollaston called for tough action to stem the rapid growth of problem drinking she witnessed during her 23 years as a GP and backed the imposition of minimum prices on alcohol." – The Independent

Jackie Ashley: How the Coalition could destroy the Lib Dems
"The coalition could fail and have to face the wrath of disappointed voters; who would, presumably, therefore vote for the opposition, which is now Labour, not the Liberal Democrats. Neither outcome looks a happy one for the junior partner. Clegg's answer to this, the only plausible one, is that he must get a change to the voting system before that election takes place, to ensure the third party is better represented. That's why the timetable for proposals and a referendum on voting reform has taken so much hard bargaining behind the scenes. Without it, the Lib Dems will indeed be destroyed." – Jackie Ashley in The Guardian
