Video also available on YouTube.

According to Danny, the Government’s priorities are:

To build on the decisions taken in the emergency Budget last June, and in the Spending Review
To take steps that will help support the economy as it moves back to health again
To promote fairness during difficult economic times, e.g. increasing the personal tax allowance

There’ll be an open thread on Lib Dem Voice later this morning, where you can discuss Budget 2011.

Read more by Helen Duffett or more about budget 2011 or Danny Alexander.

Since there will undoubtedly be a great many opinion pieces at LDV on the Budget and other large political stories would it not be helpful to reinstate the excellent and informative “Most Read” feature which appears to have been disabled?

John: The ‘Most Read’ feature pulls statistics from WordPress who are having troubles with their IT systems at the moment. When they are fixed the panel will kick in and start working again.
