List of Labour u-turns

[Puggit]

Due to a childish troll in another forum, I require a list of Labour u-turns by the current government.

I'll start with:

10p tax threshold
Referendum on European Constitution
ID cards
Tony Blair sitting out the government term
Removal of childcare vouchers for higher rate tax payers
Police Force mergers
No university fees

Lots more, I'm sure...

Dave's u-turns

Support for Banking Bailout
Lisbon Treaty referendum
Government Spending pledge
Section 28

To be fair he didn't have much of a choice, considering Labour decided to just ratify it anyway without giving any of us the choice.

I have made a sound decision and magicked loads of money available to buy more Chinooks - because I am a wise forward thinker in military procurement

More of a couple of J turns rather than one U turn there?

Road pricing............................although I fear that the U turn is more of a diversion whilst our new overlords in Brussels push this through regardless.......................and who’s the traitor responsible for the illegal agreement to and ratification of the EU constitution......why its bLiar & winky

Lisbon Treaty referendum

Ignoring the obvious point that CMD isnt the PM, you cant have a referendum over the adoption of a law, if its already been passed into law.............although hopefully we with a little pressure have a referndum on our future EU role (no doubt depending on how many votes UKIP get)

Indeed, that one's not dead and buried yet.
