Spending Challenge: back with a whimper‏

The Other Taxpayers Alliance reports on the farce of Chancellor Osborne’s Spending Challenge and amidst thousands of banalities spots some progressive demands which have slipped through the Treasury’s net:
• Privatisation costs money
• Support a Robin Hood Tax on banks
• Renationalise the railway network
• Don't cut public sector jobs
• We do not need Trident
• Tax the rich more
