Danny Alexander, new Treasury chief, avoided capital gains tax on house

Reading the article the true target is Clegg

Clearly we have an orchestrated campaign by the right wing Tory press to undermine the coalition and maybe Cameron as well

Any bets on the date of the next election ?

The Labour party will need to get its finger out or we could be back at the polls before they have even started their leadership contest.

1. It's indeed clear that the RW press want to undermine the coalition or at least its more liberal

policies. That was obvious from the start, but they're getting ever more blatant about it.

In this case, it's probably most of all about the coalition's policies on Capital Gains tax.

2. As with the tea-baggers in the States, for the Press Barons ...

... a centre-right government is simply not good enough.
