Heffer's Law holds

From today's Telegraph:

So it should be clear what the Tories have to promise to do should they win the next election... They especially have to promise to scrap the spiteful and iniquitous 45 per cent tax band for those earning more than £150,000 a year, and which will raise a derisorily small amount of revenue.

And from todays YouGov poll commissioned by the... err... Telegraph:

The poll found that 60% of the public supported Chancellor Alistair Darling's announcement of a temporary cut in VAT and 72% welcomed his new higher-rate tax band for the wealthy.
