Row over ending of 50p tax rate threatens to spark Tory rebellion

(07.09.) In the Commons, Tory MP Nadine Dorries complained that „the Liberal Democrats make up 8.7% of this parliament and yet they seem to be influencing our free school policy, health and many issues including immigration and abortion. Does the prime minister think it is about time he told the deputy prime minister who is the boss?“ Tory MP Mark Reckless complained No 10 had listened to the Lib Dems in delaying the election of police commissioners until next October – and asked if he would now also listen to his own party over a referendum on EU membership.
