Calton is up North at the moment, where the hills are rugged and the broadband is super-slow, so don't expect too much scintillating comment for the next few days, however he does want to take the opportunity to say how disappointed he is that the Chancellor refused to give hard-working families and small businesses a helping hand in the budget by reducing the cost of diesel. Not only that, but the planned increase of 3p per litre in August is still going ahead! How can George Osborne possibly justify this? We are an oil-producing nation and yet our pump prices are among the highest in the world! And the only solution Labour can come up with is to cut VAT, like that will make much difference. If the SNP want to win votes for independence, all they need to do is to promise to slash petrol prices. It would be a shoo-in.
