Liberal Democrats tweet about tax
There’s been rather a flurry of Liberal Democrats tweeting about tax today (provoked in part no doubt by Labour talking about the issue too). Here are some of the highlights.

Interesting debates on #fairertaxes today – looks like the coalition press offices are winning though.
