David Cameron

Gordon Brown has confirmed the General Election will be held on 6 May, with the state of the economy and the future of financial services regulation to be the key manifesto targets.

David Cameron says the biggest risk to the economy "is the Prime Minister," following today's Budget statement.

Alistair Darling yesterday insisted Labour would not hold a second Budget should it win the general election and ruled out a rise in VAT, dismissing Conservative claims that this week's Budget would be "window dressing".

You may not agree with Gordon Brown's handling of the economic crisis, but at least it can be said there is one party controlling policy.

David Cameron is facing questions about how much he knew about Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft's "non-dom" tax status.

Brewin Dolphin has admitted it overstated its profits for 2008 by £4.2m, meaning its pre-tax profit for that year was £32m rather than the £36.2m it had previously reported.

The Conservatives will restore the link between earnings and the level of the basic state pension should they win next year's general elections, David Cameron says.

The Conservative Party has confirmed it will not scrap personal accounts should it win next year's general election.

This year's budget did little for insurance

Conservative Party plans to abolish public sector final salary pensions would destroy "the best pension schemes in Britain", argues Pensions Minister Mike O'Brien.
