Labour plan 'less Robin Hood than Mickey Mouse' says Cablepublished at 23:18 British Summer Time 13 May 2017

Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Sir Vince Cable dismisses Labour's plan for a financial transaction tax and instead attacks the party over its Brexit stance.
Quote Message
Labour's economic policy is less Robin Hood than Mickey Mouse. It has already put our financial services sector and advanced manufacturing industry at risk by backing Theresa May’s extreme plans to leave the single market and customs union.
As business secretary in the coalition government back in 2013, Sir Vince indicated, external he was "quite disposed" to such a levy to "change behaviour" in the financial sector.
Before that, in 2011, he said he had "no objection in principle" to a globally constituted tax but argued that a tax solely in Europe would amount to a "tax on Britain".
