Tories playing the Monkees as Cameron finishes his Conference speech...
Id we're "all in it together" as he's have us believe, how come his first priority is still a tax break for a few of the richest estates in the country by cutting inheritance tax for millionaires...?

Did Treasury 'mole' leak Labour's inheritance tax plan to Tories...?
Treasury documents released to the Daily Telegraph tonight prove that Labour was planning to cut inheritance tax months before the Tories announced it as their idea.
The Tories claimed that Labour's budget announcement last month which cut inheritance tax was an ideal 'stolen' from the Tories.
In the Commons, David Cameron challenged Gordon Brown to look me in the eye and say there were plans to cut inheitance tax before the Tory announcement.
But Treasury documents from as early as last January show how the plans to cut inheritance tax were developed and completely vindicate the Prime Minister.
The papers have been released under the Freedom of Information Act (itself delivered by Labour!!)
Meanwhile, Channel Four News reports that a senior Tory has admitted that they have a 'mole' deep inside the Treasury.
So if anyone's guilty of 'theft', it's the Tories!
Will David Cameron look Gordon Brown in the eye and apologise...?
No. Didn't think so.

Wee Georgie gets his sums wrong...
Georgie Osborne's mum may think he's in cubs: but actually he's in Blackpool swotting up on his Ladybird Book of Sums.
In a desperate measure to save David Cameron's Tories, wee Georgie told a massive £3.5 BILLION porkie today.
He pledged that if the Tories win the next general election - whenever it comes - they would raise the inheritance tax threshold to £1 million.
Georgie claimed he'd make up the £3.5 billion a year shortfall to the Treasury caused by this proposal with plans on residence and domicile.
But within hours, a £2.9 billion BLACK HOLE has been exposed in his uncosted plan, clearly demonstrating why Britain could not afford to risk to our stable, strong economy by putting Cameron and Osborne in charge.
They couldn't be trusted as bankers on a monopoly board, let alone the nation's finances.
Alistair Darling, the real Chancellor of the Exchequer says:

Alistair Darling, the real Chancellor of the Exchequer says:
"Initial costings by the Treasury show that George Osborne's proposal would raise a maximum of £650m, leaving at least £2.9 billion short. So George Osborne cannot afford the promises he is making. He cannot afford to cut inheritance tax.Wake up Georgie, it's time for school...
"Their sums simply do not add up. There is a gaping black hole at the heart of their tax and spending plans. Today's commitments come on top of £3 billion in tax credit changes, which Mr Osborne admitted today might not be fundable in the next parliament, as well as their commitments on stamp duty and business taxes."
