UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown hinted at tax cuts in a speech given at the Lord Mayors banquet at the Guildhall in London yesterday evening.

Opposition leader David Cameron announced he would introduce a package of tax breaks for businesses taking on unemployed workers. The policy was quickly attacked by Labour as being unfunded.

Gordon Brown has been bouncing back in opinion polls as he continues to impress UK voters with his handling of the economic crisis. He is now seen as a key player on the world stage.
Labour is currently trailing the Conservatives by only 5%. With a 9% swing to Labour in the last month.

Cameron's image has been hurt as he's done badly in recent exchanges in the House of Commons. Where a cheap shot about the Prime Minister phoning Barack Obama backfired badly.
