In a few hours the Chancellor stands up. Before he does, remember who is holding the pen. John Healey. Twenty nine years on the taxpayer. In 2012, with 1,400 children raped across his own borough over sixteen years, he was "not convinced" an inquiry would help them. Then he sued the UKIP MEP who said it out loud, and took fifty four thousand pounds off her. And kept it. He did not pay the council tax on his second home. An "administrative error". He intended to claim the £1,469 back on expenses. And in June he resigned as Defence Secretary because the government would not commit to 3 per cent of GDP on defence. By his own letter, the country could not be defended. Today he is Chancellor, and he is already briefing that he will shelve the 3 per cent. So the man who walked out because Britain could not be defended is now the man who decides what Britain can afford. That is who signs the cheques. That is who decides how much of your money you keep. Listen to what he says. Then watch what he does with it.
